After 11 years of war of resistance against Japan, China won victory, and this historic victory was indeed not easy to come by. During the 11-year war, countless soldiers and civilians on the Chinese side died in the war. Under such a great disparity between the forces of the enemy and ourselves, the Victory of the Chinese side is enough to make the people proud.
China's victory also meant Japan's defeat, but as the Chinese who was most tragically harmed by Japan," did not seize the opportunity of Japan's defeat to demand a compensation, but easily spared the other side. So, after Japan's defeat, why did China give up war reparations? It's still Chinese smart.
First of all, from a historical point of view, at that time, the United States, as the representative of the Allied Powers, chose Japan, which had just been defeated, as a younger brother in order to oppose the Soviet Union. In this way, the United States must think about Japan and not make the country too miserable. At that time, the Chinese government headed by Chiang Kai-shek had always been very affectionate with the United States, and out of the perspective of not wanting to offend old friends, Chiang Kai-shek did not ask Japan for compensation. After all, Chiang Kai-shek, who wanted to fight a civil war, still expected the Americans to give themselves strategic resources.
Although Chinese they have experienced many years of aggression by The Japanese fascists, most of the Chinese military and civilians have always been kind, and the situation in Japan in society at that time was really difficult, so the Chinese side did not ask for compensation, but only let Japan sign the defeat certificate, and let the other side promise to never invade China again.
Chinese kindness also benefited, and after the founding of New China, friendly relations with Japan were restored. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the Japanese side also sent many experts to help China carry out construction. To tell the truth, at that time, China was in a state of ruin, and with the help of Japan, China did recover a lot. Sino-Japanese relations can be eased after the founding of New China, and it has a lot to do with the fact that China did not press the other side at that time, and it seems that Japan can still perceive the kindness of Chinese.
Unfortunately, since 2008, Sino-Japanese relations have become sensitive, and the international relationship between the two sides has become awkward, and both sides have tried to maintain a superficial peace.
After entering a new era, there is competition and cooperation between China and Japan, and it is undeniable that this delicate relationship has indeed promoted the development of both sides, and China has also caught up with Japan for a time after obtaining advanced technology, of course, Japan is not willing to show weakness.
Thinking that Chinese gave up the reparations for the war, it seems that it is still Chinese clever now, because this move prompted Japan to fully aid China, and it also brought happiness to the Chinese, if we were not so generous at that time, we would have one less friend in the world who could help ourselves in the future.
