China has not experienced a large-scale war for more than three decades. In World War II, the Axis powers, centered on Germany and Japan, launched a brutal war of aggression against the Allies. At the time, 30 million people were killed or wounded in the war. Buildings were destroyed and many people were displaced and forced to join the battlefield.
China was also the country most badly injured in World War II. It is reasonable to say that after the war, Japan and other countries should give Corresponding Compensation to China. China even gave up war reparations. Why? Because China's comprehensive national strength is still not comparable to other countries, there is no corresponding international discourse, and the main reason is that the United States gave up war reparations after World War II and after the United States lobbied.
Because Japan's decision-making power was in the hands of the United States at that time, and Japan had no right to be the master, many countries, including China, gave up compensation under the lobbying of the United States. Since China had just experienced a 14-year war of resistance against Japan, China needed funds to restore its national power. Why didn't China ask for war reparations?
After 47 years, everyone suddenly realized that it was wise to know that decision. The Japanese thought they had taken advantage of it, but after 50 years they suddenly realized. It should be known that at that time, Japan's front line was very long, and Japan had nothing to lose in the war, and could only provide some second-hand weapons, which could not be paid off at one time, but could only be paid off slowly. At that time, China did not need Japanese weapons and did not have to wait for Japanese payments. From the perspective of international relations, the United States stepped forward and China supported it, which is also beneficial to the newly established China.
