Lots can be said about the various Sinojapanese events but I would like to point attention towards the Washington naval treaty and how it affected Japan and British relations with America, as well as the British naval tradition that is the foundation of the imperial Japanese Navy

Prior to World War 2, the US was not on the greatest terms with the British or Japanese with regards to the Navy.

@USA_BaoziLover 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 okay, my 🇺🇦USA white supremacist. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@ichbin_ironhill No love for banderites over here. My family were Jewish tailors in Galicia who left before things got bad.

@USA_BaoziLover never seen this picture before. thanks

@USA_BaoziLover Also don't forget how the Western powers' media treated the Jinan Incident. There was always a pan-imperialist solidarity when comes to defending the concession zones.

@Ancien_Regime_ Yes and in the future after the big contradictions are resolved (Taiwan, Korean peninsula etc) naturally friendship driven by mutually benefit will prevail in my opinion

@USA_BaoziLover Back then it was a shared exploitation strategy. One of the most brutal exploitations in history via the colonial concessions.

@USA_BaoziLover UK, too far and Japan not doing anything bad to them and will not. Is fine for UK. Hey, what's wrong to congratulate each other's achievement on China. To them is this. To the Chinese is suffering

@USA_BaoziLover Then a few years later they were thrown into concentration camps or used as target practice, by the people they congratulated.

@USA_BaoziLover @hartsea82 I wonder if these 3 boorish Britz ended up being among the 10's of thousands of British servicemen in WW2 who either died @ the hands of the Japanese and/or had to endure the brutalities of Japan's prisoner of war camps, often described as a fate almost as horrific as death?

@USA_BaoziLover Don't confuse literal moments of comradery with actual inner-imperialist competition. The Japanese Empire challenged other imperial powers and was eliminated as a military competitor.

@USA_BaoziLover Never forget that in the early 80s a British immigration officer in Hong Kong called my family “The Mainland Pig Family” when we were in his office getting a temporary visa renew for 6 more months.

@USA_BaoziLover It was US support for China and against Japan that led to war between US/Japan.

@USA_BaoziLover They are afraid that China will develop and surpass them. Because they are afraid that China will "avenge" their oppression.

@USA_BaoziLover wow
