[Chinese Collaborationist Propaganda Leaflet]

Author: [ANTI-CHIANG CARTOON ENCOURAGING COLLABORATION WITH JAPAN]
Title: [Chinese Collaborationist Propaganda Leaflet]
Publication: [Collaborationist-Controlled China or Japan]. (Circa 1940)

Description:

Small colour cartoon leaflet. Text in traditional Chinese characters. 10 x 15.5cm. Faint vertical crease, though overall in very good condition.

An insidiously light-hearted propaganda leaflet, presumably distributed by Imperial Japan or Chinese collaborationists amidst the Second Sino-Japanese War. Its intent appears to be to discredit the regime of Chiang Kai-shek by associating him with British (and by extension Western) imperialism and the century of humiliation. The cartoon portrays an ailing Chinese patient suffering from a swollen, Union Jack-emblazoned knee, attended by two enthusiastic Japanese medics.

The text at right reads: "把援蔣的綑帶解開來看! 非把這百年大患的惡瘤割掉, 中國是不會再站起來的!", roughly translating to "Look! The fetters aiding Chiang must be broken! Unless the malignant tumor of this century-old great affliction is excised, China will not be able to stand up again!".

Guarantee

We want you to be 100% satisfied in all your dealings with us. We are experienced booksellers who appreciate the importance of condition and make every effort to carefully and fairly describe each book we handle. To ensure this happens we take great pains to accurately describe the condition of our books in cases, such as antiquarian or secondhand books, where a condition description is required. If you see no explanation of condition in a description of a book, you can safely assume that it is either a new book or is a secondhand/out of print book in excellent condition.
