Propaganda posters in Wuhan, mid-1938. Found in an album that had belonged to Leslie Reginald Frederick Shrimpton RN (1910-1964), who served on the gunboat HMS Falcon in China waters from 1937 to 1939. All photographs and descriptions with translations from University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China. 

1) The banner depicts Nationalist forces attacking the Japanese. The Chinese text on the banner urges viewers to join the military, fight the Japanese, and thereby defend China. Bi-s168

2) Anti-Japanese public hygiene banner. The slogans on the lower banner (depicting a fly with a Japanese Rising Sun Nisshōki emblem) read: 'We need to knock down our enemies with the world's sympathy on us'. 'We need to prevent cholera and kill flies; and if you want to survive, kill the Japanese soldiers'. 'If you don't kill it, it's going to kill you'. The higher banner depicts Japanese bombers attacking a train. A wall poster on the left reads: 'Build a new Great Wall with our heads'.

3) Banner by L'Association des Etudiants Chinois de Retour de FBS (France, Belgium and Switzerland Returned Students Association), Hankow (Hankou). The banner text provides explicit details that accompany the image of 'cruel massacre and rape never before heard of'. Bi-s163.

4) Propaganda banner featuring Chiang Kai-shek. The slogans on the banner read: 'War of Resistance to the end!' and 'Support the leader'. Chiang Kai-shek is depicted beside Hankou (Wuhan) on the map of war-torn China. This photograph was taken in Wuhan. 

5) The banner slogan reads: 'We demand that the Japanese repay their blood debt!' Photograph taken in Wuhan. Bi-s164. Photograph 3 shows the same building in a different location.. The actual term used here for 'Japanese' is 倭寇 'Dwarf pirates'. Bi-s167.

6) The main banner, showing charging soldiers and workers, bears the slogan: 'Defend Wuhan!' The Hankou (Hankow) bund is depicted in the banner - the clock tower is part of the Custom House. The banner was made by the 'Korean Youth Wartime Service Corps' (朝鲜青年战时服务团), founded in Wuhan in December 1937 by leftist Korean nationalists. Bi-s166.

7) Banner outside the headquarters of "L’Association des Etudiants Chinois de Retour de FBS", Wuhan. The banner was made by L'Association des Etudiants Chinois de Retour de FBS (France, Belgium and Switzerland Returned Students Association). The banner slogan reads 'Mobilize the power of the masses to defend Wuhan'. Sign on the window of the L'Association des Etudiants Chinois de Retour de FBS headquarters building at 69 Jianghan Road (江漢路六十九號) in Hankow (Hankou), in French: BUFFET & BILLIARD. Sign on the window in Chinese: Cold drinks / Coffee. Bi-s162

8) Remarkably, famed war photographer Robert Capa took this photograph of the street from inside of 69 Jianghan Road. This was identified by the excellent Visualizing China blog, and the image is marked from the International Center of Photography/Magnum Photos, who published it with other photos in 2018.

The Lunar New Year is usually the time for a week-long celebration in Chinatown, but in 1938 China was at war with Japan. On January 31st, residents of Chinatown observed the start of 4642 by praying in Joss houses (temples) rather than carousing in the streets. They were also working toward collecting $600,000, set as the year's war relief quota of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association.

Chinese troops man a machine gun position during the Battle of Changteh - November 1943. The Battle of Changde (Battle of Changteh) was a major engagement in the Second Sino-Japanese War in and around the Chinese city of Changde (Changteh) in the province of Hunan. Despite major losses for both sides and alleged reports that the Japanese army used chemical weapons Chinese forces managed to hold out for a decisive and defensive victory.

Do you think the sutton Sunk would have made an impact in the second sino-japanese war if china actually got its hands on it?

In my opinion, not really, and it has very little to do with the tankette itself. By 1937, China was so woefully behind the rest of the world in technology, industrialization, and development, that there was no real chance of a Chinese victory, especially against Japan, a nation that had seized onto the western tenets and methods of militarism, industrialism, and imperialism like second nature.

I'm sure that, in isolated engagements, the Skunk could have made a difference, but even in the very best scenario, it would be a case of "won the battle, but lost the war"

“When the bitterest fighting in the Shanhaikwan conflict occurred— the great south gate of the city -  with Japanese troops swarming over it shortly after the Japanese occupation. It was it the south gate that the most stubborn Chinese resistance was made and where both armies suffered their heaviest casualties.”

- from the Kingston Whig-Standard. February 3, 1933. Page 11.

During WWII did the Japanese Empire have any interest in taking possession of Tibet or securing the then child Dali Lama?

Not that I'm aware of, but they needed a whole lot of China to get through before even worrying about trying to take Tibet. I doubt they were planning that far ahead.

Thanks for the question, Anon.
