Professor Rana Mitter writes on the worlds wartime debt to China

Rana Mitter has written a comment piece in the International New York Times (18 October) on the lack of credit that has been given to China's contribution to the Second World War.

Rana writes: "China’s resistance to Japan is one of the great untold stories of World War II. Though China was the first Allied power to fight the Axis, it has received far less credit for its role in the Pacific theater than the United States, Britain or even the Soviet Union, which only joined the war in Asia in August 1945. The Chinese contribution was pushed aside soon after the conflict, as an inconvenient story in the neat ideological narrative of the Cold War."
