The US did nothing in 1931 when Japan invaded and seized Manchuria.

The US was largely uninvolved from the start of WW II in Asia with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on 7 July 1937 until after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The war was half over before the US became an official combatant. Although WW II for China doesn’t really end until 1949 with the expulsion of all foreign influences.

You lying sack of Communist Chinese propaganda!:

1. The US stood up for Manchuria and China in the League of Nations and imposed embargoes on the Japanese to try to restrain their open violations of international law. The Japanese answered by leaving the League.

2. In June 1941, the first aircraft and American pilots of the American Volunteer Group - the Flying Tigers - began operations in China against the Japanese. There were also large investments in combat materiel and humanitarian aid to the Chinese people from the US and other Allied nations. The US provided massive aid to China throughout the war and hundreds - perhaps thousands - of Americans died in China to help save China.

WWII ended with the unconditional surrender of the Japanese in August 1945. You Chinese Communists used the weakened state of the Nationalist Chinese Army (and the relatively uncommitted and unused forces of the communists) to overthrow the Nationalists and seize control of China in 1949.

Pound sand, enemy agent!
