How much aid did Japan and the United States give to China after World War II?

Indeed not.

After World War II, the United States sold some surplus materials to the Kuomintang, but the National Government paid for them. Of course, the price was very low, almost a scrap price. The main reason was that if these weapons were shipped back to the country by the US military, the first The freight is too expensive, more expensive than the weapons themselves. During the war, we didn’t care about the cost of transporting them. Now that the war has ended, we have to calculate the cost. Secondly, these weapons have no effect because of the end of World War II. They are just scrap metal when they are shipped back. It is better to find them. A buyer sells at a low price and recovers the cost. Of course, as the person above said, I also obtained some privileges with these weapons. Now it seems that it is a traitorous treaty. Of course, after Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, the United States gave some symbolic assistance, but it was still mainly about selling, and the price was frighteningly high. The P3C anti-submarine aircraft that Taiwan has been so excited about in the past two days was actually sold to Taiwan by the United States at a high price. It sold second-hand refurbished aircraft to Taiwan for US$2 billion, but delivery was delayed for several years.

Of course, it seems that the internal economy of the Kuomintang collapsed due to the Kuomintang Civil War, and the United States could not watch China being occupied by the red party. At that time, the Iron Curtain between the United States and the Soviet Union had already opened, and the U.S. Marshall Plan had been launched, so It is also possible to allocate certain funds to China, but not too much, because the U.S. government had already concluded that the Kuomintang had failed in early 1944. You can look for the highest-ranking official in the United States who visited China during the Anti-Japanese War. After the U.S. Vice President visited China, he gave Roosevelt The telegrams he sent, as well as some U.S. government meeting documents after returning to China, have all been declassified.

Japan, after World War II and before the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, did not provide any assistance to China. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1971, Japan had a fund to win over Asian countries at that time. The main aid to Asian countries was The loan still has to be repaid. But the interest rate is 0 or very low. Later, this loan was opened to developing countries around the world. Why do the Japanese actually have good relations with everyone in the world except China and South Korea? People from all over the world also have a favorable impression of Japan, which is inseparable from this money.

Of course, this money was also given to China, mainly to support China's infrastructure construction, basic farmland water supply construction, etc., and Japan also sent some experts to China, which indeed gave China a relatively large amount of help. We can still be sure of this. Of course, this amount of money seems to have become less and less in recent years. I don’t know if it has stopped.

Finally, let’s talk about Gao Xiaosong. I don’t talk about other people’s merits. It is true that Gao Xiaosong joined I have an American nationality, and I often say things on behalf of the United States. This is actually normal and right. After all, I am an American, so of course I use American thinking and American perspectives to talk about things. Although sometimes some views do have small problems. However, from an academic point of view, Gao Xiaosong still has advantages, but it is normal that his opinions are not profound. As a successful musician and a person in the literary and art industry, we cannot ask him to be proficient in all aspects. Of course, sometimes he is obviously paranoid and unreasonable. If you are proficient, it is better not to show your shame. Xiao said that I also insisted on watching it. Some parts were quite good. Of course, there were still obvious mistakes, which are understandable. I can only say that it is not easy for the literary and art circles to find such a person to do such a program.
