How did you come to be called "Japanese devil"?

Japanese devils, derived from the word "foreign devils" directed at Western invaders. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898, "japanese devils" was also used to refer to Japanese invaders.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, "Japanese devils" evolved into a commonly used derogatory term for the Japanese in Chinese areas. "Japanese devils" are sometimes referred to as "japanese". For example, the "japanese" in the movie "The Japs Are Coming" and the song "Chop off the Japs' Heads with a Big Sword" refers to the Japanese invaders.
