Anti-imperial rhetoric in the Nationalist party

English Transcription from Chinese Christian Posters Website: “Economy is the fundamental building block of the society, just like the building houses. If the corner is stable, the house will be stable. If the corners are short [of bricks], the houses will not last long. In recent years, a group of imperialists, who, having colluded with warlords, had invaded our country in many forms of bandit-like manners, the most vicious of which is the economic invasion that aims to devastate our nation and exterminate us. Our nationals should beware of the economic invasion!”

“British imperialists shipped two million pounds of bullets from Tianjin to help the Zhi Lu [Zhili and Shandong] army. The big dog helped the small dog, then supplied bullets to cause troubles, be careful! The hound of the imperialists, the lackey of the warlords.”
