Source 8: US Military Assistance United China Relief Poster

US aid to China during the Sino-Japanese War.

This poster forms part of an appeal to donate aid to China, aimed at US citizens. It also sought to change the negative stereotypes of Chinese in the US who had suffered from racism. There is a dubious assertion of China as a country 'struggling victoriously towards democracy' invoking Sun Yat-Sen's three principles. Chiang Kai-Shek would not carry though Sun's stated aim of creating a democratic nation.
