<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 3139315, member: 4373&quot;]Perhaps it is your time to do some homework. </p><p><br /></p><p>China at this time was in an internal struggle after the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, becoming a Republic state. Warlords soon ruled over various provinces and Sun Yat Sen tried to unify the country with the help of Soviet communists. I believe the Chinese Communist Party formed around 1920s. This proved to be more than difficult as China has historically been corrupted and it got compounded when the ideological leader Sun Yat Sen passed away. However there was more behind this story of why China was forced into this position.</p><p><br /></p><p>China literally was in pieces as China was carved up by foreign countries. On top of this, Japan has always been a threat. The first Sino Japanese war happened in 1894 - 1895. This was a complete Chinese loss, leading to lose Korea to Japan as well as their reputation. While China at that time had some of the best technology from Germans - corruption meant that warships had their cannons secretly sold for scrap metals and the list of embarrassment went a long way.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the Eastern end, Japan slowly worked it&#039;s way towards inner China and formed Manchukuo in 1932. They even reinstated the last Emperor of China Pu Yi to become the Puppet Emperor. From the Western end at around the same time, the Red Army (later known as the Chinese Communist Party) was fleeing away from the Nationalist Party. This was known the Long March This is easily one of the biggest mistakes the Nationalist Party made as they did not realize how big Japanese threat was. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 1937, this was when the Japanese setup China to be at war known as the Marco Polo incident. At this point, the National Army had their objectives and priorities completely wrong, literally caught with their pants down. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll leave the rest of reading out there. At this point of time when these coins were issued, China was NOT a communist country. In fact it would be a blunt disregard of the chaotic Chinese history in the last century. The Chinese still refer the last century as the most embarrassing era in her history and hold a grudge out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
