Why did Japan s post war reparations go to Southeast Asia?

Because Japan also invaded Southeast Asian countries.

During World War II, Japan invaded Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Mongolia, the Philippines, Malaya, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Brunei, Timor-Leste, New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Burma, Australia, Pearl Harbor of the United States, and some British islands. I have not listed all the countries, but Japan is not the only one that has invaded them. After Japan's surrender, World War II ended.

Japan should have compensated all the countries it invaded, but China did not accept his compensation, and the countries of Southeast Asia accepted Japan's compensation.

1. Japan's Post-War ReparationsHow much after the end of World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, made reparations to the countries he invaded. Japan's total compensation was $100 million, which was far less than the total amount of compensation paid by Germany, a fascist country. Germany's total compensation is equivalent to 100,000 tons**, and Germany is required to pay compensation within 42 years.

And Japan not only compensated those countries that he invaded, but also compensated neutral countries with some funds.

2. Why did Japan not compensate Japan after the war, and the reason for giving compensation to China was that the people were pressured by the United States and finally decided to be lenient in this matter and did not receive any substantive compensation. Due to the domestic situation in the later period, the national ** is gradually declining, the People's Republic of China is also recognized by neighboring countries, Japan is also eager to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, and New China is not entangled in the matter of compensation, so there is no follow-up to the final compensation.

3. After the war, we still cannot forgive Japan, although Japan gave great financial help and loans to New China after the establishment of New China. However, their history textbooks have never acknowledged the fact of the war of aggression, so we still cannot forgive Japan's actions.

This is because Japan wants to open up the economic market in Southeast Asia and use the excuse of post-war reparations to bring it closer to Southeast Asia.

This is the genius of Japan, which opened the first stop of Japanese diplomacy through "reparations diplomacy".

During World War II, Japan's aggression caused great damage to East and Southeast Asia, and after the war, Japan opened up overseas markets in order to restore its economy, and opened up the Southeast Asian market with compensation as a bargaining chip.

This is because Japan has knocked on the door of the market of Southeast Asian countries on the condition of compensation, and has taken the opportunity to take root in Southeast Asian countries.

After July 1972, China made active preparations for the normalization of diplomatic relations with Japan, and the premier gave the following instructions on the issue of giving up war reparations: First, before the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan had already given up the demand for reparations before us, and the Communist Party's belly could not be smaller than Chiang Kai-shek's. Second, in order to restore diplomatic relations with China, Japan must sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

** With regard to Japan's relations with Taiwan, a tolerant attitude on the issue of reparations is conducive to bringing Japan closer to us. Third, if Japan is required to pay compensation to China, the burden will eventually fall on the broad masses of the Japanese people, so that they will be forced to live a difficult life for a long time in order to pay compensation to China. This is not in line with the desire to remain friendly with the Japanese people.

The attitude reflects the broad-mindedness of the Communist Party of China, and also represents the tolerance and long-term vision of a large country.

The lost dignity of the Chinese cannot be eliminated by compensation.

Thailand is relatively smart and cunning, and Thailand at that time has become a wall-to-wall grass, and whoever is strong will be attached to whomever it wants. Thailand has taken advantage of the contradictions between other countries and ensured its own security.

Thailand had already joined the Japanese camp at that time. Seeing that Japan was about to invade Southeast Asia, on December 7, 1941, when Japan launched the Pacific War, Thailand** signed the "Japan-Thailand Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty" with Japan.

It's not that Japan let Thailand go, but that Thailand took the initiative to surrender to Japan, and Thailand has become the ** of Japan's invasion of Southeast Asia!

The reason is very simple, because Thailand, which had been with Japan before the war, saw that Japan was about to sweep Southeast Asia, and joined the Japanese camp with "vision", and on December 7, 1941, when Japan launched the Pacific War, Thailand ** signed the "Japan-Thailand Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty" with Japan, that is, Thailand, which joined the Alliance Treaty in 1941, actually became a member of the Axis powers.

Mainly because Thailand is too knowledgeable about current affairs, he has always been Japan's dog, and when Japan invaded Southeast Asia, he helped Japan recruit troops.

No, in view of the fact that the huge post-war reparations of the First World War prompted the establishment of German fascism, after the Second World War, all countries unanimously decided not to pay war reparations.

With the exception of China, the countries that have invaded have basically lost their money.

First, Japan became the most important ally of the United States in Asia after the Korean War.

With the support of the United States, there is no willingness to pay China any war reparations, even if it is other countries that have been invaded by Japan, the war reparations obtained through the San Francisco Conference hosted by the United States are very small compared with the reparations paid by Germany to the invaded countries, and at that time, when China was divided between the two sides of the strait, the United States and Japan threatened to pay war reparations through two-sided coercion, first when Taiwan gave up the war reparations, and then China and Japan established diplomatic relations because of the need for diplomatic situations, they also gave up the war reparations and accepted Japan's so-called yen loans. In fact, at that time, Japan itself needed capital exports to open up the market, and there was no need to give up war reparations at all.
