Curve Salvation - Kyokusenkyukoku

... In October of that year, Wuhan was occupied by the Japanese army, and after the central party headquarters was moved to Chongqing, the Kuomintang again became passive in its resistance to Japan and active in its anti-communist stance, and Chiang Kai-shek and other members of the central party headquarters forced the Nationalist government to promulgate the Law Restricting the Activities of Opposition Parties and other laws in 1939, restricting the activities of the Communist Party, and even launched several armed attacks. During this time, pro-Japanese factions within the party, including Wang Jingwei, openly defended Japan's invasion, and in March 1940, they established a Japanese puppet government, the Nationalist Government, in Nanjing, and further reorganized Kuomintang surrender troops to form the Peaceful National Founding Army, which cooperated with the Japanese army. The Kuomintang, which considered the Wang Jingwei government a false organization, also advocated "resistance to Japan," while at the same time having some military and officials surrender to Japan and having them attack anti-Japanese bases together with the Japanese army, calling this "saving the country in a curve." After 1941, the Communist Party refused to attend the National Political Science Conference in protest against the Kuomintang's anti-communist policies, and in 1943 Chiang Kai-shek wrote "The Fate of China" and openly promoted his anti-communism, and the Kuomintang's cooperation with the Communist Party became almost nominal.
