<<China had over 11 million people dead in WWII. And Japan was defeated because of the resistance by Chinese people not because of the two A-bombs the US had dropped, although the nuclear bombs did save some American' lives for sure, at the expense of Japanese civilians. Geez, your guys stupidity can never fail to amuse me>>

Tell me Yiwu, what great battle was it that the Chinese resistance handed Japan its defeat? You are correct in assessing the Russian contribution to the war, with some exaggeration as it seems you judge contribution by casualty figures, but China contributed little to the defeat of Japan, which only occupied the coastal regions while Mao and the communists retreated into the interior, and would have starved if not for the British building the Burma Road. In the Pacific, it was the US that won the war, almost singlehandedly. There were no Russian or Chinese fleets involved at the Battle of the Coral Seas, or any Chinese soldiers fighting in the Philipines, or Okinawa, or Iwo Jima. No Chinese carriers at the Battle of Midway, to my knowledge...
