the episode had less to do with Britain, I believe, else how can we explain why Britain and its other possessions did nothing, whilst Harbin, Tianjin and such w/ nothing to do w/ Britain also allowed in the refugees?

the guy my grandfather worked for, dr sun, saw merit w/ the jews en.wikipedia.org

<<Dr. Sun Yat-sen, founder of the Republic of China, held admiration for the Jewish people and Zionism, and he also saw parallels between the persecution of Jews and the domination of China by the Western powers. He stated, "Though their country was destroyed, the Jewish nation has existed to this day... [Zionism] is one of the greatest movements of the present time. All lovers of democracy cannot help but support wholeheartedly and welcome with enthusiasm the movement to restore your wonderful and historic nation, which has contributed so much to the civilization of the world and which rightfully deserve [sic] an honorable place in the family of nations." [41]>>

Dr Sun of course also counted on a Canadian Jew for services required per call of duty en.wikipedia.org double-gun-cohen

it turns out, my grandpa eugene and two-gun knew each other, and eugene hired Cohen per ...

en.wikipedia.org <<Cohen fought with the Canadian Railway Troops in Europe during World War I where part of his job involved supervising Chinese labourers. He also saw some fierce fighting at the Western Front, especially during the Third Battle of Ypres. After the war, he resettled in Canada. But the economy had declined and the days of the real estate boom were long over. Cohen looked for something new to do, and in 1922 he headed to China to help close a railway deal for Sun Yat-sen with Northern Construction and JW Stewart Ltd. After disembarking in Shanghai, Cohen went to see George Sokolsky, the New-York born journalist who worked for Sun's English-language Shanghai Gazette. Sokolsky arranged an interview for him with Eugene Chen, Sun's English language secretary. Cohen was hired, and soon ensconced himself at Sun’s home at 29 Rue Molière in the city’s French Concession. He then got right to work.>>

... and were Hakka Chinese and jewish collaborators for the rebellion per books.google.com.hk

(note: the book is wrong, for Eugene's mother was also Hakka Chinese, member of a large Trinidad Chinese family that bankrolled the first oil well, set up chain stores, turned the whole outfit into bank and minted money for the crown. Eugene's first wife, my grandma, was French creole
