UNITED CHINA RELIEF WORLD WAR II PROPAGANDA FILM "THIS IS CHINA" 71952

Produced in 1942 by the American group called United China Relief, "This is China" uses newsreel and travelogue footage to present a portrait of "our friends and allies" -- the Chinese people.
United China Relief was founded in 1941 in New York City for the purpose of raising funds to aid the Chinese people during times of national crisis. The main function of United China Relief was to provide funds for the relief and rehabilitation of the Chinese people. Ancillary goals were to serve as a medium for informing Americans on events and conditions in China, and to help to reassure the Chinese people of continued American concern and friendship.
At the 00:17:15:00 mark, the film describes the modernization of China and its apparent Westernization, with the underlying theme evident that China might very well become one of the great, democratic and capitalistic nations on Earth.
At the 20 minute mark, the film shifts in tone from travelogue to a study of the historical events surrounding the Japanese invasion. Scenes of refugees fleeing from the Japanese army are shown, and various atrocities and war crimes are described. The strength and spirit of the Chinese people are emphasized as they work to repel the Japanese, with many co-operative workshops established to help in the war effort.

Whoever runs this channel couldn't control themselves jumping into the comments with their idiotic biases.

This movie is very clear proof that Tibet, Xinjiang and Mogolia were Chinese territories. Please donnot remove this film because it will serve a very good resource to defend Chinas territory integrity

[@PeriscopeFilm]

The entire world knows that China invaded Tibet when it was a sovereign nation.

Yes it is China’s territory through conquest. Whoever conquered what it becomes theirs
