Notes:

In this striking poster created in support of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China (a collaborationist regime established in Beijing shortly after the Japanese invasion of 1937), Chiang and Stalin lie amongst skulls and bones as Chinese civilian hosts the five-coloured flag used by this regime. Note the skeletal nature of Chiang's head as it is depicted here.
