1894 10 Yamagata Aritomo, who led the first Japanese invasion of China, invited Kotaro, a famous Japanese spy, scholar and master of Chinese studies, to concoct a notice entitled "Tell Heroes in Eighteen Provinces", which blatantly portrayed the Japanese army as the liberator to save the people of China from the dark Manchu Dynasty, thus confusing the people of China and deceiving some people of China by Japanese political propaganda. In fact, when Kotaro Zongfang was hunted down after his espionage activities on the land of the Qing Dynasty were exposed, some non-Manchu officials turned a blind eye to Kotaro Zongfang's whereabouts out of dissatisfaction with the Qing Dynasty, which saved him from this catastrophe.
Even after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Japan still used the propaganda of "Greater East Asia * * * survives * * glory" to confuse people in many Asian countries and deceive some of them into becoming accomplices of Japanese militarism. For example, in Myanmar, our southern neighbor, the statue of Aung San, the father of our country, wears a Japanese military coat and holds a Japanese army knife. He himself received Japanese training in Hainan Island and fought with the Chinese Expeditionary Force after returning home. When the Chinese Expeditionary Force fought alone in Myanmar, the local people were confused by the Japanese slogan "Myanmar is Myanmar for Burmese" and did not help the Chinese Expeditionary Force at all, resulting in heavy losses for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Presumably, the Ukrainian people at that time were also exploited by German political propaganda and ethnic contradictions with neighboring countries (the former Soviet Union joined the United States), and even confused and deceived, so the so-called welcome move was made. .
Looking back at history, it can be proved that weak countries have no diplomacy!
