Perhaps ... the propaganda.

Great shots and info

Not one of our finest hours above.

Agreed David, Canada was involved with the same mess. Makes you wonder what would have happened if they had rounded up all the German and Italian citizens as well

Chasing Chiang Kai-shek, captured Chinese weapon near Shanghai in August, 1937.
Looks like Japanese-made tanks but I have no exact idea.

Nice Shinpachi. According to this site it looks like a Vickers Mark E Vickers Mark E (6-Ton) tank - international service
In 1935, the Chinese government bought 16 single-turret tanks Vickers Mark E Type B, of a standard model. In the following year 4 more were bought, fitted with Marconi radios in a turret niche (contrary to commonly repeated information in publications, they weren't Mark F tanks, neither even had Mark F hulls, what is evident on photos).
