His reasons were that Japanese military strategy had failed miserably, because the Japanese .had overestimated their own strength and underestimated China's powers of resistance. They had also penetrated too deep into Chinese territory. Their political strategy had failed too when they used Chinese social outcasts to set up puppet organisations. REMAINING VACANT.
