China’s “V for Victory”

China lias had a “V for Victory” campaign for four years against Japan. Chinese in Japanese-occupied territory use the Chinese characters “Chin How f?an Lee”—literally “Eventual Victory.” The Chinese Consul-General for Australia (Dr. C. J. Pao) said: “Australians should regard the ‘V,’ not as a fashionable slogan but as a powerful psychological victory stimulus. The Chinese very quickly realised that psychological weapons could be as powerful as military afrms in modern warfare.

“The symbols were banned in Japanese occupied territory, but the Chinese people continued to write them up in defiance. The Chinese victory slogan strengthened the morale of the people so much that other slogans were introduced in 1938.”
