Japan. He added that Japan was determined to end “the China affair” successfully, either by the annihilation of the Chungking regime or by its incorporation in Nanking. A. solution, he added, was closer because the quality of the Chinese front line troops was deteriorating. Japan was in no particular hurry to end the China war.
