汪兆銘政権
After the surrender of Japan and collapse of the collaborationist Reorganized National Government of China, Cai Pei was arrested as a "hanjian" on orders of Chiang Kai-shek's National Government in September 1945. The following July he was charged with promoting "Sino-Japanese friendship" and sentenced to death by the Shanghai High Court. After appealing to the Supreme Court, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in November 1947.
