Talk:Wang Jingwei

message: Can the anonymous user who put in the bit about Cochinchina cite a reference?  Cochinchina refers to a part of southern Vietnam. I had always understood the formal name of the Nanjing government to have simply been the "State of China". --Diderot 21:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: When Wang was leading his goverment from Wuhan in 1927, he collaborated closely with Mao Zedong, Borodin, and Chen Duxiu to form the "Central Land Committee", which was supposed to redistribute land to peasants and former Kuomintang soldiers once the Nationalists had re-unified China.  The existence of this Committee was one of the main reasons that his government was attacked by neighboring warlords.  (I didn't put this into the article because, frankly, my source's attempts to discuss the events surrounding the end of the Wuhan government are extremely confusing).  Obviously, Chiang dismantled this committee once his own seniority was established.Ferox Seneca (talk) 06:50, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Should this article be moved to Wang Ching-wei? He was known in the English press as such. — Instantnood 09:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly, is it very correct to retroactively apply Hanyu Pinyin adopted in 1958 to placenames in his lifetime? For example, Nanking and Chungking were used instead of Nanjing and Chongqing at that time.--Jusjih 10:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Government of National Salvation 

message: This is the man who brought Mao Zedong himself back from disgrace when the communists failed to re-elect Mao to the Politburo at the Fourth Party Congress in 1925.  Where did he go?  South to the KMT, working in Wang Jingwei's Propaganda Department.  And who led the left-KMT when Chiang Kai shek was gathering the right to attack them in their second party congress?  Wang Jingwei.  The assertion that Wang was a "stauch anti communist" is complete rubbish from CCP supporters who don't like real history.  Look it up!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.225.217.144 (talk) 14:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In a radio speech in Tokyo in 1941, Wang pledged that he would work with the Empire of Japan to fight against Western imperialism and Communism. (This info is now in the article).  By naming them specifically together, he equated them as being equally harmful to China. Because this contradicts his earlier political alignment, he was likely just parroting the views of his Japanese masters, but these were his public views after he defected.Ferox Seneca (talk) 07:03, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Wang Jingwei as staunchly anti-communist is a patently false statement

message: I find it quite strange that Sun Yat-sen is considered a modern hero while Wang Jingwei was not.  They both were good friends, attended foreign colleges, both lived in Japan, and shared the same political values. Huo Xin (talk) 18:19, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Wang would definitely be viewed differently if he had not defected.  I personally attribute his defection to a personal rivalry with Chiang Kai-shek, but that isn't important.  It's difficult to be labelled a hanjian and still be viewed well by historians.Ferox Seneca (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The rank of Generalissimo has been added to the infobox by  (this edit) followed by  adding Wang Jingwei to the list of generalissimos (this edit). Apparently the rational is he took the rank of his predecessor which was "General Special Class" and western journalists rendered that Generalissimo. This seems to be WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. We should require a specific citation for this or any rank. Without one it should be removed. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 18:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
