10. Wang Jingwei Sides with Imperial Japan
Wang Jingwei, a prominent Chinese politician and former ally of Sun Yat-sen, became the head of a collaborationist government in Nanjing during World War II. This regime, known as the Wang Jingwei regime, was established with Japanese support and operated as a puppet state under Japanese control (globalsecurity.org). Wang’s collaboration with the Japanese led to his reputation as a traitor in Chinese history, a sentiment that persists to this day.
