"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

FDR literally dedicated an OSS division in assistance of both KMT and CPC against Japanese occupation to the point the American ambassador at the time develop friendship with Chairman Mao even during 1947 Civil War. The USN did bombing runs in Tokyo via China rescue their pilots because their bombers didn't have landing grounds and they directly flown into China territory for refuge as KMT and CPC partisans retrieved them.

Also the British was encircled in Myanmar by Japanese forces that the Indian forces attempted to break out but eventually get encircled again by Japanese, meanwhile the British personally requested legendary Sihang Warehouse victory 88th Division vets to trek thousands of kilometers from China with Yunnan partisans into Myanmar as suicide units to break both encirclements and freed British and Indian troops. Most of the 88th Division survivors later remained in Indochina especially Vietnam to fight against the French for Viet Minh especially brutal battles like Sa Đéc and Nà Sản where they dug under French garrisons as suicide squads and blow themselves up with munitions to make way for Viet Minh advance forces. In Battle of Hanoi 1945, 88th Division vets used molotov to smoke American Shermans supplied to the French and used bolt rifle like Mosin and M1 to snipe the French crews as they leave them.
