<br/><br/> "Once sidelined from public memory, World War II is now a historical touchstone in China. Rana Mitter links the reassessment of the war to China's rising nationalism. At home, Chinese use the war to shape conflicted identities; abroad the war with Japan is now treated as a Chinese victory, a founding myth for a people destined to shape the global order".
