Re: A Chinese civic group is demanding that Japanese Emperor Akihito return plundered
the Chinese should demand an explanation from their Chinese Communist Party about their wartime collusion with the Japanese then. what is the full extent of that collusion ?
「日本都甲大佐說,清鄉的目的是為了強化治安。日本方面目前最關心的是津浦線南段的運輸安全。只要新四軍不破壞這一段的鐵路交通,日方則希望和新四軍有一個緩衛地帶。潘漢年說,新四軍的發展很快,目前正在穩步地鞏固和擴大農村根據地,也無意立即佔領鐵路交通線和其他交通據點。日軍要給新四軍一定生存條件,否則游擊隊就會隨時破壞鐵路交通的。」《潘汉年的情报生涯》,人民出版社1996年9月版,161页,ISBN 9787010025087。

it seems that the New Fourth Army and the Japanese had reached a tacit collusion on their war strategies.
the non-aggression agreement wasn't all of it. they even joined forces to attack the Chinese Nationalist troops.
In summer, 1943, when the National Army was surrounded and outnumbered by the Japanese on three sides and surrounded by the Communists on the fourth side in the Taihang Mountains, the result was the capture of two generals. The Communists united with the Japanese in destroying the Twenty-seventh Army of the National forces and ambushed and wiped them out at three places, Pingshun, Kaoping, and Kuhsien, on July 8, 1943, according to the official telegram of General Chiang Ting-wen. After several such clashes had taken place, a government official told the facts to a foreign correspondent, but the story was then banned by the Kuomintang censors themselves. I was in New York then, and I could not understand the capture of these two famous generals, until I went to Chungking and heard the full story.

1945年8月18日
我无意中看到了一份新四军总部的来电。这份总部的报告,完全清楚地证实了,中共领导和日本派遣军最高司令部之间,长期保持着联系。
电报无疑还表明,与日军司令部联系的有关报告,是定期送到延安来的。
后来我证实,中共军队和日军的参谋机构之间的联系,已保持很长时间了。联系的两头是延安和南京。
1945年8月21日
叶剑英告诉毛泽东,我已经知道了新四军总部发来电报的内容。中共中央主席跟我解释了好久,说明共产党领导人为什么决定要与日本占领军司令部建立联系。
这是一件可耻的事情,因此毛泽东想为他的解释提出有说服力的论据。
谈话表明了所有这一切做法是如何不体面。与日本司令部的关系早已在极端保密的情况下建立了,中共领导中只有几个人知道此事。毛的一个代理人(或像毛所称呼的“联络员”),可以说是一直隶属于南京的冈村宁次大将总部的。什么时候有需要,他都可以在日本反间谍机构的严密保护之下,畅通无阻地往返于南京和新四军总部之间。
中共中央主席发出的必要的情报,留在新四军总部,等着这个代理人(他原籍日本)。这个代理人的情报,在新四军总部总是很快就译成密码,发往延安。
The Vladimirov Diaries by Peter Vladimirov
during the war, this Soviet diplomat Peter Vladimirov had this suspicion that the Chinese Communists and the Japanese were acting in collusion. he found evidence of it right after the end of the war. he said the Chinese Communists did a very shameful thing.
