Summary

Description
English: Wang Jingwei (1883-1944), a prominent and controversial Chinese political figure, is seen toasting with Georg Heinrich Stahmer, German ambassador to China (right), and Francesco Maria Taliani de Marchio, Italian ambassador to China (left), in January 1942. On the wall behind, the national flags of the Republic of China (a red field with a blue canton containing a 12-ray white sun) and Nazi Germany (a black swastika in a white disc on a red background) are displayed. Wang Jingwei always carried the flag of the Republic of China and claimed to be the legitimate government.
  • Initially a close associate of Sun Yat-sen and an important leader within the Kuomintang (KMT), Wang's legacy became highly contentious after he established a puppet government in Nanjing under Japanese control during the Second Sino-Japanese War. His collaboration with the Japanese invaders was seen by many as a betrayal of the nationalist cause. This photo captures a moment from his tenure as the head of this puppet regime, highlighting his interactions with Axis powers during World War II.
  • Heinrich Georg Stahmer(1892 – 1978) was a German diplomat and economist. He managed German-Japanese relations, served as an aide to Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, and was the German Ambassador to Japan (1943-1945).
