Younghusband of Cominganarchy.com emailed me a link to this fantastic WW2 era comic book format guide to distinguishing evil conniving Japs from friendly smiling Chinese. It was originally just one chapter of a larger Pocket Guide to China, the remainder of which is sadly not preserved. As a bonus though, you can try and figure out how these odd spellings of Chinese words are actually supposed to make the sounds that they are supposed to make.

It probably contains the same ‘information’ as the Life Magazine article “How to tell Japs from the Chinese”
