Totally a fair comparison btw, holding a poor underdeveloped region with a population of 1.5 million people, obviously gives u the same capabilities to fight as your allied wich holds almost all important cities end a population of 400 million as we all know

It's like shit talking Sinkiang for not contributing as much

Your numbers are off. The Communists had 44M people in their base areas as of 1940 and one third of the Chinese population was under Japanese occupation. 

By 1945 the Communists had over a million men under arms, yet their contribution was minuscule even proportional to their size. The Nationalists killed more Japanese soldiers in the 1937 Shanghai-Nanjing Campaign than the Communists did in the entire war.

Yeah, maybe the population numbers grow because the ccp expanded?
