It is inappropriate and irritating that The National Anthem of The People's Republic of China (PRC) was used for this movie as the PRC was not even in existence at the time this so-called The Battle of China was fought. The use of the PRC National Anthem making the impression that the merits of fighting this war against the Japanese with the price of thousands of thousands of Chinese lives belonged to the PRC is totally wrong and disrespectful to the The Republic of China (ROC) government now in Taiwan.
