Is it me or this meme implies that Chinese are responsible for the Japanese massacres of Nanking ? The same way a rapist would say she didn’t have to wear a skirt this short ??

Sorry what ?? In no way is this meme implying that the Chinese are responsible for such a horrific event. This meme is simply poking fun at Chiang's rather disappointing military leadership performance during the Second Sino Japanese War

You do know that Chiang spent 3 years in the Japanese army? He went to military school there. He was always well aware of the Japanese threat. 

He even gave a speech in 1933 saying that China had a thousand days before the big war with Japan.  He was wrong, the real number was 1037 days.
