Criticism



The distributors issued four posters, Mao Zedong, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin. Chinese internet users have questioned the move of featuring Mao, instead of Chiang Kai-shek, Generalissimo of the Republic of China, in the poster, since Chiang was present at the Cairo Conference, but Mao was not.
