General Hsu Yung-chang represented China at Japan's 1945 surrender ceremony.
Hsu Yung-chang signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on behalf of China after Chester Nimitz signed for the United States. China had fought Japan for years before the wider Pacific War, beginning with the full-scale Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937.
The Chinese representative was one of eight Allied signatories who followed MacArthur and Nimitz. The other participating Allied nations were the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.
The surrender ceremony on USS Missouri was separate from later regional ceremonies. Japan also signed a surrender instrument with Chinese forces in Nanjing on September 9, 1945, but Hsu's signature at Tokyo Bay represented China in the principal Allied ceremony.
