WW2 is happening, Japan attacks French Indochina, After this attack, Japan blocks American and British supplies to Taiwan, so this means that Taiwan would starve without food and supplies, this increases the tension of WW2 for the Chinese, the entire Chinese people are starving after Japan's attack.

"I'm weak and hungry... every day I get weaker." Taiwan speaks in a weak tone, Taiwan had gone days without eating because of the supply blockage, so he is going days without eating just because of the supply blockage, Taiwan is very weak without energy and food, the supplies were the more important things for the Chinese but now Taiwan is without supplies, now without food Taiwan is very hungry.
