中美協力 打倒暴日 建設和平 [China-America Cooperation: Overthrow Brutal Japan, Build Peace], 1942 US poster: A tall Chinese-language

中美協力 打倒暴日 建設和平 [China-America Cooperation: Overthrow Brutal Japan, Build Peace]

A tall Chinese-language strip stacks the Chinese sun flag, portraits of two leaders and a US flag around three slogans. The flags and portraits lend national symbols to the alliance (transfer), 'brutal Japan' is a loaded label for the enemy (name-calling), and 'peace' is left undefined (glittering generality).
