It was similar to the "Five Races Under One Union" (Chinese: 五族共和) motto used by the Republic of China, for the Han, Manchus, Hui, Mongols and Tibetans, but the third of the four Chinese characters was changed from Togetherness (共) to Cooperation (協). Both mottoes were pronounced the same "Go zoku kyōwa" in Japanese. This motto was symbolized in the national flag of Manchukuo, as the yellow base color (Manchus) with four striped colors in the upper left corner: red (Japanese), blue (Han Chinese), white (Mongols) and black (Koreans).[1] Gallery Manchuria Aviation Company roundel, 1931–1945 War ensign of Manchukuo, 1932–1945 Manchukuo Army insignia, 1932–1945 Manchukuo Air Force roundel, 1937–1945 Central Bank of Manchou 1 yuan banknote, 1932 Commemorative stamp propagating the "Concord of Nationalities" "With the cooperation of Japan, China, and Manchukuo the world can be in peace," 1935 South Chahar Autonomous Government propaganda, c. 1937–1939 References ^ Flags of Manchukuo and the Republic of China
