What was one reason that china lost the sino-japanese war?

Here are some reasons take your pick. Good luck! :)

Japan had modernized weapons

Corruption of the Chinese government-officials embezzled military funds.

Chinese army and navy had little preparation for the war

Japan had better war tactics and strategies

Chinese just finished the War of Opium and were weak

The majority of China’s massive population was not educated

Japan had better strategies and were technologically more advanced. China during that time, had also just gotten out of the war with the British and were weak

all of them are correct

the two major parties acting together and cooperating when making decisions is bipartisan
