The terms of lifting the embargo explicitly called for Japan to stop genociding China. That's what it said, and it's what I said.
Ascribing a motive to that is certainly your right, but I'd be interested to see how "stop genociding China" ties into US interest in the Philippines. Since you ascribed the motive, I'd be interested to see how you think it ties in.
