Sand Pebbles shows a scene where the captain is giving a speech to his crew saying the rebels are trying to get us to attack them so the nationalists can use it as an excuse to rid China of the Americans. And the commmunists are trying to get the Americans to attack them so they can use it as an excuse to take over China.
Worth watching for the zeitgeist of a Naval captain similar to Jack Kennedy giving a speech that contains Kennedy's progressive foreign policy beliefs vs the old colonial guard issues being shown in Sand Pebbles. ​The movie was from 1966.
