the Portugese came off second best after us with Goa, which remained neutral throughout WW2.
Here comes a piece of useless information. Macau, the Portugese territory rented from the Chinese was just over the Pearl River from Hong Kong. The Japanese respected the authority of a neutral power and stopped at the gates of Macau. Some one million Chinese refugees were looked after by a comparatlvely small Portugese population until 1945.
Not a lot of people know about that.
