How about some help with a WW2 Medal

Here is our best attempt to shed light on this medal.

Obverse of medal shows the face of Jiang Kai Shek flanked by Republic of China and Chinese Nationalist Party (Guo Min Dang) flags.

Reverse says:
'Revolutionary New Military Campaign'
'Made by Guan Shin LLC'

No date but it could be a medal received by the Vet for service in China against Japanese occupation. It could also have been given to him by a Chinese soldier who may have received it for service under General Jiang in the campaign against Communist insurgency or earlier against the warlords that threatened the early Republic. Someone with better knowledge of that era may be able to help. If I can get this to my father-in-law in Taiwan I could find out more. He served as a Brigadier General in the Republic of China Army under Jiang.
