Did Pu Yi go to Manchukuo wrong?

When I watched the last emperor, I was thinking, Puyi went to Manchukuo in 31 years, as far as that person is concerned, it was right or wrong.
From the perspective of historical trends and social progress, he is wrong, but he cannot see the trend.
From the point of view of political power, your Republic of China expelled me to step down, but I can't fight. You humiliated my ancestors who went down to earth. Is it wrong for me to use foreign forces to come to power again?
The Kuomintang bullied me, and I was right to go to the Soviet Union. It was right for Japan to beat me to exchange territory for the Soviet Union to send troops. When my family struggles, must I not be shameful? Puyi was wrong, but he just misunderstood Japan, the mistake was his political naivety, the mistake was that he had been in the palace for a long time, and he knew too little.
ps: Let me explain, if he realized at that time that the Japanese were worse than the Nationalist government, and he went to Manchukuo, then I spurned him, then he was not naive, but evil.
But it is wrong to say that it is right for us to fight within our own country and to seek foreigners. I don't agree with this point of view

The Last Emperor quotes

  • Pu Yi, at 15: Is it true, Mr. Johnston, that many people out there have had their heads cut off?

    Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: It is true, your majesty. Many heads have been chopped off. It does stop them thinking.

  • Reginald Fleming 'R.J.' Johnston: The Emperor has been a prisoner in his own palace since the day that he was crowned, and has remained a prisoner since he abdicated. But now he's growing up, he may wonder why he's the only person in China who may not walk out of his own front door. I think the Emperor is the loneliest boy on Earth.
