THE CASE FOR CHINA
ISSUES IN THE FAR EAST. “The object of China’s armed resistance is to safeguard her national existence and maintain the sanctity of international treaties. Though her desire for peace remains unchanged, China cannot tolerate any encroachment by any country upon her sovereign rights and her territorial and administrative integrity, which are essential attributes of her independent status, and which all interested Powers, by solemn treaty, pledge themselves to respect. In whatever circumstances, the Chinese Government will exert its utmost power to maintain the sovereign rights and territorial and administrative intety rity of China. Any terms for the restoration of peace, if they do not conform to this fundamental principle, are necessarily unacceptable to China. All acts of such unlawful organisa tions as may be set up in areas under Japanese military occupation will be considered null and void, both internally and externally by the Chinese Government.” —The official statement of the Chinese Government.
