This memorandum was graciously supplied by Dr. Wang Ch’ung-hui.
1 Outline of China’s Foreign Policy
Since the establishment of the National Government, China’s foreign policy has been elucidated from time to time. Following the outbreak of the war, the Extraordinary Session of the Kuomintang National Congress convened in 1938 laid down five principles:
“1. China is prepared to ally herself with all states and nations that sympathize with her and to wage a common struggle for peace and justice.
“2. China is prepared to safeguard and strengthen the machinery of peace as well as all treaties and conventions that have the maintenance of peace as their ultimate object.
“3. China is prepared to ally herself with all forces that are opposed to Japanese aggression and to safeguard peace in the Far East.
“4. China will endeavor not only to preserve but also to enhance the existing friendly relations with other countries.
“5. China repudiates all bogus organizations which Japan has created and declares all their actions null and void.”
