“Our Party [the Guomindang] takes the development of the weak and small and resistance to the strong and violent as our sole and most urgent task.

Now the peoples [minzu] of Mongolia and Tibet are closely related to us, and we have great affection for one another: our common existence and common honor already have a history of over a thousand years…. Mongolia and Tibet's life and death are China's life and death.
