"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.

Mongolia and Tibets life and death are Chinas life and death. China absolutely cannot cause Mongolia and Tibet to break away from Chinas territory, and Mongolia and Tibet cannot reject China to become independent. At this time, there is not a single nation on earth execept China that will sincerely develop Mongolia and Tibet."
