The goals of China's nationalist party are so clearly stated in this article. China had been under Manchu rule, was struggling with foreign influence from the Europeans and the Japanese. I know the nationalist party was ultimately defeated in the Communist Revolution, but I had to wonder, would the national identity of the surrounding countries, many of whom had previously been tributary states would their autonomy have been respected?
According to Jiang there are three fundamental principles/points
China should never act like Japan toward Korea, we should help them achieve self determination: This has happened so not a whole lot to explore there...
Frontier ethnic groups should be able to gain political independence, we should maintain no ill will as long as they make their desire for independence known...hmmmm any insight here?
Tibet will be given a large degree of autonomy and if they can fulfill the economic requirement for independence....What was their economic requirement for independence?
