CSSC Monthly meeting bulletin highlighting part of Chiang Kai-shek’s speech about China’s war aims, June 7, 1943

Program in June 1943 highlighted part of Chiang Kai-shek’s speech about China’s war aims: “Among our friends there had been recently some talks of China emerging as the leader of Asia, as if China wished the mantle of an unworthy Japan to fall on her shoulders. Having herself been a victim of exploitation, China has infinite sympathy for the submerged nations of Asia, and toward them China feels she has only responsibilities--not rights.”
