It is also the view of Dr. Sun that one of the greatest dangers in the past to the political independence and territorial integrity of China has been removed with the rise of Soviet Russia. And as long as the Soviet Government continues true and Joyal to its non-imperialistic policy, a Republican China has nothing to fear from Russia.
"Dr. Sun's considered view is that China, at the present stage of her modernization, stands in great need of assistance from Powers who would treat and deal with her as an equal and a full-sovereign state. He believes that Germany and Russia are now so circumstanced and' governed that China could treat with them ea terms of equality. He is, therefore, in favour of a policy looking towards a closer rapprochement with those two Powers, He does not [consider such a policy would militate against the _egitimate interests of any Power that desires strong and united China. Av any rate it is a policy which would serve the best interests of a nonmonarchical and non-reactionary China. That is the dominating consideration which inspires him. He might be dubbed pro-German or pro-Bolshevik. Those epithets of hate and revenge have no terrors for him, though they have unfortunately deterred many from doing their duty as sane and real lovers of their country and of their fellow men.
