720. Sun Fo, President of the Legislative Yuan, in a speech on June 5 predicted that after the war “Indochina, Burma and India will regain their sovereignty” and Wu Te-chen, Secretary General of the Kuomintang, in a speech on June 12 several times declared that after the war Burma shall be free. These declarations are representative of Chinese tendency to consider that China shall be the leader of Asiatic peoples.
