durant la seconde guerre mondiale, et pour contrer l’expansionniste indien et anglais
(ligne Mac Mahon, guerre de l’opium, Traités inégaux), également pour punir le Dalai Lama
de son alliance avec le Japon (in QingYongZhang A secret story of Japan coveting Tibet), le
Président Roosevelt a promis à Tchang Kai Tchek que le Tibet resterait dans le giron chinois
et ne serait jamais reconnu comme Etat par les USA (in Telegrams sent by Soong Tes-ven,
foreign minister of the Republic of China (ROC) during World War II, showed that
Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt reached a
consensus that Tibet was part of China’s territory. The collection, compiled by professor Wu
Jingping from the Shanghai-based Fudan University and Kuo Tai-chun, research fellow at
the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, included telegrams sent in 1943, when Soong
reported to Chiang the results of his discussion with British Prime Minister Winston S.
Churchill over the Tibet issue at a Pacific Council meeting in Washington DC. In one of the
telegrams, written in Chinese, Soong reported a dialogue between Roosevelt and Churchill.
"Roosevelt said, ’I asked Churchill why did he mention Tibet at all, and he replied that Britain
had no intention to occupy the region. I then said that Tibet had been part of China since
imperial times and it is now part of the Republic of China, which had nothing to do with
Britain.’").
