NEWS FROM THE NANCHANG CONFERENCE
南昌会议的新闻
Amidst the celebrations of greater China throughout the cities, our scholars have spent long hours studying and debating the ideas of past and present China as they might apply to our nation's government. But it is not enough to be focused inwards. If we spend too long staring out our navels modernity will march on without us; and so it is time to
take the pulse of the world(听世界的心跳. As part of this stage of the conference we invite all distinguished foreign scholars of government and politics to speak to the conference, so that we may find the benefits in all systems for our new Republic.

However, we have no forgotten the greater foe. At this time we invite our brothers in the struggle in
Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangxi to sign the
Pact of Mutual Defence against Qing Aggression (攘满患条约, which reads as follows:
Whereas the Manchu tyrants have lost the Mandate of Heaven, and
Whereas their goals are to subjugate and destroy all free Chinese, and
Whereas they are aided in this goal by foreign weaponry donated by imperialists abroad, giving them an insurmountable advantage over any one Chinese power,
Be it therefore resolved that in the event of Qing aggression against any one among us, we the undersigned hereby pledge to resist such aggression with all forces available to us, and aid each other in such resistance, regardless of any previous or ongoing disputes.
Be it further resolved that the undersigned hold this pledge until such time as the Chinese Empire ceases to exist as an independent state.
Signed,
Li Sangui, Republic of China
We hope that our fellow Chinese powers will see the immediate need for this pact and agree accordingly.
打到丢天命的僭主!中华民国万岁!联合中华万岁!
Down with the illegitimate tyrants! Long live the Chinese Republic! Long live united China!
