ABSTRACT
The Khabarovsk Convention opened the way for a formal Sino-Soviet Conference, to which the Nationalist Government intimated its readiness to send plenipotentiaries. The Soviet Government appointed Karakhan plenipotentiary to the conference. After numerous meeting and conversations, the conference was to be started on October 11, 1930. In 1932 the Chinese Government realized that the Sino-Japanese question had reached a deadlock. The Chinese Government’s faith and hope in the League of Nations was very much shaken. The Soviet Union wished to resume relations with countries bordering on the Pacific in order that she might be able to deal with Far Eastern problems. China and the Soviet Union had for a long period maintained good-neighbour relations. Both China and the Soviet Union could fundamentally change and improve their respective traditional policies.
