ABSTRACT
Sino-soviet relations remained cordial and firm throughout the troublous time when China was at war with Japan. Soviet aid to China was very great, particularly at the outset of the Sino-Japanese conflict, when China was fighting alone. During the San Francisco Conference, the Chinese and Soviet delegates seemed to have many views in common, and T. V. Soong, Chinese Premier and Foreign Minister, did not deny the current rumour that he meant to visit Moscow immediately after the conference. The Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance was signed by Molotov and Wang Shih-chieh representing their respective countries in the Kremlin on August 14, 1945. The Yalta Secret Treaty was made public only ten days after an agreement reached by the Political Consultative Conference on January 31, 1946, in Chungking representing various parties.
