The Republic of China National Government's Declaration of War Against Japan

The Japanese military clique has long made it its national policy to conquer Asia and monopolize the Pacific. For several years, China has persisted in its War of Resistance, regardless of all sacrifices. The objective is not only to defend China's independent survival, but truly to break Japan's aggressive ambitions and uphold international law, justice, human welfare, and world peace, as the Chinese government has repeatedly stated.
