抗日战争时期中英关系探究——以西藏地区为例

Exploration of the Sino-British Relations during the Anti-Japanese War:Taking Tibet as an Example

抗日战争时期,以蒋介石为首的国民政府将主要精力放在抗击日本侵略者上,英国殖民者趁中国政府无暇西顾,大肆侵占中国藏南地区领土,并通过各种手段削弱中国在西藏的影响力。由于英国政府的对华外交优势和对藏的地缘战略优势,西藏地方政府对英始终有所畏惧,使国民政府对藏关系发展受到明显影响。正是因为英国政府始终将其殖民地利益放在首位,暗中阻挠中印公路的修建,不仅阻碍了中国在藏主权的实施,也给世界反法西斯事业带来消极影响。面对英方的侵藏行径,中国政府为宣示对藏主权在多方面展开反击,有力地反驳了"辛亥革命后西藏已经独立"的谬论。

During the war of resistance against Japanese aggression,the National Government led by Chiang kai-shek focused on fighting against Japanese invaders.The British colonists occupied southern Tibet territory while the Chinese Government was busy with anti-Japanese war.The British also weakened China's influence in Tibet through various means during this time period.The Tibetan local government was fear of the British due to the British government's diplomatic advantage to China and geostrategic advantage to Tibet.Therefore,the national government was unable to develop relations with the local government of Tibet.It is precisely because the British government always put its colonial interests firstly and privately obstructed the construction of China-India road.Such obstacle not only hindered the implementation of China's sovereignty in Tibet,but also brought negative impacts on the world anti-fascist cause.In the face of the British invasion of Tibet,the Chinese government launched a counter-attack strategy to consolidate the Tibetan sovereignty in order to refute the fallacy of "Tibet has become independent after the Xinhai revolution of 1911" in many aspects.
