She secured her own reward in the removal of a danger that was always to be apprehended from the proximity to her shores of a great naval and military Power like Germany. From China's own point of view, at the time, she would as soon put up with a German occupation of Kinochau as a Japanese occupation.

Now that the war is officially at an end, China expects the territory and the rights and interests Germany acquired there to be given back to herself by the Allied Powers as freely and as completely us Belgium was given back to the Belgians when the invader was driven from Belgian soil.
