Shanghai, Dec. 28.
Chinese forces are now busily preparing a grand counter-offensive which will be launched in a month or so, according to Chinese official quarters. It is claimed that the morale of the Chinese troops has been restored by the arrival of reinforcements and new equipment.
Much speculation has been aroused by the report that Mr. Sun Fo, son of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, is now en route to Moscow to represent the Chinese Government in negotiations with the Soviets.
A number of important changes in personnel, both politically and militarily, were made recently, with the avowed object of ensuring greater efficiency in Chinese military operations.
