This chapter examines why and how Japan initially intended to cooperate partially with the League even after it declared to withdraw from the organization. In the meantime, China started to require its status to be upgraded. It had aspired to improve its international status since the 1920s. Taking advantage of Japan’s withdrawal, it argued that East Asia was not represented sufficiently in the League’s Council. The authority of Japan declined drastically after the Manchurian Crisis, while that of China rose. |
