With the severance of the Burma Road by Japan, the United Nations sought new methods of bringing supplies into China. Late in June 1942 it was understood that the British and Chinese governments had made representations in Lhasa, capital of Tibet, concerning the development of pack transport routes through that country as a link between China and India.
In Sikiang, a far western Chinese province, The People's Daily, first Tibetan newspaper to be published in China, appeared on Feb. 3. It was edited by the secretary of the former Panchen Lama with the assistance of Tibetans from Sikiang, Tibet and Nepal. The object was to develop closer understanding between Tibetans and Chinese.
