Abstract
On 30 October 1943, the governments of the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain and China signed a joint declaration in Moscow. This document, known as the Moscow Declaration, was an agreement between the four nations to provide a framework for close collaboration and co-operation during the war, and a commitment to safeguard peace and security in the post-war years. Signed 101 years after the Treaty of Nanking, the Moscow Declaration catapulted China’s world standing to Big Four status and sealed her position as a participating member with full powers of veto in the forthcoming organization of the United Nations. As China’s highest-ranking representative in Moscow, Fu was China’s signatory.
