Since 1927,the Nationalist Government that paid attention to the Tibetan affairs found the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs commission which took charge of the Tibetan affairs. Meantime, Tibetan local government watched the political development in inland China. All parties of Tibet tried to probe the attitude of The Nationalist Government to Tibet and their political parties.Luosangbasang, the representative of The 13th Dalai Lama, met with Jiang Jieshi in Nanjing.After that, The Nationalist Government took some active movement and asked for dkon-mchog-gronyin, Liu Manqing and Xie Guoliang respectively to Tibet. They all transmitted a information that the central government wanted to work together with Tibet to solve the Tibetan affairs. There were some different idea between the central government and Tibetan local government, but The 13th Dalai Lama, the highest leader of politic and religion in Tibet, respected the central government and did not separate Tibet from China. Since then, Tibetan affairs began to go smoothly. However, in Dec 1933, The 13th Dalai Lama suddenly died.The paper regarded the years-from 1934 to 1940-as a special period when there was no Dalai Lama.After the death of The 13th Dalai Lama, the political situation was not stable. For their interests, some parties in Tibet relied on Great Britain's power against The nationalist government.Confronted with the situation in Tibet, The Nationalist Government appointed Huang Musong special envoy to Tibet to homage on the demise of The 13th Dalai. Huang presided over the ceremony of conferning upon The 13th Dalai. After then, Huang held a mourning ceremony for The 13th Dalai. During his stay in Tibet, Huang Musong held many talks with the local government on the relation between the central government and Tibetan local government. The Kashang considered Tibet as a part of the Republic of China. Before the return of Huang Musong, some officals of his mission were left to continue talking with The Kashang. The Huang's visit laid a foundation for the recovery of the relation between the central government and Tibetan local government. Though Tibetan affairs went smoothly, the road was not even.Some parties in Tibet which did not permit the central government force into Tibet to damage their interests obstructed the 9th Panchan's return. The 9th Panchan eventually died in Yushu of Qinghai. There was no royal road to recover the tie between the central government and Tibetan local government.Rezheng regent insisted on the policy of recovery the tie made by The 13th Dalai Lama. From 1939 to 1940, under the supports which was from the parties relying on the central power and the effort of The Nationalist Government, Wu Zhongxin,the chairman of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs commission, presided over the ceremony of the 14th Dalai Lama's enthronement and set up the office of the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs commission in Tibet. Those illustrate that the Republic of China enjoyed full sovereignty over Tibet. The Nationalist Government made a great contribution to the recovery of the relation between the central government and Tibetan local government.
