Reorganized National Government of China
After the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out, Jiang escaped to Hong Kong. In 1939 he was invited by Wang Jingwei to take a position in Wang's Reorganized National Government of China based in Nanjing. Jiang accepted Wang's offer and traveled to Shanghai, where he wrote "The Shuangshijie Declaration about this Situation" (), asserting the establishment of a New East Asian Order. Jiang was appointed Chief of the Examination Yuan in March 1942.
