Chiang Kai-Shek was able to collect information about the Yalta Conference through personal diplomatic sources and through this process, was deeply disappointed at the United States. Chiang Kai-Shek specially brought Dairen and Port Arthur into discussion with Roosevelt in Cairo. He suggested constructing a freeport in Dairen and functioning Port Arthur as a military base for both China and the United States, intending to strengthen the United States’ assistance.
