On July 2, 1914, the British representatives attending the Simmara Conference notified the Chinese representatives of the following day of the signing. The British representatives repeated the previous threat: ¡°If not signed, China will lose all rights in Tibet, or similar documents, the Chinese government can not recognize.¡± On July 3, the British representatives could only sign the Simmara Treaty with the ¡°Tibetan representatives¡± on their own. The treaty was basically the same as the ¡°suspension proposal¡± put forward by the British representatives on March 11, ¡°as long as the British government could not say that China¡¯s promise to be a Chinese signature, or a similar document, could not be recognized by the Chinese government.¡± On June 6, the Chinese government was difficult to comment on the British Ambassador¡¯s Book of Duchy in Washington, and through the Chinese Embassy in Wales
