Abstract
The Chinghai (later Qinghai) Mission, 青海区会, was a component of the Northwest China Union Mission and encompassed all the territory in Qinghai province. It was largely inhabited by friendly nomadic Tibetans, and the road to Lhasa, capital of Tibet, led through their grazing lands and mountains. It was called Kokonor by the Tibetans and Chinghai by the Chinese. China had assumed control of Kokonor in accordance with its policy of expansion.
