Well, obviously. I just mean with adopting a Meiji-style consitution and speeding up the process of industrialization and modernization by a bit. China's too big and has too large of a population to go fully Meiji.

Yes, I do realize that Tibet and Mongolia were parts of China previous to 1912, but I also know that Mongolia and Tibet attempted succesfully to gain independence.

If Mongolia doesn't experience Communist revolution, or somehow defeat it, would it be possible to do sometime, particularily before the formation of the USSR?

What I'm really asking if the Second Sino-Japanese War is avoided, at least until China's in a good enough position to take them on, say when Japan's grip across the Pacific and Indochina is lessened.
