[316] Quietly establish diplomatic relations

Truman was in the White House at this time, discussing with Acheson how to establish diplomatic relations with China.

Acheson took a sharp puff on his cigar, puffed the smoke and said, "Harry, I don't think there should be any further delay in allowing the new Chinese government to inherit the diplomatic status of the previous government. Seats in international organizations, the idea that they must establish diplomatic relations with the United States as a new country at this time is absurd."

Truman nodded helplessly and said: "Although I agree with you, the McCarthy gang in Congress don't think so. They insist that this China is not that China, and they oppose handling it in the way that diplomatic relations have already been established. They have a very tough attitude. Besides The most important thing is that there is also the US$10 billion foreign debt owed by the Chiang government in the civil war. He inherited the diplomatic status of the Chiang regime."

Acheson raised his voice and said: "I am the Secretary of State! Foreign affairs cannot listen to the nonsense of McCarthy and his gang. Now is a good time to win over China. The Chinese government is obviously more inclined towards a nationalist government than a communist government. .This distinction is so important! We must seize the moment and not let a permanent member of the Security Council that can be wooed continue to slide to Moscow! Harry, you are the president, you don't care what those guys say. As far as I know, many in the Republican Party Everyone agrees that the current situation has affected US trade! Joseph McCarthy does not speak for all Republicans."

Acheson cleared his throat, and continued: "A billion-dollar loan is indeed a lot, but it is a joint lending of the interests of the bank syndicates of various countries. It can be earned back quickly, but if we continue to push the Chinese to the side of Moscow, then the billion dollars will really become a stone thrown into the water! Besides, these consortiums have always been from China The trade benefits obtained have already been hundreds of times the billion-dollar loan, so what can they complain about!"

Truman said: "Last week, Republican Senator Lassana and his supporters demanded the establishment of diplomatic relations with China. This is probably because the Chinese produced new anti-tuberculosis drugs? The drug dealer behind Lassana probably couldn't sit still."

Acheson said: "Yes, it is preliminarily estimated that if the new anti-tuberculosis drug produced by China's genius invention can be fully represented by the four major pharmaceutical sales groups behind Senator Lasana, they will monopolize the distribution channels and represent these medicines every year. The net profit generated by the drug can reach [-] million US dollars! This is not just a problem of new drugs. The Chinese ambassador Qiao has now stated that the Chinese government is willing to recognize US patents! And is drafting a patent law and establishing an intellectual property office! From this point on You can see that they are different from the Soviets! You know, those sons of bitches in Moscow don't even recognize patent rights!"

Truman said: "I've also heard about this. In this way, if Chinese products enter the United States, if they involve patents, we can draw bonuses. There is a lot of money in it!"

Acheson said: "Harry, you are right. If China wants to complete industrialization, it will definitely not be able to bypass the patents of the United States. In this way, what they can export is only the current streptomycin, or the future they may invent. There are also a small number of other products with their own patents, and some raw materials such as bristles and coal. It is impossible for them to export machinery or other slightly more complicated and expensive equipment! American products can easily return to China!

Harry, almost nothing can be produced in China now. They are eager to industrialize, and the market is astonishingly large!American steel, machinery, power generation equipment, and even various light industrial products are all the most sought-after goods.I bet that even if the Chinese adopt the Czech-style central procurement and import method, as long as they don’t boycott American goods, we can earn back the billion dollars within three years!Even if they can control the procurement of state-owned enterprises, so many private small business owners will not let go of the opportunity to make money from American goods! "

Truman said longingly: "Since China has joined Gatt, he should not be able to impose restrictions on American goods. American goods will be as unimpeded as in the Czech Republic! We have been instilling free market and economic reform ideas in the Czech Republic since the war So much so that even Moscow warned that the spring in Prague smelled of capitalist liberalism. Haha, I think, as another gatt party in the socialist camp, China will soon be able to There's this taste of freedom."

Acheson said with a smile: "Our attempts in Prague will eventually bear fruit. Maybe ten years, maybe 20 years. The Czech Republic is a window for us in Europe to output different voices to Moscow's orders. Now China has returned to Gatt's round table Come up, I think the same will be the case in the future. China may become a window for us in Asia to communism. With these two windows opened on the socialist camp, especially the huge China, we may even can influence the way Moscow thinks."

Truman finally made up his mind, and said: "That's it, Dean, this matter is left to you, and now this matter must be carried out quietly. First, hold a press conference and simply announce that the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States is a postponement of the Chinese regime." Inheriting the diplomatic status of the nature, and then going to Beijing to restore the establishment of an embassy according to the way we established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union."

Acheson said with satisfaction: "Yes, Mr. President."

…………

After communication with the Chinese embassy, ​​three days later, the Washington Post published the news that China and the United States had resumed diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level. It has been 1913 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 37.It's just that China today is no longer that ignorant and backward semi-feudal and semi-colonial primitive continent. After the people became the masters of the country, everything has changed.

At this time, Xiaoqiang is following Mr. Chen after visiting the newly established children's welfare home in Puhai.At this time, there were often abandoned babies on the streets of Puhai. The people's government then took over the nursery halls that were originally run by social relief and expanded them into children's welfare homes. The government funded these children to grow up.

When Xiaoqiang came out of the orphanage, he saw a newspaper boy with a newspaper bag hanging around his neck struggling to sell it, so he quickly bought a copy for four cents.I was very surprised to see the news that China and the United States resumed diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level published in the People's Daily.

"Mr. Chen, China and the United States have resumed diplomatic relations! The speed of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is really fast enough."

"Oh, what's so great about this, diplomacy, compare fists, compare wallets, if you can't compare with others, then there is nothing to say, so I have to shut up and just sit." Boss Chen smiled.

Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Yes, imperialism these days is too honest, and the carrot-and-stick policy is too naked. They don't even pay attention to some tricks. We must be careful in the future. In my opinion, the days when the United States will sanction us It is indispensable."

Boss Chen took the newspaper and glanced at it and said, "If there are worms in the rice, don't you eat? Be careful, Xiaoqiang, you are good at everything, but you are a little timid. We Chinese do things, and we have to ask him the United States. People can't report it."

Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "I'm afraid that it will affect our exports to the United States in the future."

"The little guy is just worrying about nothing. Without Butcher Chen, he'll just eat hairless pigs."

As he said that, Boss Chen got into the car and continued to flip through the newspaper that Xiaoqiang asked the guards to buy: "...I haven't had time to look through the newspaper today, let me have a look... The central government promulgated the "Regulations on the Organization of Urban Sub-district Offices" ", "Regulations on Household Registration", um, this article was received last month... also promulgated the draft "Nationality Law", "Regulations on Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities", "Regulations on Consular Privileges and Immunities", "Concluding Treaties" The draft of the Procedural Law, these documents were obtained last month, not new... the draft of the Drug Administration Law, the draft of the Compulsory Education Law, the draft of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, the draft of the Archives Law, the draft of the Customs Draft Law... Alas, the newspapers have been publishing various drafts of new laws recently, but the cadres are all busy with industrial construction, and there is no time for large-scale organization and study. Now only a small number of cadres can be organized. Study. Fortunately, there are newspapers that publish legal education all day long, otherwise I really don’t know how many laws will be published in the future, how can I learn this.”

Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Don't rush, take your time. The laws and regulations are all clear. Anyone who is not illiterate can understand it. This is much easier than engaging in industrial construction. The cadres are not professionals, so there is no need to study It is too deep, and it is enough to know that there is such a law, but it is a little troublesome in terms of organizational construction, and there are many more institutions to set up."

"What! You lost!" Boss Chen suddenly said in surprise.

Xiaoqiang was taken aback, cooperating with you, the old man didn't hear what I said.

"What did you lose? Mr. Chen, what did you say you lost?"

Boss Chen blushed angrily and said, "Look! This news!"

Xiaoqiang stared intently at the international news bulletin column on the fourth page of the People's Daily, a few lines of small words that looked like dried tofu:

"According to reliable sources, the Vietnamese People's Army guerrillas were killed by about 70 French troops the day before yesterday after they captured Dongxi, an important stronghold guarded by 200 French colonial troops and 50 puppet troops between Cao Binh and Lang Son, after paying heavy casualties. The airborne paratroopers cooperated with the ground forces in the surprise attack, and Dongxi fell. According to reliable sources, the French army rearranged about one company of elite troops of the Foreign Legion in Dongxi. The French colonial army, as well as the 300 French reinforcements from Lang Son, chose to temporarily retreat and regroup."

Xiaoqiang was also dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "Shooting Dongxi with 270 people will pay a heavy price of casualties! 50 paratroopers parachuted and kicked out the Vietnamese? One company of the French army defended Dongxi." ? Cowardly in the face of 500 reinforcements? My god! What the hell is this!"
