After the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued the "Tianyu Statement," it immediately aroused a strong backlash from the European and American powers, and they identified the statement as the embodiment of the "Monroe Doctrine of Asia."

The British and American governments raised their statements of grave protest to Japan, opposing Japan's violation of international law and attempting to monopolize the Far East, and demanded that the principles of "open door," "equal opportunities," and "equal interests" continue to be practiced in China.

To put it figuratively, there were originally several robbers who rushed into the village, taking and robbing property, and arrogantly. Now suddenly a robber announces that this village is mine, and you are not allowed to stretch out your hand again, how can the other robbers be willing?

As a result, Japan was isolated in the international community by Britain, the United States, France, and the Soviet Union, and the only option left was to form an alliance with Germany, because Germany's special interests in Asia had long been lost, and no matter how crazy Japan was, it was none of Germany's business.

The "Tianyu Statement" is like poking a hornet's nest, and there are even rumors that the United States is going to cut off Japan's steel and oil supplies. The Japanese government immediately relented, and hurriedly issued the "Second Tenyu Statement" three days after the "First Heavenly Feather Statement" was issued.

The "Second Tianyu Statement" emphasized that Japan does not hinder the interests of third countries, and also hopes that European and American countries will trade with China and promote China's prosperity, and China's prosperity is welcomed by Japan, and Japan's China policy is still based on the principle of opening the door. In addition, Japan also issued a supplementary statement, declaring that it hoped that European and American countries would treat "Manchukuo" fairly and freely, and that "the use of the policies of the Great Powers and the League of Nations to bully China" was an act of disrupting peace in East Asia.

Zhou Hexuan originally wrote a review article, but when he saw the content of the "Second Tianyu Statement", he was so angry that he immediately scrapped the previous article and wrote a new one.

It was clear that Japan had illegally invaded and occupied Northeast China, and the Nanking government had sought the support of the Great Powers and the League of Nations. When it comes to Japan's statement, it has become "the great powers or the League of Nations using their policies to overpower China", which is powerful enough to reverse black and white.

This statement is really too big and completely exposes Japan's ambition to monopolize all of China. Not only has it aroused a fierce reaction from the people of the whole country and all political parties, but even the Nanjing government, which has been pretending to be cowardly, cannot sit still.

After the issuance of the "Second Tianyu Statement," the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs sternly refuted this absurd fallacy, holding that no country can arbitrarily arbitrarily affect the legitimate rights and obligations of other countries without the consent of the countries concerned.

Taizu of our party also wrote an article pointing out: "[The Tianyu Statement] is the most obvious expression of the Japanese imperialists' attempt to forcibly occupy the whole of China. ”

……

On April 22, Yu Peichen got Zhou Hexuan's revised article, which she read while sitting on the tram, titled: "Tianyu Statement: A Turning Point in International Relations in the Far East."

The text reads as follows:

"Recently, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued two statements, which are called the 'Tianyu Statement', and I think it should be called the 'Japan's Monopoly on China'......

There is no doubt that Japan's issuance of the 'Tenha Statement' at this time is very foolish, and will only make it more isolated in international diplomacy. But why should Japan risk the world's condemnation? Let's start by analyzing why.

As a result of the global economic crisis, Japan's total industrial output fell by 33% between 1929 and 1931, and continued to decline year-on-year in the following years. In order to extricate itself from the crisis, the Japanese Government had no choice but to step up the militarization of the national economy, expand military expenditures and orders, and at the same time vigorously develop military-related industrial products, thus making Japanese society even more militaristic......

Due to the League of Nations, represented by the European and American powers, and its constant connivance at Japan's aggressive acts, the Japanese people's appetite grew bigger and bigger, and they finally provoked the 128 Incident that shocked the world. Shanghai is the city with the heaviest investment in China from Europe and the United States, with 80% of British investment in China, 60% of the United States, 90% of France, and 70% of Italy...... All in Shanghai. Japan's attack on Shanghai directly violated the huge interests of Britain and the United States and other countries, so Britain and the United States and other countries expressed a tough attitude towards the Battle of Songhu, and most of the troops of the Western powers in the Far East were sent to Shanghai at that time, ready to intervene in the Shanghai War at any time.

The British newspaper "The Observer" said in one sentence: "We forgive Japan for its actions in Manchuria, but ...... An arbitrary attack on Shanghai, where all international interests converge, is another issue. ’

But there are limits to the intervention of the great powers, and today appeasement is prevalent in Europe, and the United States pursues a policy of isolation. The rulers of these countries did not dare to go to war rashly in order to win popular support, and it was precisely because Japan saw this that it dared to invade Rehe and Chahar.

Although Britain and the United States were reluctant to use force, they were able to support China economically, diplomatically, and technologically. For example, last year, China and the United States signed the "Wheat and Cotton Loan Contract" and the "Sino-US Aviation Secret Agreement," which will be of great help to China in reviving its agricultural economy and improving its aviation technology. At the same time, Britain and the United States used the "Nine-Power Pact" to restrain Japan in all aspects.

Japan chose to issue the 'Tianyu Statement' at this time, firstly, because Japan's domestic economy was collapsing day by day, and it was urgent to speed up the pace of aggression against China, second, it was a diplomatic test against the Western powers, because it attracted strong opposition from the great powers, so it immediately issued the 'Second Tianyu Statement', the third was a diplomatic threat to the Western powers, and expressed its tough attitude through the statement, and the fourth was to 'ask for a sky-high price, Repay the money on the ground', by changing the claim of dominating China in the statement, in exchange for the recognition of the puppet Manchukuo by the great powers, the fifth is to ......

Why do I consider the 'Tianyu Declaration' to be a turning point in international relations in the Far East in the title of this article?

Because Japan is guilty of public anger.

You know, the UK is now in a deep economic crisis, and 70% of the UK's business interests are in China. The same is true of the United States, France, and other countries, and the great powers will not allow Japan to dominate China, otherwise the national economies of the great powers will have even more serious problems. Although the Soviet Union did not have such great commercial interests in China, Japan's expansionist behavior already threatened the military security of the Soviet Union in the Far East.

Therefore, after the 'Tianyu Declaration' completely exposed Japan's wolf ambitions, the Western powers will inevitably be more active in assisting China. With the support of the Western powers, the Nationalist Government in Nanking immediately became more assertive in its weak foreign policy toward Japan, as can be seen from the statement of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

Not only that, but the 'Tianyu Statement' has also torn off the last fig leaf of the Japanese, and has made no secret of its covetousness for the whole of China. The people of Chinese will inevitably wake up, abandon the illusions of peace that they once held, and gradually form a united front of the whole nation......

Here, I would like to remind the Western powers that the Western countries regard the 'Tianyu Statement' as an 'Asian Rohmanism', which is an extremely wrong manifestation. The United States practiced the Lohmonism in the Americas and did not seriously interfere with the existing colonies of the European powers. Japan's Asia policy, on the other hand, regards Asia as its inherent territory, and when the time comes, it will inevitably seize the colonies of the great powers in Asia. The Rohmonism of the United States called for 'America to be the America of the Americans,' while Japan's Tenwa Statement was to clamor that 'Asia is the Asia of the Japanese'......

China should seize this opportunity to engage in more in-depth and all-round cooperation with the Western powers. With the "Nine-Power Pact" as the basic principle, formulate a flexible foreign policy in line with international law, vigorously obtain economic and technical support from the great powers, and take the opportunity to enhance China's economic, technological and military strength, and enhance China's international diplomatic status......"

The whole article is an analysis of the "Tianyu Statement", which is explained from many aspects such as the background of the causes, the international situation and the subsequent impact.

Yu Peichen was only indignant at Tianyu's statement, but after reading Zhou Hexuan's article, he immediately had a comprehensive and profound understanding of the entire incident. She came to the editorial office of "Fei Offensive" and said to Nan Hanchen: "Editor-in-Chief Wang, this is an article rewritten by Mr. Zhou, which needs to be published in the new issue of "Fei Offensive" magazine. ”

Nan Hanchen took it and read it carefully, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Zhou is worthy of being an expert on international issues, and this article is written in a comprehensive and simple way, which is enough to serve as a guiding program for China's policy toward Japan. ”

Yu Peichen said regretfully: "It's a pity that he is not our person, an outstanding talent like Mr. Zhou, it would be good if he could join our party." ”

Nan Hanchen said with a smile: "It's enough that he is Chinese." ”
