China's core interests" depends on whether or not China's core interests are involved, and if the war endangers our core interests, we will certainly not be able to fail to do something. Li Dawei said very firmly: "Defend China's interests from infringement" and "Can you accurately say what your core interests are?" It's important to us," Rost asked. China's core interests include China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, the country's legitimate rights and interests are not threatened by geopolitical strategic space, and the national dignity is not infringed upon or threatened."

Rost Road." Sovereignty and territorial integrity are easy to understand, and you can give specific examples of the rights and interests of your country", "equal political rights in international affairs, such as the restoration of the status of the United Nations, and economic rights, such as equal trade rights, war claims, etc."" How are you going to carry out this war claim?" We will make a claim against this in accordance with the Potsdam Agreement. The existing industrial equipment must be dismantled. The possibility of resurrection of militarism is completely rooted." On May 12, 1949, we, the American government, decided on the issue of war reparations in Japan: to cancel the temporary directive of April 1947, to stop the advance dismantling, and to retain the existing industrial equipment in Japan, so that the economy of Japan can be restored, and even the munitions industry will be retained and transferred to civilian use, except for those parts that must be destroyed.

Li Dawei waved his hand contemptuously and said: "That is the matter of your American political axe, and it has no reference value for China" and then stared at Rost's eyes and said: "From September 18, 1931 to August 15, 1945, it is said that the harm caused to China and the Chinese people in the past 14 years must be compensated, and not a cent of the rights and interests claimed by China must be compensated!" It is the right of every war-victim country to hold accountable the wars of the past, and no force can prevent the Chinese government and people from exercising this power."" We, the United States, also attach the highest importance to the possibility of the revival of militarism and are committed to building the country into a peaceful country. But now we can't afford to pay for it, and if we compensate for the existing industrial equipment, it will make it impossible for the economy to recover. This would undermine peace and stability in Asia. Considering the survival and development of the 72 million people in Benben," Rost said in bursts

Qiao Guanhua had been listening carefully and did not speak, at this time he interrupted Rost's speech and said angrily: "Mr. Rost, you say this. Have you thought about the recovery of China's economy? Do you take into account the survival and development of China's 500 million people? Is that how you claim to be committed to a just and stable peace? Is this your American political axe presiding over justice and fairness?" Mr. Joe, this is implicated in the global strategy of the United States. "Stability is important to us in the United States," Feder said.

Li Dawei turned his gaze to George. Feder said: "It is false to be committed to building a country of peace and openness. Make sure that your U.S. global strategy is true. That's in line with your American politics. It is China's power to hold China accountable for the war, and there is no force that can prevent the Chinese government and people from exercising this power. No one should underestimate the determination and ability of the Chinese people to stand up to defend their rights and interests. We respect the interests of the United States in China, but the United States cannot sacrifice China's interests because of its own interests. The purpose of our meeting here today is to make clear where our respective interests lie, which are the common interests that can be distributed negotiably, and which interests are non-negotiable. Our two countries are both victims of militarism, and it may be our common responsibility to prevent the resurgence of militarism to the greatest extent, and we should be unanimous on this issue, and I hope that you, the United States, will fully respect China's rights and interests!

Rost looked at the angry Qiao Guanhua and Li Dawei and was speechless for a while.

After a moment of silence, Rost said: "War claims are a very long process, and there is a lot of concern. Let's take our time. Rost looked at the watch on his left wrist and said, "Now I propose, let's have a good taste of the authentic American western steak prepared for you. It's a historic delicacy."

Lunch was held in a small restaurant with an early western cowboy style on the east side of the villa, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about the quarrel and everyone was talking and laughing. Both sides talk to each other about their respective food cultures. Lunch is served in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. But neither of them will really be at ease.

After lunch, Wu Xiuquan, Qiao Guanhua, and Li Dawei walked slowly along the edge of the lawn in front of the villa, discussing while walking

The U.S. side is also reporting to the highest authorities on the situation of the talks between the two sides in the morning.

In the afternoon, as soon as the talks began, the US side raised the issue of prisoners of war." Mr. Wu, we have taken note of Mr. Lee's remarks at the press conference on the issue of prisoners of war, and we are very disturbed by this, because on August 12 last year, 61 countries formulated the Naiva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Article 118 of which clearly stipulates that prisoners of war shall be released and repatriated as soon as the actual fighting has ceased. No delay. You say that you are not a signatory to the Neiva Convention. will not be subject to this treaty. However, article 139 of the Neiva Convention stipulates that 'the present Convention shall accede to it by any State which has not signed it, as of the date of its entry into force.' The implementation date of the Convention was October 21, 1950, which means that it began to be implemented more than a month ago'" Rost gushed.

Li Dawei said: "It is too early to talk about the issue of prisoners of war, even after the war has ceased according to the provisions of the Neiva Convention. The war has not stopped at present, and there are still many most important issues between China and the United States, such as the issue of claims for war and the Taiwan issue, which we talked about this morning, all of which may trigger a new war between us again. In the morning, we have already talked about China's attitude towards the claims, and in the next step, we will discuss the specific claims with the political axe, and we hope that the United States will not favor one over the other and make obstructions. Moreover, Mr. Wu has made it very clear at the UN General Assembly on behalf of China's political axe. The People's Republic of China is the only legal political axe in China. Taiwan is part of the territory of China. Any foreign forces must unconditionally withdraw from Taiwan." We recognize that Taiwan is a part of China, and as tensions on the Korean Peninsula ease, we will gradually reduce the number of armed forces and militaristic facilities that will eventually be completely withdrawn from Taiwan. The peaceful settlement of the Taiwan issue by the Chinese themselves."

After listening to this, Li Dawei slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked directly at Rost and said: "The Taiwan issue is related to China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and this issue is not negotiable. How to resolve the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, and other countries have no right to interfere; Naturally, we will give full consideration to the Taiwanese people's right to free cooking. The Taiwan issue will be resolved through consultation between the people on both sides of the strait, but we will not rule out the possibility of resolving it by force if the consultation is ineffective. All U.S. armed forces and military installations must be withdrawn from Taiwan by December 31, 1951. "Are you intimidating?" George. Feder said angrily. No, no, no, the United States is not a country that can be intimidated" Li Dawei shook his head and said: "I just inform you very kindly, as a friend, I tell you that from the day of the birth of New China, never underestimate the determination and courage of the Chinese people to safeguard their core interests! . China's core interests are inviolable, and this is the same as that of the United States! To tell you the truth, you should not be unappreciative of the concessions made in the Korean issue for the sake of our common interests, allowing you to stay south of the 37th parallel."" Do you really think you have what it takes to expel the United [***] from the Korean Peninsula?" George. Feder shouted.

Li Dawei smiled and said, "George. What do you think? You're so hard to forget what I told you about the other day."

Rost stopped George with his gaze. Feder's meaningless argument said, "Mr. Lee, what do you mean by 'our common interests'?" Oh, that's a strategy, a balanced strategy that we all need, and only then is the world the most stable." Li Dawei looked at the puzzled eyes of the Americans in front of him and then said: You Americans like to use two points to balance, and you can divide a country into two halves at every turn. Divide the countries of the world into two camps. We also do balancing, but we think the three-point balance is the most stable.

George. Feder sat on the sofa blankly, thoughtful, Rost seemed to have an understanding, and said to himself: "Three points of balance, three kingdoms are strong" Mr. Li said in your answer to reporters at the press conference. Feder then returned to the issue of prisoners of war: "Is it true that you are willing to help the families of prisoners of war redeem them?" If so, I think this is a simple way to solve the problem," "If the American political axe is willing to do this, I can put forward a plan for your reference, in the name of private economic assistance, you will first take out 3,000 excavators with buckets of more than 0.8 cubic meters, 5,000 bulldozers, and 5,000 4-ton cars, and replace 10,000 wounded people first. To be honest, China's medical conditions are really not as good as yours, and there is a shortage of doctors and medicines. It's good for everyone. You don't lose face as the boss, and we also practice humanitarianism. If it works, I'll send a telegram to the country tomorrow." Li Dawei finally added. But if it's new, it can't be used for more than 200 hours, otherwise I won't be able to speak."" Isn't this approach suitable for all prisoners of war?" George. Feder asked.
