Chapter 354 Diplomacy is the continuation of a country's internal affairs

U.S. Secretary of State Lasker and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Bon. Kennedy's visit to China will have a bearing on the future and destiny of the United States and even the entire world. Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs. Kennedy "borrowed the past to talk about the present" in a vernacular, and finally gave one of his opinions: "What else can you do in the face of a powerful and enterprising China?" If we, the United States, can now confine China, the dragon that has taken off, to Asia, and ask them to promise not to interfere in the affairs of the Americas and Europe, this will already be a very good result. ”

"Yay." Secretary of State Lasker replied softly with a lonely expression, and paced slowly on the lawn with a heavy heart. The whole situation is laid out here, and we should stop trying to fight for the interests of the United States in Asia. Bang is right, looking at China's current posture, we have to thank God for ensuring that China does not interfere in the affairs of the Americas and Europe. Kennedy's final directive at an emergency meeting of the US National Security Council before his arrival in China rang in his ears: "All problems with a superpower like China can only be resolved by political means." The United States should no longer bear any responsibilities and obligations to Asia, and our first priority is the Americas and Europe. Let's leave Asian things to the Chinese. ”

Not to wage war with China in China's neighborhood is the most profound lesson that the United States has learned through the Korean War at the cost of the blood and lives of American soldiers, as well as the thousands of excavators, bulldozers, and automobiles paid to China and the return of the Ryukyu Islands to China. As China's power grew, it was developed by Eisenhower and Kennedy to refrain from going to war with China in Asia. Whether it is from the actual military deployment or from the first informal meeting between the United States and China today, it can be seen that China has made preparations for a war with the United States in order to realize their "Monroe Doctrine." The Chinese marshal and foreign minister have already said: "We are only discussing with you the question of what form the US troops should be withdrawn." "The U.S. can only roll up in Asia and go home. U.S. Secretary of State Lasker combed his train of thought in the chilly spring breeze.

After he had thought everything through, Kennedy exchanged views with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs on how to talk to China about a series of specific issues that China and the United States are currently facing

After leaving Building 12, where the US delegation was staying, Li Dawei and Foreign Minister Chen Yi arrived at Building 18, located in the center of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse campus, on the north side of the central lake. Members of the US delegation who have come to China for a secret visit will be hosted here this evening.

Building 18 is an elegant and luxurious antique building, the appearance is magnificent, the gilded bronze lion of the Old Summer Palace is on both sides of the gate, quite royal style. The ancient trees outside the building are dense and the winding paths are quiet, showing the attainments of the artistic conception of ancient Chinese garden culture. The interior of this imitation Ming Dynasty building is also used in the antique Ming style decoration and interior, this building is specially prepared for foreign heads of state when visiting China, to be honest, as China's vice foreign minister he often came here, but he never went to the third floor of the presidential suite. Not to mention staying overnight. It's not that he doesn't have a chance to live here, but because the power of example is that he can't live here, and he's embarrassed to live here.

The Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is the "No. 1 Hotel in China" to receive foreign dignitaries. The supreme chief, [***], Zhou Enlai and other leaders of the [***] central government sometimes go to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to convene meetings or stay temporarily. Every time the supreme leader came to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse for a meeting or a small stay, he stayed in Building 12, where the US delegation is currently staying. But when he stayed in Building 12, he never lived in the highest-level VIP bedroom on the second floor, and always lived in a small hall, a bathroom, and a bedroom suite for the VIP attaché on the first floor. Premier Zhou Enlai used to live in Building No. 5, in the middle of the northern part of the Diaoyutai Park, where he sometimes not only rested, stayed and worked, but also received foreign guests here and held many state events. But he also never lived in the regimental leader's suite in Building 5

The leaders of this era, from the central to the local, are absolutely incomparable to those of later generations. This is absolutely inseparable from the exemplary and leading role of the supreme leader. All Li Dawei lived in Diaoyutai, and he also took the initiative to choose to live in an ordinary room. This time, for the convenience of negotiating with the US delegation, it was arranged for him and Mr. Chen to live in Building 18, and he and Mr. Chen still lived in an ordinary room downstairs according to the "usual practice." From this aspect, we can also see the main reason why China is clean under the leadership of MZD.

Li Dawei went to the banquet hall to check the preparations for the banquet in the evening, and then came to the adjacent lounge. Sitting on the sofa, he seriously reviewed the talks between China and the United States in the afternoon, and he was very satisfied with this informal meeting, and he made some necessary preparations for the situation that might arise in the subsequent talks. He was confident in China's foreign policy, which he had helped to formulate.

A country's foreign policy is the basic principles and course of action that a country follows in dealing with international and foreign relations and conducting diplomatic activities. A country's foreign policy reflects a country's overall foreign thinking. Fundamentally speaking, diplomacy is the continuation of a country's internal affairs, and the level of diplomacy is to a large extent the embodiment of the domestic political situation, and an advanced political system that can stand the test can stimulate the vigorous and upward vigor of all the people, and an advanced domestic political system will provide a suitable and efficient decision-making system for diplomacy, create a positive and enterprising diplomatic style, and be the source of the strength of active diplomacy. Moreover, the attractiveness of an advanced system is itself a huge advantage of diplomacy, attracting other countries to learn from their own systems and increase mutual trust, and its effect is irreplaceable by material forces.

The Chinese socialist system in this era has an incomparably superior surname, there is no unemployment, no difficulty in seeing a doctor, no inability to sell houses, no soaring prices, and no people's lack of livelihood. With the help of the "foresight" of the "base people" and the "new ideas, new cultures" and advanced "new technologies" brought by them, China has seized the highest point of development of this era with the advanced technology of the third information technology revolution and achieved an absolute leading position in the field of high technology. With their far-sighted historical vision and profound strategic wisdom, the Chinese people, represented by the supreme chief, seized this rare God-given opportunity to mobilize tens of millions of people and mobilize a mighty army to transform a poor and backward old China full of wounds into a powerful socialist new China in a short period of time. Realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

According to the actual situation of New China, the CPC Central Committee headed by the supreme leader and Premier Zhou Enlai, with the participation and suggestion of himself and some "base people" such as Deng Feng, has made every effort to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China's reading power, and a series of core interests related to China; Take advantage of the geographical advantages to establish an emerging power led by China in Asia to ensure China's geopolitical security; without jeopardizing China's core interests, not interfering in the Americas and Europe, as well as in matters between the two camps; Establish a new international economic and political order, maintain world peace, and promote the common development of the whole mankind.

This policy greatly promoted the improvement of New China's international status, and enabled China to quickly become a powerful country with great influence in the world and a decisive economic, political, and military power. At the same time, China's development has promoted the economic development and human progress of the entire Asian region. It is China's friends and iron buddies all over the world.

On the one hand, a backward political system determines the backwardness of the foreign policy-making system and the low administrative efficiency; On the other hand, a backward domestic political system often becomes a target of attack by other countries in diplomacy, and a great deal of energy of diplomats will be involved in dealing with the rational surnames of the system of explanation, and the implementation of diplomatic strategies will inevitably be affected by the difficulties of other countries at every turn. What can be asserted is that a country with a backward system that follows others will be greatly constrained in its exertion of strength, and it will be impossible for it to grow into a real power at all.

Li Dawei, a diplomat from the new China who came to later generations, felt this very deeply. In the course of history, the "theory of three worlds" formulated by MZD divided all countries in the world into "superpowers, developed countries, and third world countries" according to the interest groups formed by economic status of "landlords, middle peasants, and poor peasants" in one of the countries. China's national security is guaranteed.

Later, he abandoned the theory of three worlds formulated by the MZD and China's hard-line foreign policy, and adopted the national strategy of "evading, hitchhiking" and "taobao", so that a nuclear power, one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, became a small follower of the United States. The United States has repeatedly compromised and retreated on major international issues, and the United States has said that it will immediately give full cooperation in counter-terrorism. Li Dawei still can't figure it out, what do you say that bin Laden's collision in the United States has to do with China, and if you don't help Comrade bin Laden, forget it, what kind of international "anti-control" coaxing will follow? Osama bin Laden is dead, what good can you get but to clean you up? It's really a mouse to be a companion to the cat!

The United States said that the sanctions immediately followed and responded positively. If the United States can buy weapons to one of China's provinces, why can't China buy weapons to Iran? After winning a "great victory in the Yinhe incident," the US political axe has become the "competent bureau" for China's arms exports. Without the approval of the United States, they will not dare to export a single shot or bullet to the "rogue state" designated by the United States

The United States has no money to spend, so it immediately took out the hard-earned money of its own people from its own pockets and gave it blood transfusion to the United States

On the core interests of a country, which has a bearing on national sovereignty and territorial integrity, we have retreated again and again, and have conceded and conceded, but what the result is, the more we retreat, the worse it gets, and the more we concede, the more we will finish. In the end, I'm afraid that I don't even know where the bottom line is. On the issue of the South China Sea, the United States previously recognized the legitimacy of China's sovereignty in the South China Sea, but only raised the issue of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and China began to explain how freedom of navigation in the South China Sea was not a problem. The United States has been granted freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, and it has gone so far as to deny China's legitimate sovereignty over the South China Sea, proposing that sovereignty should be determined according to the topography and landform, and instigating and supporting small Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines and China to interfere

Li Dawei felt blocked in his heart when he recalled that era, and the diplomats at that time, like a group of eunuchs who had been castrated, bent over, lowered their heads and watched carefully watching their master's every move, word and deed, for fear of angering their master. No matter how the United States treats itself, in the eyes of these "eunuchs," the disgusting diplomat demeanor can deduce how reasonable the master's proposition is and how fair it is to itself. I've seen cheap people, but I've never seen such a cheap one.

Hey, Li Dawei sighed deeply when he thought of this, shook his head, and couldn't blame these "men and women who are not women", what soil grows what trees, and what flowers bear fruit, after all, foreign policy is to serve the domestic political system

"Minister Li, the buffet is ready, please go and have a look." A protocol staff knocked on the door and came in, interrupting Li Dawei's thoughts.

Li Dawei went to the banquet hall of Building 18 with the staff, and carefully looked at the layout and presentation of the entire venue, salad, foie gras, ham, beef, shrimp floss, caviar and other cold dishes are very rich; Beetroot soup, oxtail soup, jade millet soup, hot and sour soup, and three fresh soups, a combination of Chinese and Western soups are also prepared; The preparation of hot dishes such as fried chicken, smoked fish, barbecued meat, roast meat, roasted fish, and potato chips is few and fine; Bread, vegetable buns, hot dogs, fried rice, cakes, cookies, acrylic racks, sandwiches, hamburgers, pizzas and other snacks are also available; Desserts such as pudding, fruit steaks, and ice cream are also in place; Bananas, pineapples, watermelons, papayas, citrus, cherries, grapes, apples and other fruits are also placed on the fruit bowls; Milk, coffee, tea, juice, mineral water, cocktails and other drinks are also available, and there are many types of cold food parties.

"Not bad!" Li Dawei nodded with satisfaction and praised.

The buffet will be in much the same format as the buffet. Buffets are basically based on elegant and unique cold dishes, beverages, and low-alcohol wines, and the main purpose of the buffet is not to eat, but to create a socially friendly atmosphere through this form.
