[316] Quietly establish diplomatic relations

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

Acheson took a fierce puff of his cigar and said with a smoke: "Harry, I don't think it should be delayed any longer to allow the new Chinese government to inherit the diplomatic status of the previous government, the idea that the Chinese have already inherited their seats in the United Nations and various international organizations, and at this time they have to establish diplomatic relations with the United States as a new country, this idea itself is absurd." ”

Truman nodded helplessly and said: "Although I agree with you, McCarthy's gang in Congress don't think so, they have to say that this China is not another China, and they oppose dealing with it in a way that has already established diplomatic relations, and their attitude is very tough." Moreover, the most important thing is that there is also the $1 billion foreign debt owed by the Chiang government during the previous civil war, and the Chinese are not willing to admit the debt of the previous government. Since they do not recognize Chiang's foreign debts, what reason do we have for him to inherit the diplomatic status of Chiang's regime? ”

Acheson raised his voice and said, "I'm the Secretary of State!" Foreign affairs cannot be left to the nonsense of McCarthy's gang, and now is a good time to woo China, which is now clearly more of a nationalist government than a supply-oriented government. This distinction is so important! We must seize the moment and not allow a permanent member of the Security Council that can be co-opted to continue to slide towards Moscow! Harry, you're the president, don't care what those guys say. As far as I know, many people in the Republican Party agree that the current situation has affected US trade! Joseph McCarthy does not represent all Republicans. ”

Acheson cleared his throat and continued: "It is true that there are a billion dollars in loans, but they are joint loans of the interests of various banking groups, and the United States only accounts for the lion's share of them. But as long as we pass free trade, this money can be earned back quickly, but if we continue to push the Chinese to the side of Moscow, then this billion dollars will really become a stone thrown into the water! Besides, the trade benefits that these consortia have been getting from China have long been hundreds of times that of these billion-dollar loans, so what do they have to complain about! ”

Truman said: "Last week, Republican Senator Lassana and his supporters demanded diplomatic relations with China, probably because the Chinese produced new drugs against tuberculosis, right? The medicine company behind Lassana probably couldn't sit still. ”

Acheson said: "Yes, it is preliminarily estimated that if the new anti-tuberculosis drugs produced by China's genius invention can be fully represented by the four major pharmaceutical sales groups behind Senator Lhasana, monopolizing the circulation channels, the net profit generated by acting as an agent for these drugs can reach 200 million US dollars every year!" It's not just a matter of new drugs, Chinese Ambassador Qiao has now said that the Chinese government is willing to recognize US patents! And the patent law and the establishment of an intellectual property office are being drafted! From this it can be seen that they are different from the Soviets! You know, those bitches in Moscow don't admit to having a patent at all! ”

Truman said: "I've heard about this, so if Chinese goods enter the United States, once they involve patents, we can draw dividends, and 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 American patent. In this way, they can only export streptomycin, for example, now, or some other small number of self-patented goods that they may invent in the future, as well as some raw materials such as pig bristles and coal. It is impossible for them to export machinery or other slightly more complicated expensive equipment! And American goods can be easily returned to China!

Harry, there is almost nothing to be made in China now, and they are in a hurry to industrialize, and the market is amazing! Steel, machinery, power generation equipment, and even various light industrial products in the United States are all the most sought-after goods. I bet that even if the Chinese adopt the Czech-style centralized procurement and import method, as long as they do not boycott American goods, we will earn back that billion dollars in less than three years! Even if they can control the procurement of state-owned enterprises, so many small private business owners will not miss the opportunity to make money from American goods! ”

Truman said wistfully: "Now that China has joined the GATT, then he should not set restrictions on American goods, and American goods will be unimpeded as in the Czech Republic!" We have been indoctrinating the Czechs with the ideas of free markets and economic reforms since the end of the war, so much so that even Moscow warns that Prague smells of capitalist liberals in the spring. Haha, I think that China, as another GATT signatory in the socialist camp, will soon be able to taste this kind of freedom. ”

Acheson laughed: "Our attempt in Prague will eventually bear fruit, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, the Czech Republic is a window in Europe for us to output different voices to Moscow's commands." Now that China is back at the GATT table, and I think it will be the same in the future, China could be a window to supplyism in Asia. With this open window in the socialist camp, especially in the huge China, we can even influence the way Moscow thinks in the future. ”

Truman finally made up his mind and said: "That's it, Dean, leave this matter to you, and now this matter should 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 continuation of the diplomatic status of the Chinese regime, and then we will go to the northern capital to resume the establishment of an embassy in accordance with 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, and that it had been 37 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1913. It's just that the current China is no longer the ignorant and backward semi-feudal and semi-colonial primitive continent, and everything has become different after the people become the masters.

At this time, Xiaoqiang was accompanying Mr. Chen to visit the newly established children's welfare home in Puhai. At this time, there were abandoned babies on the streets of Puhai, so the people's government took over the nursery that had been run by social assistance and expanded it into a children's welfare home, and the government funded the raising of these children.

Xiaoqiang came out of the welfare home and saw a newspaper boy with a newspaper bag around his neck selling hard, so he quickly paid four cents to buy a copy. I was very surprised to see the news in the People's Daily that China and the United States had resumed diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

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

"Oh, what's so great about this, diplomacy, Bibi fists, Bibi wallets, if nothing can compare to others, then what else is there to say, so I have to shut up and sit down." Mr. Chen humored.

Xiaoqiang smiled: "Yes, the imperialism in these years is too sincere, and the carrot stick policy is too naked. I don't even pay attention to some flower work. In my opinion, the days when the United States will impose sanctions on us in the future will be indispensable. ”

Mr. Chen took the newspaper and glanced at it and said, "If there are worms in the rice, you won't eat?" Be careful, Xiaoqiang, your child is good at everything, but he is a little timid, we Chinese do things, and we have to report to him Americans. ”

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

"The little guy is just worried about it, and he has less Chen Butcher, so he eats hairless pigs."

As he spoke, Mr. Chen got into the car and continued to flip through the newspaper that Xiaoqiang asked the guard to buy: "...... I haven't even had time to open this newspaper today, so let me read it...... The central government promulgated the "Regulations on the Organization of Urban Sub-district Offices" and "Regulations on Household Registration", well, this document was received last month...... The draft Nationality Act, the Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities Regulations, the Consular Privileges and Immunities Regulations, and the Treaty Conclusion Procedure Act were also promulgated, which were also received last month, and the draft Drug Administration Act, the Compulsory Education Act, the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act, the Archives Act, and the Customs Act were also ...... new...... Alas, lately, the newspapers have been publishing all kinds of draft new laws, but the cadres are busy with industrial construction one by one, and there is no time for large-scale organization study, and now only a small number of cadres can be organized to study. Fortunately, there are newspapers that publish law popularization education all day long, otherwise I really don't know how many laws will be introduced next, how can this be learned? ”

Xiaoqiang smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, the laws are all clear things, as long as you are not illiterate, you can understand it, this is much easier than engaging in industrial construction." Cadres are not professionals, so there is no need to study too deeply, just know that there is such a law, but the organizational construction is a little more troublesome, and there are many more institutions to set up. ”

"What! I actually lost! Mr. Chen suddenly said in surprise.

Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, and you didn't hear what I said.

"What lost? Mr. Chen, where did you say you lost? ”

I saw Mr. Chen blushing angrily and said, "Look at it!" This news! ”

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

"According to reliable sources, the Vietnamese People's Army guerrillas were attacked by about 50 French airborne paratroopers and ground troops the day before yesterday after capturing Dong Khi, an important stronghold between Cao Ping and Lang Son and guarded by 70 French colonial troops and 200 puppet troops, at the cost of heavy casualties. According to reliable sources, the French army redeployed about a company of elite troops of the Foreign Legion at Dong Kye, and the Vietnamese People's Army, after several unsuccessful re-offensives, chose to temporarily retreat and recuperate in the face of the French colonial army that had gained a firm foothold and the French reinforcements of up to 300 men who arrived in Lang Son. ”

Xiaoqiang also looked stupid, and said in surprise: "Dongxi has to pay a heavy price for casualties when it beats 270 people!" 50 paratroopers parachuted in to drive the Vietnamese out? One company of the French army held Dongxi? In the face of 500 reinforcements, it was cowardly? Oh my god! What the hell is this! ”
