[273] GATT Contracting Status

The more Xiao Qiang spoke, the more excited he became, and he foamed at the mouth: "At the beginning, the Americans rushed the ducks to the shelves, and they had to force Lao Jiang to join GATT, that is, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. This GATT, which vigorously advocates free trade, was originally tailor-made for the industrialized countries of the West, especially for the United States, which had no loss of its homeland at all in World War II, and it was almost perfect. China's industry was extremely backward, so of course the people of insight in the Kuomintang government were reluctant to join, but the comprador bourgeoisie of Lao Chiang had no bones, and finally joined at the urging of the Americans, but at last he relied on the huge market attraction to mix up the status of a founding party, which was unprofitable because it was not supported by industry.

Historically, after the Kuomintang lost the mainland and fled to Taiwan, our supply party did not eat the pot of the United States, and of course it would not allow the United States to frantically attack our domestic market and slaughter our national industry, so we refused to fulfill our status as a signatory to the GATT.

The United States, which had lost China's huge market, immediately turned its face and denied it, and reversed the tariff preferences granted to the "Republic of China," that is, Taiwan, and proposed at the GATT Contracting Assembly that all member states cancel the preferential tariffs given to Taiwan. The reason is very simple, Taiwan can't provide a huge market, such a useless status, it's almost the same as being an ordinary member of GATT, as a founding signatory, and enjoying preferential tariffs on an equal footing with Western powers, there is no door! Since then, Taiwan has lost its tariff preferences. In the words of the Taiwanese, "Big Brother drove ducks to the shelves, but now he turns his face and doesn't recognize people." ”

Moreover, we were ruthless enough at the beginning, and we also asked the Czech Republic, a socialist country among the GATT signatories, to embarrass Lao Chiang, and the Czech Republic helped us urge other signatories to immediately cancel all tariff preferences for Taiwan. After the news of this incident leaked, Gu Weijun suggested that the Taiwan authorities simply withdraw from GATT, and don't wait for everyone to embarrass themselves. As a result, Taiwan announced the introduction of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) on March 6, 1950.

This time, however, we had a foresight and handled the issue according to our current superiority, and did not respond to the United States' refusal to fulfill its status as a signatory to the GATT, but only asked for the liberation of Taiwan to be postponed for the time being under the pretext that the domestic situation was chaotic during the war. That's great!

I estimate that in a few days, the Americans will begin to urge us to fulfill our status as a signatory to the GATT and open up our domestic market. ”

The prime minister smiled and said: "Xiaoqiang, where did you learn your ability to cheat and deceive, if the Americans hear your words, I am afraid that they will faint in anger." ”

Xiaoqiang also smiled and continued: "We have been relying on smuggling to do entrepot trade, if we do this, the trade volume is limited, and if it takes a long time, the British side will strengthen the control of smuggling routes, and then it will be subject to others, and smuggling to Hong Kong for entrepot trade, this method is too simple, and it is indeed not safe." ”

"At present, we still have all the Warsaw Pact countries that can be used as trade partners, and if we join GATT, then we will become a two-camp trade platform like the Czech Republic," the prime minister said. ”

Xiaoqiang nodded and said: "The Warsaw Pact countries are basically poor, and the Western bloc is the real rich man." Besides, it is not easy for the poor to earn money, and the countries of the Warsaw Pact are all under the socialist system of import quotas, and all countries would rather let the common people not be able to buy things with money in their hands than hand over the market, and the annual growth of import trade volume is under the control of the state.

The capitalists in the West are different, although there are many great industrialists in the West, but more of them are the kind of mercenary comprador businessmen, as long as they are profitable, they will not care about the life or death of those who do business.

As long as we complete industrialization and can provide competitive industrial products, then the treatment we enjoy as a founding party is no longer empty talk, but tangible benefits. It would enable China's products and services, as well as intellectual property, to enjoy unconditional, multilateral, permanent and stable most-favored-nation status, as well as national treatment, in all Member States. There are also decision-making powers similar to international economic and trade rules, and so on.

The reason why the Czech Republic did not withdraw from GATT is because the Czech Republic is an old industrial power, and the level of heavy industry, especially machinery manufacturing, is really high!

It is also normal for Lao Chiang to withdraw from the GATT, since he wants to start a new business in Taiwan to confront the mainland, he will inevitably engage in a closed market to protect industrial development, besides, he is unilateral diplomacy, as long as the Americans are willing to give him a supporting role in the division of trade, he can live a very nourishing life. ”

The Prime Minister said: "In other words, as long as you can bring in a lot of industrial products, it is still more advantageous for us to stay in the GATT as a contracting party than to stay outside, right?" If we can become a socialist party to the GATT outside of the Czech Republic, I think the entire socialist camp will have a better voice in the international arena. ”

Xiaoqiang said: "In fact, not only GATT, we have to get back a lot of things, such as our legal seats in international banks, the international development association and the international finance corporation under international banks, etc., we are also one of the founding members of the IMF and the International Monetary Fund, historically, due to the support of the United States, Taiwan has occupied these legitimate seats belonging to the entire Chinese until 1980!"

Now that New China has completed the great cause of reunification, these international rights and interests belonging to the Chinese people must naturally be fully recovered, and this is the most basic rights and interests that the Chinese people should take back after making great contributions to the victory of the anti-fascist war! As a matter of fact, the Americans have insidiously colluded with the reactionary government in Taiwan for 30 years and blackened out the legitimate rights and interests belonging to the entire Chinese people! This time, we must not let the Americans succeed! And the Americans can't even come up with the most far-fetched reason now! ”

The prime minister thought for a moment and said: "Xiaoqiang, I think this matter must be studied and solved as soon as possible!" When we return to Beidu tomorrow, we will take the status of GATT member state together with the status of member of the UN Security Council as you said! There are other legitimate international rights and interests belonging to our China, and they must all be recovered as soon as possible!

We have to hurry up in time, in case Kim Il Cheng starts to make trouble, things will not be easy. So far, our time windows have been grasped very skillfully, Xiaoqiang, you have become a magic weapon for our country to seek benefits and avoid disasters. ”

Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "The Americans are naturally very happy to see that we are willing to fulfill the status of GATT party members, grasp their mentality, it is not difficult for us to restore the seat of the Security Council, besides, Anglo-American law has a three-fifths majority in the Security Council, and the Security Council is a one-vote veto system, and the Americans have no reason to make more difficulties for China, which is advancing and retreating with the Soviet Union." The calculation of the Americans was that as long as the Batumi embargo was maintained, no high-tech jishu and equipment were exported to China and the USSR. ”

"Hehe, now, he just gives it to us, we don't want it, when the time comes, let's register the patent in all GATT countries, and let the Americans pay us patent fees!" The more the prime minister thought about it, the happier he became, and he laughed.

Xiaoqiang saw that the prime minister was happy, and he boldly proposed: "Prime minister, I still have an idea, don't be surprised if I say something wrong." ”

The prime minister affectionately touched Xiaoqiang's head and said: "When have I ever blamed you for this precious egg, you can say it quickly, I am most willing to listen to you now." ”

Xiaoqiang said: "Now that we have recovered Taiwan, the DPRK's strategic attempt to use Taiwan to attract some of the energy of the United States no longer exists, and as long as Comrade Kim Il Sung makes a fuss, the thorn in the side of the United States in Asia will be him." I am sure that Comrade Kim Il Sung will not fail to see this. ”

The prime minister leaned back in the back seat, pondering Xiaoqiang's words.

Xiao Qiang continued: "I mean, we should try again and do our best to persuade Comrade Kim Il Sung to abandon his intention to reunify Korea in the near future. I estimate that if we can complete the first five-year period that is currently being formulated, with our support, the chances of Korean reunification will be greater, and if we can complete two five-year periods, Korean reunification will be at least 80 percent certain, and if we can safely complete the three five-year periods, then Korean reunification will certainly be a certainty. ”

The prime minister closed his eyes and said slowly: "But the key is how to say this to Kim Il Sung, and how to ensure that he is willing to believe it after saying it." He is now bent on hugging the thigh of the Soviet Union, and he is very eager for armed reunification. ”

Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If it really doesn't work...... The child is disobedient, it's time to spank. ”

The prime minister suddenly opened his eyes, raised his voice with some excitement and said to Xiaoqiang: "Who did you learn this from!" ”

Xiaoqiang was immediately frightened and did not dare to speak.

The prime minister realized that Xiaoqiang was surprised, and the whole person immediately calmed down, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes and said: "Child, don't mention this in the future, between brothers, this kind of thing is not allowed." ”

Xiao Qiang nodded again and again: "Prime Minister, I know it's wrong, I won't mention it in the future." ”

The prime minister said slowly: "Do you know where you are wrong?" I hurriedly admitted my mistake, and I didn't ask where the mistake was? You probably think the prime minister is a little pedantic in this matter, right? ”

Xiaoqiang hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, what did you say!" I think in my heart, what you say is always right, I'm a little kid, what can I know? ”

The prime minister smiled slightly: "Little clever ghost, you are still young, it is inevitable that you will be strong, and the prime minister does not blame you." But you have to remember that we Chinese have a conscience, and if anyone helped us when we were in trouble, we would tighten our belts and pay it back.

We Chinese, it is easy not to ask for people, once we ask for people, and people really help us, this is a true feeling, knowing the grace of the map, is the basic principle of being a person, at the national level, it is the same.

We Chinese have a long traditional moral concept and must guard our own bottom line. If you can't learn from the Americans, you will take revenge, and turn around on the Indians who took them in and gave them food for the winter, saying that the favors given by others are God's grace, and they turn their faces and deny it. ”

Xiaoqiang nodded desperately and said, "Prime Minister, I remember!" ”

The premier continued: "Xiaoqiang, don't be discouraged, your purpose is still right, we Chinese are peace-loving, and New China also needs a peaceful surrounding environment for development and construction, so if Comrade Kim Il Cheng is willing to postpone it, of course, it is the best."

However, in the event of a war and the United States intervenes, although there is no need for us to give the Soviet Union a name, how can we allow the Americans to cling to our northeast, the only industrial powerhouse at present, to make trouble? I have also read the articles of some third-rate "historians" of later generations that you brought, and many places are complete nonsense, and even ulterior motives. ”

Xiaoqiang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, many things in later generations are like this, if the author is not a fool, it can only be said that he has ulterior motives." ”

The Prime Minister nodded and said no more.
