Chapter 1173: It’s All About Exchanging Interests

Dian Wubing and Boss Zhu reached an agreement that he would come forward to resolve China and Russia! We chatted happily about Sichuan Turbulence. The government, on the other hand, is trying to get the black political power in several small African countries to gain their support for Fan Investment Group's investment in minerals in Africa.

"This is an exchange of interests. When Fan Wubing returned home, he explained to his father Fan Heng.

After Fan Heng listened to Fan Wubing's explanation. I told him, "The government still has a relatively large influence on Africa, but it is generally not willing to show it. It is a key relationship. It must be used at the right time."

Fan Wubing fully agreed with this. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese government has been providing assistance to African countries, spending tens of billions. Although this was an astronomical figure based on the comparable value at the time, but in terms of revenue, Judging from the results, it is indeed worth it. It not only allowed New China to return to the United Nations, but also won the support of a large number of die-hard supporters and became a permanent member of the Security Council again, with a veto power. This is something no amount of money can buy.

As early as November 15, 1949. The Prime Minister called the United Nations Secretary-General Lie and the four-term President of the United Nations General Assembly Romulo respectively, demanding that the United Nations immediately cancel "the Chinese National Government delegation and continue to represent the Chinese people in the United Nations with all rights." The Chinese government's proposition was supported by the Soviet Union, India , Yugoslavia and other governments, but was opposed by the U.S. government. The U.S. government opposed the matter on the excuse that the time was not ripe, and the issue of China's representation was delayed in the initial stage of the United Nations.

Under the influence of New China's foreign policy, a powerful force, mainly African countries, emerged to support China's restoration of its legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations. It also started a contest with the United States and other countries that opposed the restoration of China's legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations. The two sides have been fighting for eleven years.

During this period, the United States' approach to the issue of China's representation changed. Delaying the discussion became increasingly unpopular. In the end, the issue of China's representation could only be resolved by a two-thirds majority vote of the General Assembly. block.

By 1971, seeing that it might be difficult to prevent non-group countries from supporting China, the United States, Japan and other countries proposed a dual representation case before the 26th session of the United Nations General Assembly. In an attempt to create two Chinas, the new Chinese government will voluntarily withdraw.

This happened because the Prime Minister said during his second meeting with the Prime Minister of Somalia, "If the United States sees that the majority of countries in the United Nations support China's restoration of its seat, it will play new tricks and propose that Taiwan must be excluded. This is absolutely unacceptable to us. Otherwise, if we admit that Taiwan was divided and the United States occupied Taiwan, even Chiang Kai-shek did not admit it, if we admit it, we will become national sinners. We would rather not join the United Nations.

On the evening of October 25, 1971, the debate on the issue of China’s representation at the 26th United Nations General Assembly came to an end. At this time, the historic voting began immediately, and the bills proposed by 22 countries including the United States, Japan, and others were vetoed.

Then, the conference voted on proposals from 23 African countries including Algeria.

After the vote, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bush asked to speak. He told representatives of all member states that the U.S. delegation requested that the content regarding the immediate expulsion of representatives of the Chiang Kai-shek clique from the United Nations be deleted from the proposals of 23 countries including Algeria.

Bush's proposal was not accepted, and a vote was immediately taken on proposals from 23 African countries including Algeria. The famous Resolution No. 19 in the history of the United Nations was born.

The president of the conference loudly announced that since the proposal of 23 countries including Algeria was adopted, the "dual representation" proposal of 19 countries including the United States and Japan became a scrap bill and was automatically rejected by the conference.

As soon as this solemn announcement came to an end, there was once again a long scene of warm cheers and applause in the conference hall.

Secretary-General U Thant immediately said, “Only when the seat of the People’s Republic of China, the world’s most populous country, is restored can the United Nations truly begin its work.”

That night, NBC, CBS and ABC broadcast the news on the three major TV stations in the form of extra important news breaks, saying, "With the support of 76 African and other countries, Red China was allowed to enter." United Nations, a new historical period is coming

When reporting this news, all three newspapers published a list of 76 countries that voted in favor of UN General Assembly Resolution 1, including 26 African countries, the United Kingdom, France and Canada that have established diplomatic relations with China. Also on the list.

When talking about this matter, Fan Heng said to his son with some emotion, "Diplomacy costs money, but you must also see results after spending money. In the past, support for African countries was spared no effort and sacrifices were made. It’s a big deal, but without those efforts, how could we be as good as we are today? The strategy of national relations will never change.”

Fan Wubing didn't study the history carefully at that time. When he heard Fan Xin talk about it, he asked Bush, the United States representative to the United Nations at the time, whether he was the former President of the United States, Bush, who is also the current president. George W. Bush's father? .

Fan Heng nodded and replied, "Yes, Bush Sr. served as a naval pilot during World War II and performed bravely. Later, from 1971 to 1972, he served as the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations. When he was 1974, he became the director of the Liaison Office in China. Later he came to the United States to become the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and later became Reagan's vice president. Later, he became the president himself and trained his son to become the president. , this person is quite a character.

Fan Wubing thought to himself, it turns out that Bush Sr. started his career in intelligence work. After all, the director of the Liaison Office in China was actually specialized in intelligence work. As for the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, it goes without saying that they are responsible for the entire overseas intelligence work of the United States.

"But are you sure about dealing with Bin Russia?" Fan Heng asked his son. Fan Wubing replied, "Judging from the situation in front of the mouth." There are local forces who want to hold Putin back. That's why there are so many things and some problems. They are minor conflicts that naturally arise in bilateral trade. Generally speaking, they are not big problems. In fact, I went there this time to send money to Putin to help him defeat the opposition parties supported by Western countries and consolidate his power. Therefore, my trip to Russia was definitely deeply touched. welcome. "

"I hope so." Fan Heng said.

When talking about matters in Africa, both father and son have the same views. They believe that domestic enterprises cannot do without the support of the government if they want to expand overseas. However, the support of the government is now very limited, especially in the field of foreign-related laws. In terms of information and information, there is very little that can be done.

"The reason why foreign exchange reserves are just reserves is because they are not spent on purchased resources, and they have to import other people's finished products at high prices. So far, there is not a single case of China successfully acquiring large overseas mines. The few they have are basically the tailings of small mines. mine.

It is easy for domestic scholars to call for advice, but it is too difficult to implement it. Even fewer can recognize the shortcomings of China's soft power. If we cannot know ourselves and the enemy, how can we win? . Fan Heng shook his head and said, "I will raise this issue and set up a corresponding organization to do this work. After all, as time goes by, it is impossible for us not to develop overseas.

Fan Wubing deeply agreed with this situation. Just like the Westernization Movement in China at that time, many Chinese industrialists participated in it. Their economic strength could mobilize millions of taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money in the world at that time. However, they suffered losses in the competition with foreigners. The reasons behind this No one said it clearly because China's rulers were unwilling to use such soft power to weaken their own power.

Although a lot of progress has been made, this kind of awareness still exists among government officials, which is very bad.

The bottom line for Chinese people to do things is very low. When doing business, they do not pay attention to fairness but just leave when they see a profit. This is because China is an overly competitive society and the world has become an oligarchic economy.

For example, if word spreads about this cooperation project of Fan Investment Group, Immediately, many people will express their willingness to take over. What is certain is that the result of their purchase will be far inferior to the original agreement, which is the consequences of excessive competition.

Another point is that during this trip to Africa, the old overseas Chinese gave a lot of help. Overseas Chinese can still play a huge role at critical moments. Here we also need to reflect on the overseas Chinese policy. Is it inappropriate?

According to the traditional concept of the Chinese people, they are always expected to return to their country and repay their motherland. However, such a policy will make the living environment of overseas Chinese overseas very difficult, because the local society will exclude them and deny dual nationality. In fact, it also restricted the exhibition of many Chinese people.

In Africa, people from various European and American countries have dual nationality, because no one will give up their nationality for African nationality. But at the same time, if they do not have African nationality, their behavior in the local area will be greatly restricted. Africa's policy towards foreigners is different from China's. In China, it is basically a national discrimination policy. It is beneficial to have foreign status in the country, while in Africa, it is different. Including taxes are also different, which is the fundamental difference between the two.

In fact, the anti-colonial string in Africa is very tight, so anything without nationality will not go smoothly. Western countries' policy of using dual nationality has actually taken a huge advantage in the system, so it is very difficult to do anything without nationality. It is easy to understand why mainstream European and American countries recognize dual nationality.

However, the mainland's intolerant policy on the issue of dual nationality means that it is you who ultimately suffers.
