When Nixon visited China in 1972, he saw the slogan "Down with US imperialism", and the three words ** were easily solved
In 1972, Nixon set foot on Chinese soil for the first time, but was unexpectedly confronted with an embarrassing scene at the airport. A brightly colored slogan "Down with American imperialism" catches the eye, and the handwriting is so clear that even people who do not understand Chinese can understand it. The sudden slogan made the pick-up staff nervous, after all, Nixon's visit to China heralded a historic turning point in Sino-American relations, and such a slogan seemed to convey a less friendly message.
When he was embarrassed, ** behaved calmly and calmly. He smiled and walked over to Nixon and whispered a few words to him. Nixon burst out laughing, and the atmosphere turned from tense to cheerful. It turned out that ** simply told Nixon: "Empty the cannon." What do these three words mean?Why did Nixon laugh when he heard this?
Despite Nixon's pragmatic and big-picture approach to international affairs, relations between China and the United States had been tense before he took office. However, Nixon believed that in order to pursue long-term development and interests, China and the United States must open the door to communication. This has ushered in a historic shift in Sino-US relations.
When it comes to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, an interesting story involves table tennis players. After the 1971 Table Tennis Championships, an American player mistakenly boarded a vehicle carrying Chinese table tennis players, triggering an unexpected encounter. Zhuang Zedong, a Chinese table tennis player, took the initiative to greet him and resolved the embarrassment. This chance encounter not only attracted widespread attention in the international community, but also laid an interesting foundation for the improvement of Sino-US relations.
Overall, the awkward situation was cleverly defused in three words, making Nixon's trip to China easy and enjoyable. This scene not only shows the wisdom and goodwill of the Chinese side, but also heralds an important change in China-US relations.
Nixon initially looked forward to his visit to China, believing that the friendliness and warmth of the Chinese would bring him some warmth, but he was shocked by the radical slogan "Down with American imperialism" when he landed. This made him wonder if China did not welcome his arrival
The scene was once embarrassed and overwhelmed by people. However, ** approached Nixon in a humorous tone, whispering, "Empty cannon." Subsequently, the premier added: "It's a bit like Chiang Kai-shek kept saying that he wanted to suppress the Communists, but he just paid lip service." * and *** succeeded in removing the awkward atmosphere with light-hearted and humorous language, and Nixon couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
At that time, ** was already very old, and the original plan was only a short meeting time of ten minutes. Surprisingly, however, the conversation between ** and Nixon was unusually pleasant, and both sides even spent an hour without realizing it. During the dialogue, the two leaders mainly discussed the international situation and future cooperation plans. When Nixon mentioned the Taiwan issue, he firmly stated that it was non-negotiable.
**'s statement is clear: there is no problem with Sino-US cooperation, but any intention to attack Taiwan is absolutely unacceptable. In the face of Nixon's resolute position, in order to maintain the overall situation of cooperation, he could only focus on win-win cooperation in accordance with the requirements of Nixon and avoid involving the Taiwan issue.
After the talks, Nixon was invited to a banquet prepared by Chinese chefs. A "toast" at the dinner symbolized the success of the talks, and China and the United States are about to start an "ice-breaking journey" together.
Nowadays, ** is no longer alive, however, whenever we trace history, we can always see the wisdom and mind of great men from one real story after another.
