In 1971, the United States officially announced that Nixon would make an official visit to China in 1972. As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in Japan. Under pressure, Japan's Eisaku Sato was forced to visit China. Unexpectedly, ** angrily said: He is not worthy of being friends with us!
In 1945, after the end of the 14-year-long War of Resistance Against Japan, relations between China and Japan became very bad.
In the early days of his tenure, Sato refused Chinese representatives to attend the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of Japan, obstructed the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations, and disrupted Sino-Japanese exchanges, and even had close contacts with Taiwan.
During his eight years of reign, he visited the Jinguo Shrine many times without the slightest sign of repentance, which led to the continuous deterioration of relations between China and Japan.
With the changes in the international political situation, China's comprehensive national strength is getting stronger and stronger.
In 1971, Nixon directly proposed to visit China without telling Japan anything, and it was not until a few minutes before Nixon expressed his intention that Japan learned that China and the United States were about to resume diplomatic relations.
This made Japan's Sato, who was obedient to the United States, "dumbfounded", and he never expected that their allies would actually "mutiny."
Sato, who learned the truth, could no longer sit still, and he immediately realized that the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Japan was the general trend.
Subsequently, a large number of reporters questioned Sato and strongly demanded the restoration of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations. Under pressure, Sato had no choice but to request a visit from China.
In the face of Sato Esaku's request, ** directly said angrily: "How can this kind of person be worthy of being friends with us!."”
** even said to Japan**: "In view of Prime Minister Sato's various acts of hurting the feelings of the Chinese people and repeatedly going back on his word, China does not want to establish diplomatic relations with Sato**!"”
Subsequently, Sato's cabinet established a diplomatic corps with diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and also brought a letter from Sato himself.
During the talks, Chinese diplomats received them. Following the instructions of the leader, the diplomat responded in a serious manner: "This letter lacks sincerity, the attitude is ambiguous, the position is unclear, and if you want to make friends with China, you should not use an ambiguous attitude".
This reply embarrassed the Japanese delegation.
The representative of Japan asked: "Why does China reject Japan and welcome the United States?"”。
The diplomat made a generous statement: "China and the United States have met many times before, and the talks have gone well, and the United States has always been willing to visit China. Unlike Sato, Japan was not sincere at the beginning, and it was only after learning of the US visit to China that China was unwilling to establish diplomatic relations with Sato's cabinet. ”
The diplomat's message is clear: China is reluctant to establish diplomatic relations with the Sato cabinet, but it is not unwilling to establish diplomatic relations with Japan.
When the news of the diplomat's refusal to accept the secret letter of Sato's cabinet reached Japan, it immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese people.
The Sato cabinet has also been strongly attacked by **, which marks the complete failure of the Japanese Sato cabinet's plan for a diplomatic visit to China.
At this time, the position of the Sato cabinet became precarious in the country. He was too weak to return to heaven.
In July 1972, Sato officially submitted his resignation, which meant that the era that belonged to Sato was over.
It is precisely because of the tough attitude and strong patriotic feelings of the Chinese leaders that foreign forces have not been given any opportunity to suppress them.
A strong motherland will always be our strongest backing, and our generation should be self-reliant, remember history, and work hard. Encouragement!
