China has recovered territory that has been occupied for 70 years, and 3,560 people have now become Chinese nationals.
On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong threw itself into the arms of the motherland, and on December 20, 1999, Macao also returned to the embrace of the motherland.
In the days since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has never given up the work of recovering the forcibly occupied land. In 1961, China successfully recovered the town of Pianma on the southern border of Yunnan, which had been occupied by Britain and Burma for more than 70 years.
Today, more than 3,000 residents of this land have become Chinese citizens and have become real Chinese.
During the Qin Dynasty, China began to explore the southern part of Yunnan and incorporated it into the territory after Qin Shi Huang unified the country. After thousands of years of historical changes, various dynasties and generations have paid huge manpower and material resources for the governance of Yunnan.
Zhu Yuanzhang left his right-hand man Mu Ying in Yunnan, and the Mu family became the guardian of Yunnan until the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. In film and television dramas, Mu Wangfu is a descendant of Mu Ying, who was named the King of Qianning, and they became the leaders of the anti-Qing Dynasty.
Yunnan has been China's territory since ancient times, and during the Qing Dynasty, China's southern border had extended to Pianma Town, which was also coveted by colonialists.
During those turbulent years, the town of Pianma became a place of covetion for the colonial power, Britain. Britain, known as the "empire on which the sun never sets" due to its many colonies, was attracted by the abundance of Southeast Asia.
However, due to their lack of knowledge of the Qing Dynasty, the British chose to abandon the occupation of the town of Pianma after occupying Burma.
The two Opium Wars made the Western powers see the weakness of the Qing Dynasty, and Britain took the opportunity to occupy Pianma. In order to facilitate management, the British repeatedly asked the Qing to assign Pianma Town to Burma in order to legitimize the British occupation in Burma.
The British took advantage of the Sino-Japanese conflict at the end of the 17th century to put pressure on the Qing Dynasty, claiming that they would support Japan if the town of Katama was not assigned to them. However, Pianma's status was not as important as that of Hong Kong, so the British did not continue to put pressure on them, but only temporarily occupied the land.
We have reached an agreement with the United Kingdom to designate Pianma Town as an undemarcated area, which will not be under the jurisdiction of either China or Burma. The town of Pianma has become a region without sovereignty and administration, a remote territory of our country.
In the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, our country was defeated and Japan was victorious. Britain did not lend a helping hand, but secretly colluded with Japan. Our country can only accuse Britain of treachery by condemnation, but because of its weak national strength, it has failed to attract the attention of Britain.
After World War I, Japan, as one of the victorious powers, set its sights on the Western colony of Southeast Asia, and finally launched a war of aggression against Southeast Asia. Not only that, but Japan also launched a surprise attack on the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor.
The heroic performance of the United States in the war caused Britain, France and other countries to declare war on Japan one after another, and the expeditionary forces of Western countries also came to Southeast Asia to wage fierce battles with the Japanese army.
And not to be outdone, our country formed an expeditionary force and joined the war.
During this period, the town of Pianma became an important hub in Southeast Asia, connecting Yunnan and Myanmar, making Pianma an important base for Japan. A large number of materials and personnel rushed to the battlefield through the support of Katama, and thanks to the tenacious resistance of our expeditionary force, the Japanese divisions and regiments were never able to achieve stable occupation results.
In 1945, Japan was defeated, and China won a great victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. However, after the war, Chiang Kai-shek** violated the agreement, and China entered the period of the War of Liberation.
At the same time, Western countries began to return to Southeast Asia and resume colonial rule. However, the turmoil of the war led to the emergence of many armed forces everywhere.
These groups and organizations aspired to independent sovereignty and therefore engaged in fierce confrontation with the Western colonizers. The most famous event was the war against France in Vietnam, through which Vietnam established two regimes, the North and the South, and successfully freed itself from French colonial rule.
The British are playing tricks behind their backs, trying to assign Pianma Town to Myanmar and create a long-term contradiction between China and Myanmar. However, China has always adhered to peaceful consultations, and after several years of hard work, it finally succeeded in reassigning Pianma Town to China in 1961, safeguarding the territorial integrity of the country.
After the return of Pianma Town, China immediately dispatched a professional team to deal with the relevant return affairs, and handled the nationality change procedures for more than 3,000 local residents in the shortest possible time, so that they could be freed from statelessness and officially become legal citizens of China.
The repossession of Pianma Town not only boosted our national pride, but also further demonstrated our determination and ability to gradually recover the territories that had been divided by various means.
The root cause of a hundred years of humiliation lies in technological backwardness. The strength is not good, the robbers cannot fight back, and only the treaty of loss of power and humiliation can survive.
Since the Ming Dynasty, China has implemented a policy of closing the country, Western countries in the industrial revolution, our country is in the process of dynastic change, when the Western powers' strong ships and cannons landed in our country, we can only be forced to cede land for survival.
For nearly 200 years, China has been being oppressed by Western countries, and their national dignity and national dignity have been trampled on to worthlessness.
After the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we finally ushered in a new life, and a brand-new and independent new China stood tall in the east of the world. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party, we have worked hard to make the country strong, unflinching in the face of the oppression of the world's great powers, and constantly looking for development opportunities in the tense Cold War situation.
In the nineties of the last century, the collapse of the Soviet Union, as the leader of the once socialist state, shook the world. However, contrary to the expectations of some countries, our country has not been defeated by the suppression of the United States.
On the contrary, we have successfully withstood all kinds of pressure from the United States and moved forward. When the People's Republic of China was founded, China's rankings were not eye-catching in the world.
At present, China's total economic output has jumped to the second place in the world, more than four times that of Japan, which ranks third, second only to the United States, which ranks first in the world in military strength, and only slightly worse than Japan.
Before the Russian-Ukrainian war, there were still doubts that our country's military strength was inferior to Russia's, but this claim has been self-defeating.
However, with the end of the Russia-Ukraine war, Russia's performance in conventional warfare did not match its international standing, leading to a rapid decline in its international influence. In contrast, our country is a leader in many high-tech fields, and as our strength has increased, many of the territories that we once lost have been successfully reclaimed, and the international community has given us the respect we deserve.
1.A weak country has no diplomacy, and when a country lacks military strength, but has a vast territory and abundant resources, it will suffer endless bullying. However, once we wake up and start catching up, these become our best foundations.
2. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten"This is an eternal truth. If a country has a weak military but has a vast land and abundant products, it will be constantly bullied.
However, once we wake up and start trying to catch up, these become our best place to start. 3. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten"This sentence has not changed through the ages.
When a country has weak military strength but has vast land and abundant resources, it will suffer endless bullying. But once we wake up and start trying to catch up, these become our best place to start.
4. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten"This is the truth. If a country lacks military strength, but has a vast land and abundant products, it will be constantly bullied.
However, once we wake up and start trying to catch up, these become our best foundations. 5. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten"This is an eternal truth.
When a country is militarily weak, but has a vast land and abundant resources, it will suffer endless bullying. But once we wake up and start trying to catch up, these become our best place to start.
The current international situation is changing, and events such as the situation in the Taiwan Strait and the conflict between China and the Philippines have undoubtedly reminded us once again that the road ahead is still full of challenges, and there are many powerful forces that are trying to block our development and even vainly attempt to encroach on our territory and rights and interests.
However, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we must not stop moving forward and must unswervingly move forward. To this end, we must always adhere to the party's leadership and contribute our own strength to the development of the country and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
