Please click "Follow" and let's learn more about the history together. In April 1954, the members of the Chinese delegation led by ** were about to go to Indonesia to attend the Bandung Conference, but when they passed through Hong Kong, Chiang Kai-shek's spies spared no expense to buy airport personnel and attempted to assassinate them by creating an air crash.
Shockingly, the plane, named "Kashmir Princess", was over the South China Sea in advanced Sabah**, and all dozens of people on board were tragically killed.

The leaders of Taiwan's secret services waited with anticipation for the news of the air crash, but they never expected that there was no prime minister in this man-made air crash.
As fate would have it, the prime minister received an invitation from several leaders of the countries that initiated the Bandung conference before his trip, and temporarily changed his itinerary, first going to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, for a meeting, and then to Indonesia.
Fortunately, ** and others arrived at the venue of the Bandung meeting on time. The situation is delicate at this time, and many participating countries are closely watching China's attitude.
In the tense meeting scene, ** still remained calm and sane. He used the break to re-prepare his speech and elaborate on the topic in clear and concise words, making the 18-minute presentation the climax of the meeting and laying the foundation for the success of the meeting.
Many of the journalists present reported on ***'s wonderful speech at length, expressing high praise for his noble personal qualities, and even his political enemies had to be impressed by him.
The Bandung Conference, also known as the Asian-African Conference, was attended by delegations from 28 countries** and representatives of a national liberation organization. At that time, the People's Republic of China had just been founded, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between us was mainly concentrated in the socialist countries of Eastern Europe.
In order to break this situation, we seized the moment and participated in this meeting with determination. **The Prime Minister's Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence have demonstrated the image of China's peaceful diplomacy, strengthened our ties with Asian and African countries, and laid the foundation for the establishment of mutual relations in the future.
At the Bogor Conference in 1954, only eight Asian countries had diplomatic relations with China, including Ceylon, one of the five initiators. Although China is a big country, the development trend of relations between China and Asian and African countries is very bad due to the sabotage of the hostile forces led by the United States at that time and the constant smearing of Taiwan.
Therefore, if New China wants to change this situation, it is bound to make tremendous efforts. However, for Thailand, the Philippines, South Vietnam and other countries, although we have ** exchanges, but we have not even established ** relations.
Therefore, we need to strengthen diplomatic exchanges with other countries more actively to promote regional peace and development.
For many Asian and African countries, they have a negative view of the new China because of their relationship with the United States. On the contrary, these countries recognized the status of the Chiang Kai-shek faction in Taiwan and established various contacts with them.
Even the Taiwan authorities at that time exchanged "ambassadors" with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Turkey, and other countries. On the eve of the meeting, the "embassy" in Thailand maintained diplomatic relations at the chargé d'affaires level.
These U.S. forces, which support Taiwan, tried to interfere in Cambodia's internal affairs through the South Vietnamese Baoda regime, but Cambodia did not respond in time. And those Taiwanese henchmen who did not have the right to national independence, in order to maintain their international status, even recognized the independence of Libya in 1951.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to enhance our international status, we actively developed diplomatic relations with other countries and set up more embassies and consulates. In the international community, there is a grand conference initiated by five countries, the Bandung Conference.
The convening of this conference was the result of the efforts of many emerging countries to free themselves from colonialism on a global scale. However, during this period, Western countries, led by the United States, launched a Cold War challenge to socialist countries in order to safeguard their colonial interests.
In the severe situation of confrontation between the two sides of the meeting, due to everyone's perseverance,"The spirit of Bandung"It has pointed out the direction for building a new type of international relations. However, the process of the Asian-African Conference has not been smooth sailing. "
Kashmir Princess"The incident shocked people, and before the meeting began, *** and his party were assassinated. And then, Indonesian"Iron Blood"Collusion with local terrorist forces with the intention of sabotaging the conference and carrying out assassination attempts.
At the same time, the US forces hiding in the shadows have resolutely not given up their sabotage actions. Towards the end of the meeting, there were representatives of the state who attacked socialist China.
Everyone looked nervously at the Chinese delegation, but instead of backing down, the Chinese side fought back violently.
Zhou Anlai had just undergone appendicitis surgery before leaving the country, but he did not reduce his workload because of this, but took his unhealed body to many meetings. In order to open up a new situation, during the eight-day conference, he actively met with leaders of many countries, held a number of banquets, and made a large number of friends for China with his energy beyond ordinary people.
On the second day of the meeting, ***, who was supposed to be the first to speak, did not speak for a long time, and in the face of constant doubts, he repeatedly deliberated on the wording and did not speak until four o'clock in the afternoon.
He said firmly: "We are here to seek common ground while reserving differences and seeking unity. This sentence immediately relieved the tense atmosphere.
With its unique soothing tone and concise words, it dissects various ideologies and social systems. Based on facts, he dispelled everyone's speculation and misunderstandings with solid evidence.
Sincerity and gentleness are the most charismatic traits of ***, and he has dispelled the doubts of many countries with his sincere attitude and superb diplomatic skills. Although his body has not fully recovered, he only sleeps two or three hours a day during the meeting, and the high-intensity work has made his entourage admire.
In the second stage of the meeting, the Prime Minister of Ceylon interfered in China's internal affairs on international occasions, and even openly advocated-for-tat, expressed resolute opposition, and rationally inquired about the position of the Prime Minister of Ceylon.
Subsequently, ** issued the famous 69-character statement at the G-8 luncheon, reiterating China's sovereign position on Taiwan in concise and clear language, which was highly praised by the international community.
** At the banquet, he took a firm attitude and firmly believed that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China and that no country or individual has the right to interfere.
At critical moments, the prime minister did not hesitate to put national affairs first, and he even sacrificed his own rest time for the smooth running of the meeting. In the morning, when the guards came to wake him up, he insisted on holding a meeting first and settling important matters before eating.
Despite the accident that day and the two groups had an argument, he always showed up as an impartial mediator and did not have a quick sandwich to fill his stomach until the afternoon.
At the end of the meeting, many countries had achieved satisfactory results. Everyone present could feel the enthusiasm and sincerity of the Prime Minister. The prime minister was then invited to a number of receptions, each of which he toasted before hurriing away.
His actions have once again proved his responsibility and commitment.
At a cocktail party, the prime minister returned to the car before he could adjust it. The first guest he invited was Prince Sihanoirk, whom he had just met. The prime minister did not despise the prince because he came from a small country, but took the relationship very seriously.
He prepared authentic Chinese dishes for the prince, attracted him with Chinese flavors, and then conquered him with power at banquets. So much so that for the rest of his life, the prince was very glad to have met the erudite ***
According to the statistics of careful people, ** in 7 days, he was busy attending 16 important meetings, holding 10 meetings and conversations in various forms, and holding 15 banquets.
At the banquet, he rarely talks about *** issues, but sees it as a gathering of ordinary friends, and his personal charm is always able to make everyone deeply attracted to him and unconsciously become his confidant.
During those seven days, he slept only 13 hours. Such dedication and sacrifice have also been handsomely rewarded. In the following years, China's relations with Asian and African countries have made major breakthroughs and developed rapidly, and dozens of countries in China's vicinity have also established diplomatic relations with China.
At the same time, during this meeting, the first contact between China and Japan after the war took place.
In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's main diplomatic partners were the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, but only a very few countries established diplomatic relations with China. Most countries still maintain "diplomatic relations" with the Kuomintang in Taiwan.
In the context of the global Cold War, African countries can only learn about other countries through news reports from Western countries, which are often distorted and distorted by fear and misunderstanding of China's power.
In the past history, there are some facts that have been maliciously distorted, such as the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the War to Resist France after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which have been mistakenly regarded as our interference in the internal affairs of other countries.
Some countries are also concerned about our shelling of Kinmen in 1954, believing that it may exacerbate tensions in Asia and pose a threat to our side. However, the ** statement tells the truth, that is, the Chinese people have always pursued peace and hope that all countries can put aside their prejudices and solve problems together.
Recognize that many countries are cautious about China due to their nature, ideological differences, and propaganda by hostile forces. In order to resolve this problem, he actively sought proximity to other countries, emphasizing that China, like many Asian and African countries, had been subjected to colonial aggression and was now facing the problem of economic development.
On the issue of overseas Chinese, he firmly stated that the majority of overseas Chinese love peace and will not do anything to undermine the relations between the two countries. To this end, he has also signed relevant treaties with Indonesia.
The friendly consultation between China and Indonesia has set a good example for Asian and African countries to resolve difficulties. In the preparatory stage for the conference, we noted that there are many Muslim countries, and in order to show respect, the Chinese delegation specially invited the vice president of the Islamic Association as an adviser.
**Emphasizing that China is a country of freedom of belief and that we respect and treat Muslims with the utmost kindness. The effort to dispel many doubts in these details has even led Lebanon to say that while there are still differences, in some respects it has unexpectedly established intimate relations.
**Adhering to the spirit of generosity and tolerance, he took the initiative to contact Tatsunosuke Takasaki, the head of the Japanese delegation, and had two in-depth conversations. After facing the cordial greetings and ignoring the past suspicions, Takasaki deeply felt the generosity and generosity of the first, and he was determined to establish friendly relations between China and Japan in his lifetime.
This meeting has also become a symbol of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, and since then, the frequent exchanges between China and Japan have become a milestone in the development of relations between the two countries.
On the eve of the Bandung meeting, the prime minister personally went to the airport to meet Nasser, who at that time was interested in buying from China because of the complicated situation in the Middle East. After learning about the situation, the prime minister suggested that he buy ** from the Soviet Union, and said that China would also provide corresponding help.
A little later, the Egyptian delegation received a message from the USSR. Since then, Egypt has changed its attitude and actively developed relations with China and the Soviet Union, and this "positive neutralism" has greatly promoted the national independence movements of African countries.
At the same time, China and Egypt have also strengthened cooperation in economic, political, cultural and other exchanges.
In 1956, the Egyptian authorities sincerely recognized the status of New China on the international stage, and at the same time, it also resolutely and resolutely ended all ties with the Kuomintang in Taiwan.
Such a move makes Egypt the first African country to establish diplomatic relations with China. In this historic breakthrough, with his outstanding leadership and patient diplomatic strategy, he successfully led the Bandung Conference, making this conference an important milestone in the history of Chinese diplomacy.
This breakthrough not only opens up a new diplomatic landscape for China, but also allows the world to gain a deeper understanding of the real China on another platform.
