The United States made an unreasonable request to visit China, why did *** refuse, but Deng Gong agreed? At the end of April 1984, the United States ** Reagan visited China, and before that, the United States put forward some requirements, such as ** must take a special plane in the United States.
For such an unreasonable move,There was also a previous visit to China when Nixon visited China, and *** immediately refused.
But after Reagan made a request this time, Deng Gong, who was the country's leader at the time, agreed.
Why is that?
At the end of April 1984, Reagan, then the United States, prepared to visit China.
Since he and his wife are both actors, they are not familiar with foreign affairs,It is also the first and most likely the only visit to China, so Deng Gong attaches great importance to it.
The U.S. side proposed that after Reagan came to ChinaWhen visiting places such as Xi'an and Shanghai, you also need to take your own special plane.
In addition, the United States has requested the delivery of two additional aircraft***For accompaniment** visits within China, otherwise you can only cancel the arrangement to visit the Great Wall and Xi'an.
Whether you want to agree to this unreasonable request, ** don't dare to make up your mind, you can only ask Deng Gong.
At that time, Deng Gong considered the overall situation of Sino-US relationsThis is the first visit to China by the United States after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, which is of great significance, so Deng Gong finally agreed to the United States' request.
However, Deng Gong also raised a pointWhen a US plane flies in China, it must have a Chinese navigator on board.
In this way, the two sides reached an agreement, and many interesting things happened during Reagan's visit to China.
After Reagan and his wife Nancy arrived in China, the chairman first hosted a banquet for Mr. and Mrs. Reagan at Diaoyutai.
The banquet is mainly Fujian cuisineIt is mainly seafood, but there are also some vegetables.
At that time, Reagan was in front of a plate of scrambled eggs, and when he saw a plate of crabs in front of the translator in front of him but did not move his chopsticks, he quietly communicated with the translator.
I learned that the other party is allergic to crabsReagan happily swapped the dishes in front of the two of them and feasted on the crab.
On the other side,In the case of Mrs. Reagan, Nancy, there is also an interesting incident.
As the host, the Chinese side must give gifts to the Reagan coupleWhen choosing a gift for Nancy, our country decided to give Nancy a red cheongsam in the name of the chairman's wife.
The cheongsam is embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, Nancy looks very slim on her body, and her ** is very white, which is very suitable for red.
About this gift,Our staff explained to Nancy that in ancient times, only the emperor and queen could wear dragon and phoenix patterns, and Nancy, as the first lady of the United States, could naturally wear them.
In the learnedIn ancient China, 9 was used as the largest number, and the dragon and phoenix could embroider up to nine piecesNancy was curious about itI began to count how many dragon and phoenix patterns I had on my body, and the atmosphere at that time was very harmonious.
Reagan's visit to China also ended smoothly, but in response to the unreasonable demands made by the US side many times, what did you do at the beginning?
Before Nixon's visit to China in 1972, he also proposedThey have to fly into China's airspace on their own special planes, and at the same time they have to transport their own bulletproof vehicles with them.
Although Nixon's visit to China at that time meant a change in Sino-US relations, butOut of consideration of national sovereignty, the US side still rejected this request.
In the opinion of ***,At that time, China and the United States did not have diplomatic relations, and although Nixon's visit was of great significance, China already had independent sovereignty and would never allow planes from other countries to enter its airspace.
After that, ** proposed that Nixon could take his own plane when he arrived in ChinaAfter Nixon arrived in China, he also rode in our domestically produced Hongqi car.
On the same event, the reason why *** and the Deng Guild have different decisions,It's all decided according to the times and circumstances.
When Nixon arrived in ChinaThe two sides have not yet established diplomatic relations, although China intends to break the ice with the United States, but the attitude it should have is still to be put out, so it will refuse.
And the reason why Deng Gong agreed to the request of the US sidePurely because the two countries have established diplomatic relations, for friendly purposes.
