Mugabe visited China in the year, and after sending off the guests, he predicted that he would suffer.
In 1985, Zimbabwean Prime Minister Robert Mugabe visited China for the second time and personally received him. During this meeting, Mugabe expressed his incomprehension and doubts about the reform and opening up policy proposed by the People's Republic of China.
In this regard, he patiently answered his questions and elaborated on the importance of reform and opening up. In addition to answering questions, he also gave a well-intentioned exhortation to Mugabe's philosophy of quick success and offered a series of suggestions for governing the country.
However, after Mugabe left, ** shook his head and said to the people around him: "This person does not listen to the advice of others, and he will definitely pay for it in the future." ”
Sure enough, as expected, Mugabe's quick success caused Zimbabwe to fall into economic difficulties. * What exhortations were given to Mugabe?
What are the consequences of Mugabe's quick success?
**In the 80s of the 20th century, he led China to implement reform and opening up, and explored a new path different from the traditional socialist system. During this period, many socialist countries were in trouble, while Third World countries chose to join the socialist camps such as the Soviet Union and China and learn from the Soviet system.
Although these measures have improved the quality of life and the economy of the people, the problems have gradually become apparent over time. However, China's reform and opening up has achieved remarkable results and presented a prosperous scene.
As a result, many African leaders, including Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, have visited China. Mugabe was a pioneer of Zimbabwe's liberation, and as a university he interacted with many national liberation leaders, and was deeply influenced by their ideas and began to devote himself to the national liberation movement.
However, since Zimbabwe was a colony, Mugabe did not have any connections and resources, his organization was dismantled, and he was thrown into prison.
A "** Anthology" changed the trajectory of the life of Mugabe, the father of Zimbabwe, and since then he has enshrined the best ideas as his beliefs, and led the liberation struggle of Zimbabwe.
After Zimbabwe's independence in the 70s, Mugabe hoped to build the country into a happy, advanced and open country. As soon as he took office, he took immediate action to introduce the land reform policy of *** into Zimbabwe to help long-oppressed blacks gain access to their land.
However, Zimbabwe has been a colony for a long time, and the land has lost its vitality, and it is not easy to revitalize the country. Although Mugabe was aware of the black people's desire for land, he did not realize that the social nature of Zimbabwe had not been completely separated from the colonial society, so he blindly introduced the theory of ***, which laid a hidden danger for Zimbabwe.
At the same time as the land reform, Mugabe also actively studied the international experience of socialist construction, hoping to provide help for the construction of his own country. And in that lifeless environment, only China is still vibrant.
So, in 1981, Mugabe made the decision to visit China. **I learned the news while dealing with the work at hand, which happened to be the beginning of China's reform and opening up, and the situation in the country had not yet stabilized.
**Reverence for Mugabe*** had long been heard, so he deliberately put down the business at hand and made many preparations to welcome the incoming black leader.
Mugabe arrived as promised and had a two-hour conversation with ***. In this conversation, it was found that Mugabe's understanding of socialism with characteristics and reform and opening up was not deep enough.
** stressed that China's reform must adhere to Marxism-Leninism and * * ideology, and told Mugabe: "To develop the productive forces, economic system reform is the only way to go."
China has taken a number of measures, and I am confident in this. ”
Mugabe could not understand the idea of ***, he believed that independent thinking was too one-sided, rigidly stuck at the socialist level, and did not understand flexibility. He questioned reform and opening up, arguing that it might take him off the path of socialism and toward capitalism.
** Explained that their reform and opening up is based on the premise of unswervingly adhering to socialism, and updating and optimizing the market system and traditional systems according to the actual national conditions, not tampering.
Mugabe was pleased with his adherence to the idea, but he was not convinced of his concept of reform and opening up, believing that traditional socialism was sacrosanct and could not be changed.
Therefore, after his visit to China, he did not listen to the advice of *** to carry out any reforms and adhered to the outdated socialist road. As a result, internal contradictions in Zimbabwe have intensified, and problems have arisen in the land reform system.
During Zimbabwe's land reform, white farmers used to account for more than 70 percent of the country's agricultural output. However, when land was transferred to oppressed blacks, they did not have the technology to make the most of it.
As a result, the remaining white farmers were unable to sustain agricultural production in Zimbabwe, leading to a sharp decline in the country's agricultural output and a decline in production efficiency. Against this backdrop, the whole country fell into famine, public order became unstable, and political corruption began to appear.
Despite China's assistance, Zimbabwe's economic development remains stagnant and the market has lost its vitality. The people's standard of living has fallen instead of rising, and Mugabe has begun to reflect on whether there is a problem with his system.
At the same time, China has prospered in reform and opening up, and Mugabe decided to visit China again to seek a new solution.
**In the early morning of August 28, 1985, wearing a light gray tunic, he stepped into the Fujian Hall of the Great Hall of the People. It was here that he hosted Mugabe, who visited China four years ago.
While waiting, the entourage and translators were asked about the development of Zimbabwe and Africa. Knowing that Mugabe still stood his ground after returning home,** said: "He doesn't seem to have come to his senses. ”
Then he lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and sat there in contemplation. Soon, the door opened, and Mugabe bared his white teeth and smiled warmly at ***. After the greetings, ** went straight to the point: "From 1949 to 1956, China developed very well, implementing a series of drastic reforms, such as land reform, five-year plans and socialist transformation. ”
When he heard the phrase "land reform," Mugabe was excited, because his supporters had joined the struggle in response to his slogan of "beating the whites, dividing the land."
He also implemented this policy of ***.
Changing the subject: "This boom continued into 1957, but then it changed. Mugabe listened attentively, and he knew what was going to be revealed next.
** It took a lot of time to summarize the problems and wrong decisions encountered after 1957 in the process of building New China, and learned experience and lessons. As a participant in this history, the words of ** are of great reference value to Zimbabwe, which is facing development difficulties and similar challenges.
While telling one of the details, ** raised his voice, emphasizing that this is the point and requires special attention. He said: "What I want to tell you is that no system can be blindly copied in isolation from national conditions, and this is not advisable. ”
Mugabe was puzzled by this, because he believed that the experience of socialist construction and the excellent system were universal, which is why he borrowed from the agrarian reform system.
He asked***Is the land reform system wrong? * Shaking his head: "The land reform system is for China, and if it is copied in Zimbabwe, it may not be applicable." ”
New Copy: * Explain to Mugabe the concept of China's reform and opening up, emphasizing that he will not deviate from the socialist path. Mugabe questioned this, but the conversation eventually moved on to other topics.
** Advise Mugabe to read Building Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and think it might provide the answers he needs.
** Mugabe was advised, but he did not listen, and as a result, Zimbabwe was in economic trouble.
Zimbabwe's economic system was devastated by severe inflation due to the inflow of money into the market, and despite Mugabe's best efforts, he failed to adapt to the trend of the times, did not actively listen to the advice of *** and worked out a system suitable for his country, and finally failed to withstand the impact of the times and suffered a failed ending.
China, on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, has achieved great success through reform and opening up, and its economic strength has jumped to the forefront of the world and achieved rapid economic development.
The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is still firmly pursued by China's leaders, and its light is still dazzling.
