Great Chairman Mao, thank you Chairman Mao! Establish China s international status with a theory

Mondo History Updated on 2024-03-07

China is the pride of a third world country, and over the decades, China's international status has been greatly enhanced. Politically, as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, China is unique among more than 130 countries in the Third World. Economically, China's GDP ranks second in the world and is expected to become the world's largest this century.

Is China still a third world country today?

To understand the ins and outs of the "three worlds", we must first start with the classic theoretical innovation of the great leader. ** The definition of the "three worlds" is based on political tendencies as the main basis for dividing the three worlds.

In this theory, the United States and the Soviet Union are divided into the first world, countries such as Japan, Europe, and Canada are classified as the second world, and all countries in Asia except Japan, as well as all of Africa and Latin America, are classified as the third world.

This is the strategic thinking on the division of the three worlds, which was elaborated by Comrade ** at the Sixth Special Session of the United Nations in 1974.

In his speech at the UN General Assembly, Comrade Xiaoping put forward the characterization of the United States and the Soviet Union, which are the source of a new world war as the largest international exploiters and oppressors in the world today.

** The important terms "international exploiters" and "oppressors" were emphasized. This view is well founded. In the seventies, the international situation changed significantly.

The rivalry between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, reached a peak in terms of military power, and the United States' long-standing strategy of "long-arm jurisdiction" led it to go further and further in terms of foreign expansion, but in the end it was mired in the Vietnam War and its strength was seriously weakened.

The Soviet Union seized the opportunity to accelerate the pace of arms expansion, rapidly surpassed the United States in military strength, and was developing in a direction favorable to the Soviet Union. Faced with the threat to its status as the "number one in the world," the United States adjusted its foreign policy and began to implement a "strategy of contraction," while at the same time trying to open up relations between China and the United States and establish a "circle of friends" that was unfavorable to the Soviet Union, so as to get out of Vietnam as soon as possible and hold its position in Europe.

In the fifties and sixties of the last century, the United States and the Soviet Union controlled the whole world, the United States and the Soviet Union each controlled a group of little brothers, and most of the Western European countries and Canada and other countries were pulled into "NATO" by the United States, and the scepter of "NATO" was tightly held in the hands of the Americans.

In terms of the Warsaw Pact, the Soviet Union controlled most of the Eastern European countries and was the leader of the Warsaw Pact. In such an environment of fierce international confrontation, it is difficult for China to stand alone.

Because China adheres to the doctrine of "non-alignment", it cannot join "NATO"; The presence of U.S. troops in South Korea and Japan poses a serious threat to our country; On the other side of the strait, Chiang Kai-shek still wanted to "** the mainland", and the United States supported the Kuomintang army to harass our coastal areas; The U.S.-backed South Vietnamese regime and the U.S.-British-backed India put tremendous pressure on me; In addition, the United States has imposed a severe blockade on me.

Since the Soviet Union always wanted to treat China as a vassal state, China could not join the "Warsaw Pact", which did not conform to the position of *** and New China. Maintaining "independence" is the principle that we have always adhered to, whether it is "inducement" or "coercion", we have adhered to the bottom line on this issue, and there is no room for compromise.

With the international situation grim and our country almost surrounded by hostile forces, we must face the problem of how to find our international position and break out of the siege of the United States and the Soviet Union.

He was soberly aware that the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, were the most dangerous "international exploiters" and "oppressors," while most other countries were their "followers."

However, it is keenly aware that the superpowers and their vassals are not monolithic. Through his analysis, he found that the countries of the second world are not simply vassals, and they also have their own national interests.

Therefore, it is necessary to separate these countries as second worlds. In the international situation that seems to be unfavorable to China, ** sees the subtle factors in favor of China, and he knows how to "see the essence through the phenomenon".

This is the fundamental reason why *** is great.

** When receiving friends from Asia, Africa and Latin America, he classified China and other countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America as third world countries. This is because, although the United States controlled countries such as NATO and Japan, and the Soviet Union controlled Eastern European countries, this does not mean that they are all there is to the world.

There are also many developing countries in the world, including the countries of "Asia, Africa and Latin America", who have become independent and sought liberation after World War II. These countries were dissatisfied with the control and demands of the United States and the Soviet Union, and their desire for independence and anti-oppression was very strong.

At the same time, these countries also have a strong sense of national self-esteem and a desire to develop their economies. Although they are relatively weak, they can form a powerful synergy as long as they are properly guided.

** Aware that these developing countries, despite their poverty and backwardness, are still part of the international community and have the right to vote on many occasions. Therefore, he positioned China as a socialist and developing country, as well as a third world country.

This division closely links China and third world countries. When meeting with Algeria, he humorously said that China is a third world country, because its politics and economy are not as good as those of big and rich countries, and it can only walk with these poor countries.

Many friends know that ** often "speaks amazingly" when meeting foreign guests, and will also seem to inadvertently say a "warning message". In order to let the countries of "Asia, Africa and Latin America" clearly see the overall situation of the world, especially the essence of the two superpowers, ** said when receiving foreign guests that superpowers are the main source of unrest and turmoil in the world.

They practice hegemonism and power politics, bullying the small with the big, bullying the weak with the strong, and pressing the poor with the rich. These words were deafening and soon spread throughout "Asia, Africa and Latin America" through foreign guests.

Asian, African and Latin American" friends empathize with ***'s words. Like China, the countries of "Asia, Africa and Latin America" have suffered greatly from great power chauvinism and colonialism.

As the most populous country in the world and the birthplace of the "Three Worlds" theory, China has naturally become the "leader" of third world countries. The countries of "Asia, Africa and Latin America", which have been bullied by major powers, have finally found a "mother's home" that they can trust and rely on.

In the minds of the people of "Asia, Africa and Latin America", the great leader of the Chinese people and the creator of the "Three Worlds Theory" is like the "old lady's uncle" who upholds justice and loves to fight against grievances.

After the "Three Worlds Theory" was widely accepted by the international community, China's series of actions in the international arena have inspired the sense of dignity and belonging of the people of "Asia, Africa and Latin America".

According to the "Three Worlds Theory", China's foreign policy embodies the following characteristics: First, China takes promoting the unity of third world countries as its own responsibility and resolutely supports the struggle of third world countries against hegemonism; Second, China has always been striving to win over second-world countries and support them in opposing interference, oppression and control by superpowers. Third, in the struggle against the hegemonic acts of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, China has always stood on the high plane of safeguarding the overall situation of world peace.

While safeguarding China's national interests and interests, China has done its best to safeguard the common interests of third world countries. China's diplomatic theme of opposing hegemonism has also received enthusiastic response and positive support from the vast number of developing countries.

** once wittily said, "It was the black brothers who brought us into the United Nations." There is a way to "get more help from the righteous, and less help from the unjust". Facts have proved that the "Three Worlds Theory" has been recognized and supported by many "Asian, African, and Latin American" countries.

China has always stood on the side of third world countries, actively opposed hegemonism, and promoted world peace and development.

China's Restoration of its Lawful Seat in the United Nations: The Essence of the Three Worlds and Its Diplomatic Strategy China's diplomatic strategy can be distilled into six words: "Station."

III. And. Second, split one".

Among them, "standing three" means that we work closely with the third world, because we consider the third world to be our "basic plate". * It has been said, "Make our friends as many as possible, and make our enemies few." ”

This is the core idea of China's foreign policy, which is to divide enemies by working closely with friends. And "and."

"2. Splitting one" expresses the flexibility of China's foreign policy, that is, in its dealings with the first and second worlds, it is looking for breakthroughs and friends.

Western politicians highly praised the "Three Worlds Theory", believing that it was unfathomable and clever, and through this strategy, the United States and the Soviet Union were isolated, and the countries of the third world also established close relations with us.

When meeting with Nixon in the United States, he mentioned his "Three Worlds Theory" and said that this theory has enhanced China's international status. This is because the Third World includes most of the countries in the world and represents the largest population in the world.

As a member of the Third World, China is a natural representative of the Third World. Why is *** so great? Because the diplomatic strategy he formulated not only influenced China, but also changed the international landscape.

Although the "Three Worlds Theory" was born in 1972, the diplomatic thinking of China is still the basic strategy of China's diplomacy. The rapid development of China's economy and the tremendous changes in the face of the country have not changed China's understanding of itself as a member of the Third World.

As a responsible developing country, China has always stood with the vast number of third world countries. This is also an important reason why China can still stand firm in the face of all kinds of difficulties and pressure from the United States.
