In 1965, the famous British prime minister Churchill went to see God because of a stroke. After 22 years, Hong Kong was returned to China. Churchill couldn't see it. In 2013, Margaret Thatcher also went to see God, and it is estimated that Churchill must have scolded Thatcher in God.
As for Hong Kong, Churchill was adamantly opposed to the return of Hong Kong to China when he was alive, and even considered Hong Kong To be British. Not only did this person not want to return Hong Kong twice, but he even tried to split China twice. So Churchill has a good reputation in Western countries, but in China, his reputation is very bad, which is caused by his contempt for China and the division of China.
1. Arrogant and rude people
Churchill never visited China, and he was under the impression that China was hearsay, or seeing some historical and news materials. But Churchill looked down on China, and even hated China, which has been recorded in many sources, and the study is very strange.
Although Churchill never visited China, he had contacts with Chinese at international conferences when he was prime minister. He even arrogantly called "meeting Chinese the last tolerance." It turned out that in Churchill's eyes, China was like India. This was a factor that Churchill despised China.
It is also said that Churchill's extreme hatred of China is also the fault of extreme racist ideas. Churchill was born into the English nobility, he believed to shed the blood of the British nobility, and his ancestors made great contributions to England, and he was also awarded the title of Duke. Therefore, Churchill considered himself superior in Britain and looked down on Chinese. Whether it was India or China, Churchill considered it inferior to Britain and was an "inferior nation".
The British colonized India for more than 200 years, and later when India had a sense of independence, Gandhi launched a non-violent non-cooperation movement. Churchill never looked down on Gandhi, and he once said viciously: "Tie up Gandhi, throw him on the ground, and let the governor of India ride an elephant to trample Gandhi to death!" ”
Churchill was disgusted by the ongoing nonviolent movement in India, saying that he hated Indians the most, believing that Indians were incomprehensible, and that Indians were a group of cruel people who believed in a cruel religion.
When Churchill was first elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, there was a famine in India, and many Indians starved to death without food. Britain was the suzerainty of India, and Churchill did not help India in the slightest.
As the disaster in India continued to be severe, and a large number of Indians were starved to death, Churchill did not have the slightest pity, and even said sarcastically: "They have not controlled their fertility, and they have given birth to so many children, they will be poorer and poorer." Perhaps the famine also optimized india's population. ”
Churchill was so cold-blooded, but the Indians didn't hate him very much. This may be the servility of India from its long-term enslavement.
It is understandable that britain colonized India, and Churchill looked down on India, but Churchill actually looked down on China. He even considered China a "barbaric country", not a "civilized country", and he also believed that Britain should "control the Chinese".
When Japan invaded Southeast Asia, China went to Burma to fight. But after Japan asked Britain to close the Burma Highway and cut off external channels for aid to China, Churchill agreed to Japan's request. From Churchill's approach, he should be tried in Tokyo as a war criminal.
If it were not for the anti-fascist alliance between China and Britain during World War II, I am afraid that Churchill's heart to kill me still exists.
2. Refusal to return Hong Kong
When the War of Resistance Against Japan was scorching, Japan invaded and occupied Hong Kong. At that time, our government thought that Hong Kong could be taken back. So he proposed to the United States and Britain to abolish the unequal treaties previously imposed on China.
Then-US President Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed to the Chinese proposal and informed Britain. The United States wanted Britain to abrogate the unequal treaty with China for the sake of the anti-fascist alliance. But Churchill thought that only part of it could be abolished, and Hong Kong continued to be run by britain.
My Government is dissatisfied with Churchill's arrogance and accuses him of violating the anti-fascist situation. Churchill believed that Britain would not give up any land.
At that time, considering the World War II alliance, the old Chiang kai-shek government could only compromise. In 1943, the anti-fascist war was constantly victorious in Europe, Asia and other places, and in September 1943, the Axis power Italy surrendered first.
Faced with an anti-fascist situation, The United States and Britain met in Cairo in November 1943, when Chiang thought hong Kong could be taken back. My country invites United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt to persuade Churchill. Roosevelt, as an intermediary, told Churchill that Hong Kong belonged to China and that Britain should return it to China. Unexpectedly, Churchill immediately rejected Roosevelt, and said that as long as he became prime minister, he would not return Hong Kong, and considered Hong Kong to be "British territory".
3. Split China
Churchill's two refusals to return Hong Kong were in effect a split in China. In addition, Churchill also had bad intentions and wanted to divide China elsewhere. In May 1943, the Pacific Conference was held in Washington, and at the meeting, Churchill actually mentioned the Chinese Tibet issue. After the meeting, Roosevelt asked Churchill why he raised the Question of Tibet in China for no reason.
And Roosevelt repeatedly warned Churchill that Tibet had always been Chinese territory, had been, was, and was, irrelevant to Britain. Unexpectedly, Churchill thought that China had "no real power" in Tibet at that time. But Churchill's questioning was pushed back by Roosevelt, who believed that China's Tibet had nothing to do with Britain.
In fact, as early as the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the British spied on Tibet. After the Opium War, in 1888, the British governor in India sent British troops to invade Tibet. In 1904, another army was sent to invade. It also forced the Qing government to sign an unequal treaty.
In 1907, the British actually called China's sovereignty in Tibet not "suzerainty" and wanted to divide China again. The British were even manipulating the secession from China in Tibet.
After chiang kai-shek came to power, he saw the British's intentions, so he sent people to Tibet, and after the War of Resistance Against Japan in China, little attention was paid to Tibet affairs, so the British wanted to take the opportunity to split again.
At the Pacific Conference held in the United States, Churchill first raised the matter of Tibet, believing that China was ready to attack Tibet, and Churchill also took the opportunity to call Tibet an "independent country."
In doing so, Churchill openly split China, which is the other side of his hatred of China. Regarding Churchill's hatred of China and the division of China, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, no one condemned Churchill and actually praised Churchill as a great hero of World War II.
Churchill did not recognize the Question of British Colonies, and even considered them to be British territory. It was also believed that the British were a higher race and that they were helping the local natives in backward areas.
Churchill also regarded China as an uncivilized people, believing that China should be "colonized" by whites. Churchill's extreme racist claims should have sent him to the Geneva tribunal for trial.
After the war, Churchill resigned as Prime Minister. But he still hates China.
In April 1949, when our army was preparing to launch a campaign to cross the river, the British let the warships stop on the Yangtze River, and repeatedly warned the British to withdraw. But I didn't expect the British warships to provoke our army. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battle to cross the river, our army decisively launched an attack on the British ships.
After this incident, Churchill, who was far away in Britain, actually clamored for a British aircraft carrier to go to China. Churchill has already said that it does not count, that is, it is too much to talk about. But if Churchill had stepped down, he would not have dared to give orders, and England would have long since reached dusk.
