Today marks the 50th anniversary of then-US President Richard Nixon's visit to China. At this point in time, the US media recalled nixon's visit to China and used it to talk about the development process of Sino-US relations and each other.
More American media directly discussed the significance of Nixon's visit to China with the theme of "China is the biggest beneficiary". The media also believes that the current tension between China and the United States planted the "seed" 50 years ago.
Faced with these views, Fu Limin, then the chief interpreter of US President Richard Nixon, said that he could not agree. He witnessed the situation in China during Nixon's visit to China and believed that these media were irresponsibly "talking nonsense."
On the last day of his visit to China, China and the United States issued a joint communiqué announcing the normalization of normal relations between the two countries, representing the friendly attitude of China and the United States toward international relations since then.
Although Nixon still maintained his "anti-communist" attitude after this visit to China, this undoubtedly proved that the rapid development of China after the war made him a little "worried".
Moreover, Nixon predicted as early as 1964 that the United States could not recognize Red China.
Now, Nixon's prophecy is being fulfilled. Nixon's attitude also represents the attitude of many US presidents toward China.
At the time Nixon uttered these words, the United States and the Soviet Union were in the midst of a Cold War, so the greatest "enemy" of the United States at that time should be the Soviet Union. But the United States put China in the position of opponent, which is not difficult to explain why Nixon later came to China to have a look.
In the more than two decades after the war, China's economy has gradually recovered, and the living conditions of Chinese people have become better and better. After coming to China once, Nixon became even more jealous of China.
Nixon later told Kissinger that "China will become a world power in the future."
But in the eyes of the American media at the time, Nixon's words were too "exaggerated".
Now, 50 years later, looking at China's economic and military strength and China's influence in the international community, the American media suddenly found that Nixon was right.
However, they do not see this as the result of China's own development, which is the "opportunity" created for China after Nixon's visit to China.
More American media said: The United States has raised tigers by itself.
The "tiger" in it, of course, refers to China. These American media believe that Nixon's exchanges with the Chinese government have allowed China to find the "trick" to enhance its economic and technological strength, which is why all aspects of China will develop so rapidly in just 50 years.
Fu Limin, the chief interpreter of the US president at the time, believed that these views were purely "nonsense" and "nonsense." Because, before Nixon went to China, although China was still in a stage of exploration and development, China at that time had already made small achievements on the road of development. At that time, China was no longer the country that the Western countries imagined that "the people were still in hot waters".
He believes that the US media is forcibly confusing the current Sino-US situation with Nixon's visit to China in that year. China's growing position in the international community today is not something that can be achieved in a few days of Sino-US diplomacy. It is also unreasonable for the U.S. government to now view China as a "competitor."
Fu Limin said in December that the United States should develop itself and improve its competitiveness, rather than keeping its eyes on China.
