Chinese are willing not to say, why do you say that you can represent Chinese!
At a United Nations conference in the 1950s, there was such a strange scene, a Chinese general was angry because another Chinese did not use Chinese. Today, Junwu Mushroom will talk to you about this story.
▲ General Wu Xiuquan
During this period, New China had just been established, its national strength was still relatively weak, China's legitimate seat had not yet been restored, and Chinese mainland and Taiwan temporarily formed a situation in which two Chinese representatives coexisted in the United Nations.
From November 28 to 29, 1950, the United Nations conference held a fierce debate on two topics, one was China's complaint of aggression against the United States, and the other was the case of the united States and Britain's accusation of China's "aggression" against the Republic of Korea.
▲The focus of the meeting
New China deputy Wu Xiuquan made a solemn speech on these two topics, on the one hand, he accused the United States of preventing the mainland from liberating Taiwan as an armed aggression that grossly interfered in China's internal affairs.
On the other hand, the so-called "Armed Aggression by China against the Republic of Korea" was severely refuted. The tone of his voice was fierce, and Wu Xiuquan, who argued on the basis of reason, left a deep impression on the representatives of various countries.

However, at the United Nations conference, which was dominated by the superpower of the United States, the situation was extremely unfavorable to China. On the 29th, the United States used its huge influence over the United Nations to arrange for the south Korean representative to speak first, while allowing the United Kingdom and other allies to create public opinion to collectively put pressure on China. In view of this, the new Chinese delegation took retreat as an advance and adopted the method of "cold treatment", protested, and refused to participate in the discussion.
The United States struck a heavy blow at the cotton, and the venue fell silent several times. As a small follower of the United States, how could the Taiwan authorities give up this opportunity to curry favor with the boss?
▲ Historian-turned-jiang Tingdian used The Following Words
In his speech, Jiang Tingdi (FÚ), a representative of the Taiwan authorities, defended the fact that the United States sent troops to invade Korea and exonerated the atrocities committed by the US military. He also pretended to take China's position and claimed that the United States had never interfered in China.
Although Taiwan's deputy, Chiang Ting-ting- and So-ye, claimed to represent "China" in his speech, he used English throughout his speech, completely forgetting the fact that Chinese was the official working language at the founding of the United Nations.

and Spanish in six working languages
Even when discussing issues with Chinese compatriots, Jiang Tingdian did not say a word of Chinese, and his eyes glanced at the Us side many times.

Jiang Tingquan's words and deeds made Wu Xiuquan feel very angry; China's position in the United Nations was bought by thousands of Chinese with the blood and sweat of other countries. When Jiang Tingdian finished speaking, Wu Xiuquan immediately asked the meeting to make an ad hoc speech.

He said indignantly: "I doubt whether this spokesman is Chinese, because the great forty-seven thousand five million Chinese the most commonly used Chinese language he does not want to use, he has no right to represent China."
▲ Wu Xiuquan's speech dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Tingdian
Chinese was one of the official languages at the time of the united Nations, and Wu Xiuquan expressed strong contempt for the English-speaking Representatives of Taiwan. In the two-hour speech that followed, Wu Xiuquan argued on the basis of reason and refuted and condemned the representatives of the United States and Taiwan on the basis of facts.
▲In order to better understand the world and enrich yourself
It is absolutely right for ordinary people to learn English or other foreign languages well
But on certain occasions, the official representative must be
It is necessary to maintain the status of the Chinese language
This was the first voice of New China on the stage of the United Nations, which won praise and applause from many countries.

The tough speeches of the new Chinese representatives against the world's superpowers also provoked retaliation from the other side, and on December 7, the United States manipulated the majority of the United Nations to pass a resolution to include a proposal that slandered China's "aggression" on the UNITED Nations agenda. The Chinese delegation left the room in anger after the adoption of this proposal, which had reversed black and white.

In those days, there were very few countries that dared to say no to the United States
On December 16, just as the Chinese delegation was about to leave the United States, the United States announced a freeze on Chinese assets in the United States, including funds brought by the Chinese delegation to the United States for deposit in local banks. Fortunately, because of the imminent return to China, most of the Chinese delegation's money has been withdrawn, and in the end only $680 was frozen there, with little loss.
▲Relying on its own strong military and economic strength
The freezing of the assets of other countries is still a superpower
Sanctions commonly used by the United States
Afterwards, some AMERICAN newspapers and periodicals commented: "The (new) China's diplomatic toughness is something that the Chiang Kai-shek administration cannot hope to match." ”
▲ General Wu Xiuquan's after-the-fact memories
At the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, even if Mr. Gu Weijun's speech won full applause, it still could not change China's international status, and at the 1950 United Nations conference, although General Wu Xiuquan passionately rebuked the slander of other countries, it was still difficult to reverse the passive situation of overall isolation.

History has repeatedly proved that the laws of the world have never changed, and that diplomats of weak countries, even if they are reasonable, cannot be crushed by the strength of powerful countries. Only by backing a prosperous, prosperous and powerful motherland can diplomacy truly play its part.
