Chapter 353: The Asian Version of the Monroe Doctrine After hearing that US Secretary of State Lasker agreed with Li Dawei¡¯s proposal, he expressed that the United States is willing to discuss and resolve the current relationship between China and the United States with an attitude of responsibility between China and the United States for the entire world. problems faced. Marshal Chen Yi put down his tense face, smiled, and said: "This is the attitude of the enemy to solve the problem." Then Mr. Chen very frankly put forward China's solution to the current tension between China and the United States. Principled position: "China and the United States are both major countries with pivotal influence in the world. Both China and the United States should respect each other's core interests. China does not want to dominate the world. China only requires that China's core interests must be the same as those of the United States. To be respected, China's strategic security must be guaranteed as well as that of the United States. This is a prerequisite for improving the current tense relations between China and China. [] China requires the United States to dismantle all nuclear weapons deployed in South Korea that threaten China's core interests and China's national security. As well as related facilities, all U.S. troops stationed in South Korea must unconditionally withdraw from South Korea; at the same time, the military advisory team in South Vietnam must be withdrawn. In short, all U.S. military personnel and equipment stationed in Asia in various forms and names must be withdrawn. , Stop interfering in Asian affairs. Asian affairs should be solved by the Asians themselves. There is no need for the United States to travel thousands of miles to participate in Asian affairs. This is our most basic request." "No, no, no," no. When Foreign Minister Chen Yi's words came to light, US Secretary of State Rusk said three nos to China's conditions. The United States has never hidden its hegemonic ambitions and its role as an international policeman. Although Lasker does not agree with deploying nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula and actively provoking China, he is also very unwilling to let the United States withdraw from the stage in Asia. At the very least, he should get some benefits, so he immediately bargained and said: "Mr. Foreign Minister, your price is too high. We can consider withdrawing from South Korea what you think are nuclear weapons and related facilities, but our The military must stay on the Korean peninsula to ensure peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and fulfill our American responsibilities and obligations to our Asian friends.¡± ¡°Mr. Secretary of State, it is exactly the opposite of what you said, you and the United States are **. The presence of the troops on the Korean Peninsula is the most unstable factor affecting the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula." Foreign Minister Chen Yi was generous and said without giving in: "Those I just said are only our most basic requirements. If we do not even have this most basic requirement, If all the requirements are not met, the world will not achieve strategic balance in the true sense, and China and the United States will not achieve equal state relations and reciprocal diplomacy, and China's core interests will not receive the same respect as the United States. China's strategic security will not receive the same protection as the United States. If the U.S. government persists in fulfilling its responsibilities and obligations to your so-called Asian friends, China will also have obligations to us in the Americas and Europe. Comrades have the right to fulfill our proletarian internationalist obligations." "Mr. Foreign Minister, do you know what this means?" Bang Kennedy quickly picked up what Foreign Minister Chen Yi said: "If this is the case, the world will be in chaos. A new world war will break out on this planet that will destroy the entire human race. This will not be beneficial to either the United States or China." Chen Yi said confidently: "Of course I know what this means. Let me reiterate again, China only. It is a requirement that China's core interests and China's national strategic security be protected at the minimum. If we Chinese Communists cannot even do this, it will be the corrupt Manchu Qing government and the incompetent Kuomintang government. We do not want war, let alone nuclear war. But the Chinese people are not afraid of war. They have stood up after being bullied by imperialism for a century. They now know how to protect their due interests in the face of imperialist powers. The era when Western imperialist powers could bring China to its knees with just a few cannons on China's coast is gone forever." Mr. Chen continued: "People in all countries and regions in the world have the right to freedom. They can choose their own social form and lifestyle without the interference of other countries, let alone the need for others to fulfill their responsibilities and obligations for them. State-to-state relations must be based on the Five Basics of Peaceful Coexistence. On the basis of principles. If the U.S. government cannot give up its practice of interfering in other countries' internal affairs and cannot abide by the five basic principles of peaceful coexistence, the danger of a new world war will indeed exist. If U.S. hegemony must insist on war. If we impose a new world war on China and the people of the world, then the result will be that either the war will cause a revolution, or the revolution will stop the war. In the end, only American hegemonism will perish. "The Chinese Marshal's self-confidence made U.S. Secretary of State Rusk and his entourage feel that China is neither easy to bully nor easy to fool. China is indeed ready for war. This is not an international joke. But the United StatesPresidential Assistant for National Security Affairs Ben Kennedy still wants to finally fight for the United States to have the right to station troops on the Korean Peninsula. He picked up the mineral water on the table to moisten the thirst caused by nervousness, and then said: "Mr. Foreign Minister, these responsibilities and obligations we have to our Asian friends are formed historically and have a legal basis. "Just as you cannot give up support for the Kim Il Sung regime, we cannot give up support for the South Korean regime." "These are two nature issues. The Korean Peninsula and China are closely related to each other. Cold, and you are thousands of miles away from the United States. It was you who threatened us. This led to China's 1950 War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. According to the comprehensive ceasefire agreement signed by China and the United States in 1951 on the Korean Peninsula, the last batch of Chinese. The People's Volunteer Army had all withdrawn from the Korean Peninsula in 1958. Why do you, the United States, still linger on the Korean Peninsula? Instead, it deployed nuclear missiles against China in South Korea, directly threatening China's national security." Mr. Chen said angrily. He said generally and restrainedly: "If the premise I mentioned cannot be met and the United States cannot understand China's feelings, we will lose the basis for politically solving the problems faced by China and the United States. There is no need to talk about other specific matters. question. If we could tolerate the United States stationing a certain amount of U.S. armed forces in various forms in Asia before, after this incident of the United States deploying nuclear missiles in South Korea, China¡¯s current attitude is that the United States must withdraw from its presence in Asia. All the armed forces in Asia. When you come this time, we will only discuss with you the time and form of withdrawal of the US military. "China's attitude has been very clear. There is no US presence now. The issue of whether all armed forces in Asia should be withdrawn or not should be withdrawn, whether it is necessary to withdraw, whether it is an active withdrawal or a passive withdrawal. It is a question of whether to withdraw by oneself or be forced to withdraw by China. China's tough attitude stunned U.S. Secretary of State Lasker and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Bon Kennedy, and the door to any further attempts to argue with China was slammed shut by China. They are worried, what should they do next? They are a little hesitant. They know that the current situation in North Korea is already very serious. More than 4,000 elite divisions of the Chinese Communist Army and one million troops of the Korean People's Army are stationed at the 38th Parallel. The reason why China has not taken action is probably to wait. depends on the outcome of this negotiation between China and the United States. If the negotiations fail to make progress within a certain period of time, will China have enough patience to wait? There seems to be an unwritten rule. When the negotiation table fails, the battlefield will become lively. Once the war breaks out, the nearly 3,000 American officers and soldiers in South Korea may not be able to evacuate even if they want to. It is hard to say what their fate will be. In the spacious and bright Four Seasons Hall of Diaoyutai Building 12, except for the sound of the gurgling stream Outside, the whole place was completely silent for about 10 minutes. Seeing the US Secretary of State Lasker and the President's Assistant for National Security Affairs Bon Kennedy looking thoughtful and non-committal, Mr. Chen stood up and said: "Secretary of State and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, you just arrived today, take a good rest first. I propose that today¡¯s informal meeting will end here. Do you think it¡¯s okay? If it¡¯s convenient for you, I will invite you to the welcome banquet in Building 18 at 19:30.¡± ¡°Thank you, Chen. Foreign Minister, we are very honored to accept your invitation. We will definitely participate at that time," US Secretary of State Rusk said hurriedly holding Mr. Chen's hand. After watching the Chinese delegation led by Chinese Foreign Minister Chen Yi and Deputy Foreign Minister Li Dawei leave, US Secretary of State Lasker and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Bon Kennedy and others, in order to prevent China from installing eavesdropping devices in Building 12 where they were staying, They walked out of Building 12 one after another, pretending to take a walk on the lawn between the towers and pavilions under the shade of pines and cypresses, to discuss how to deal with the current negotiations with China. In late March, spring returns to the earth in Beijing, the grass and trees are sprouting, and the lawns under your feet have begun to turn green. However, the spring is cold and the outside of the building is still full of chill. After walking out of Building 12, Secretary of State Lasker asked the U.S. Ambassador to China Holyfield to return to the embassy immediately to report to the White House on the afternoon talks. He and Bang Kennedy were walking around in the spring cold that "killed young people". "It seems that Beijing has also begun to actively implement the Asian version of the Monroe Doctrine policy of 'Asian affairs are Asian affairs.'" Secretary of State Rusk put his hands in the pockets of his thin woolen coat on the lawn in front of Building 12. Said to Bang Kennedy. "Yes," U.S. Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Bon Kennedy nodded and said: "From the "Pyongyang Resolution" and the "Shannan Agreement of the South and Southeast Asian Foreign Ministers' Conference on Preventing the Entry of Nuclear Weapons into Asia", which was initiated by Beijing, There is no doubt about this from the diplomatic documents and the speech of the Chinese Foreign Minister today. "U.S. Secretary of State Lasker and Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Bon Kennedy unanimously thought of the Monroe Doctrine, and the fifth President James. Monroe's State of the Union Address to the U.S. CongressAt the consultation meeting, he waved his hands vigorously and declared impassionedly to the participating members of Congress: "In the future, any European power shall not treat the already free countries of the American continent as objects of future colonization. The United States will not interfere in the affairs of the European powers. Internal affairs, and European powers will not be allowed to interfere in American affairs." This message by the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, became commonly known as the "Monroe Declaration." The principles it contains are commonly known as the "Monroe Doctrine." The Monroe Doctrine has three main meanings: (1) It requires European countries not to colonize the Western Hemisphere. This principle not only expresses opposition to the expansion of Western European countries in Latin America, but also opposes Russia's expansion on the west coast of North America; (2) requires Europe not to interfere in the affairs of major American countries; (3) ensures that the United States does not interfere in European affairs, including the current situation in Europe. Some affairs in the American colonies. Since Britain's influence in Latin America was greater than that of the United States at that time, the Monroe Doctrine did not have much impact. After the 1840s, the Monroe Doctrine was revived. The Monroe Doctrine announced in peaceful language that the United States was beginning to play an independent role in the international arena as a great power. From a national strategic perspective, the Monroe Doctrine laid the foundation for the rising United States in diplomacy. Lasker and Bon Kennedy stopped in front of a pavilion. Bon Kennedy raised his head and silently looked at the vivid golden dragon drawn on the pavilion's beams with teeth and claws in the clouds, and said thoughtfully: " The rise of a great country requires sufficient strength. Strength is the basis for becoming a great power. However, a great country must eventually be recognized as a great power by the international community. This is not just a matter of its own strength before it becomes a great power. Along the way, there will inevitably be some major tests in foreign relations. A successful big country can not only withstand the test, but more importantly, through these major events, it has established a long-lasting diplomatic tradition as a big country. The influence of these traditions has strategic significance. In the future, it will effectively promote the growth of its own strength. The Monroe Doctrine opened up a tradition of lasting strategic significance for US diplomacy, and now it has become the goal pursued by the emerging China. "" China has gathered a large number of people under the banner of Mao. The national elite, after more than 20 years of hard work, established independent China, and spent another 10 years incredibly building China into a powerful country. Now Beijing has made it clear that all US troops must withdraw. Asia, the United States should no longer interfere in Asian affairs. Asian affairs are indeed a replica of the Monroe Doctrine in Asia. Beijing is determined to leave us no choice but to fight. The only thing left is to either accept the war or withdraw from Asia. Although the president has given us the answer when we came, are we still fighting for it?" Lasker hopes that the president's national security assistant Bon Kennedy can take the lead in saying this. Give your own opinion. Bon Kennedy did not express his opinions directly to answer the Secretary of State's question. He seemed to be still immersed in summarizing the "Monroe Doctrine". He slowly paced side by side with Lasker on the lawn. On the other hand, he said methodically: "Objectively speaking, the Monroe Doctrine has played a role in preventing the already independent Latin American countries from becoming colonies of European powers again. The Monroe Doctrine is the continuation and development of the determination and confidence of the American political elite in building a strong country. , is actually a basic foreign policy for the United States to pursue hegemony in Latin America and continue to move towards world hegemony. According to the national strategy theory, there are five types of national grand strategies: hegemony, self-help, avoidance, free-riding and transcendence. Analyzing it from this perspective, for a big country that is full of vitality and wants to make a difference, no major strategic choice can be left to its own devices. The Monroe Declaration declared a positive choice. It did not submit to the British suggestions, leaving aside the British at that time. This 'super power''s active invitation expressed its independent views and reflected the great power spirit of an emerging country. At the same time, it avoided the disputes between the great powers and did not intervene in possible confrontations and conflicts between the great powers. The Monroe Declaration did not target it. A specific country did not create enemies for the United States, and it catered to the needs of the 'Pan-Americanism' ideology prevalent in Latin America at the time, so it was generally welcomed by Latin American countries at the time." "Bang, I know all what you said. Are you asking if we are still fighting for it next?" Lasker interrupted the President's National Security Assistant impatiently. "History sometimes has many similarities." Bon Kennedy glanced at the frowning U.S. Secretary of State, but remained unmoved, and continued unhurriedly: "The Monroe Doctrine was established in the United States half a century ago. Internationally, it showed the world that the United States had begun to exert its influence on the world as a major power. The Monroe Declaration caused different reactions from the powers at that time. In the end, Britain, the 'super power' at the time, had no choice but to accept the Monroe Doctrine. , the Holy Alliance suffered a heavy blow, and the United States achieved a diplomatic victory. From the perspective of national interests and strategy, the Monroe Declaration was successful in both fact and diplomatic style. The long-term foreign relations of the United States,The future development and strength of the United States are inseparable from the role played by the Monroe Doctrine. "How could U.S. Secretary of State Rusk fail to hear the implication of the President's National Security Advisor's words of "using the past to speak of the present"? He stopped, looked at Bon Kennedy and said: "According to your wishes, we only Can we imitate the British that reluctantly accepted China¡¯s Asian version of the Monroe Doctrine? " "What else can you do in the face of a powerful and enterprising China? If we could now restrict the Chinese dragon to Asia and ask them to ensure that China does not interfere in American and European affairs, this would already be a very good result. This is also the president's idea. "
