Chapter 1173 is the exchange of interests

Fan Wubing and Boss Zhu reached an agreement. He came forward to resolve the trade conflict between China and Russia, while the government settled the black regimes in the small African countries to get their support for Fan's investment in minerals in Africa.

"This is an exchange of interests." Fan Wubing explained to his father Fan Heng when he returned home.

After listening to Fan Wubing's explanation, Fan Heng said to him, "The government has a relatively large influence on Africa, but it is generally unwilling to show it. The key relationship must always be used at the right time."

Fan Wubing deeply agrees with this. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese government's aid to African countries has been in progress, spending about hundreds of billions of dollars. Although it is also an astronomical figure based on the comparable value at that time, it is indeed worth it from the results it received. It not only made the new China return to the United Nations, but also received the support of a large number of hard-core supporters and became a permanent member of the Security Council again, with a veto power, which is something that cannot be bought no matter how much money it costs.

As early as November 15, 1949, the Prime Minister called UN Secretary-General Rai and Fourth United Nations General Assembly Chairman Romulo, demanding that the United Nations immediately cancel all rights of the "Chinese National Government Delegation" to continue to represent the Chinese people in the United Nations. The Chinese government's proposal was sympathized and supported by the Soviet Union, India, Yugoslavia and other governments, but was opposed by the US government. The US government opposed this matter under the pretext of immature timing, and the issue of China's representation was dragged down in the early stage of the United Nations.

Under the influence of the foreign policy of New China, a powerful force mainly supporting China's legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations emerged, and fought with the United States and other countries that opposed the restoration of China's legitimate rights and interests in the United Nations. The two sides had been dealing with each other for eleven years.

During this period, the United States' approach to China's representation has changed, and delayed discussions have become increasingly unpopular. In the end, China's representation issue can only be blocked by the two-thirds majority of the Congress.

In 1971, it was obvious that it might be difficult to stop African countries from supporting China, the United States, Japan and other countries proposed a double representation case before the 26th UN General Assembly, in an attempt to create a **** and allow the new Chinese government to automatically withdraw.

This is because the Prime Minister said in his second talks with the Prime Minister of Somali, "If the United States sees that most countries in the United Nations support China to restore seats, it will play new tricks and proposes that Taiwan must be excluded. This is absolutely unacceptable, otherwise we will admit that Taiwan has been divided and that the United States has occupied Taiwan, and that Chiang Kai-shek does not admit that we will become national sinners, and we would rather not enter the United Nations."

On the evening of October 25, 1971, the debate between the 26th UN General Assembly on China's representative power ended. At this time, the historical vote began. The proposals proposed by the United States, Japan and other 22 countries were rejected.

Then, the conference voted on proposals from the 23 African countries including Algeria.

Before the vote, Bush, the Permanent Representative of the United Nations, requested a speech. He told all member states that the U.S. delegation requested the content of the immediate expulsion of Chiang Kai-shek's representative from the United Nations from the proposals of the 23 countries including Algeria.

Bush's proposal was not accepted, and he immediately voted on the proposals of the 23 African countries including Algeria. The famous resolution 2758 in the history of the United Nations was born.

The President of the Congress announced loudly that since the proposals of Algeria and 23 countries were approved, the proposals of the "dual representation" of the United States, Japan and other 19 countries became an abolished case and was automatically rejected by the Congress.

As soon as this solemn announcement ended, there was once again a scene of long-term cheers and applause in the conference hall.

Secretary-General Wu Dan immediately said, "Only by restoring the seat in the world's most populous People's Republic of China, the United Nations has truly begun work."

That night, NBC, CBS and ABC broadcast the news on three major TV stations in a major and important news inter-channel manner, saying that "With the support of 76 countries including Africa, Red China was approved to enter the United Nations, and a new historical period is coming."

When reporting the news, all three newspapers published a list of 76 countries that voted for UN General Assembly resolution 2758, including 26 African countries, Britain, France and Canada, which established diplomatic relations with China, are also on the list.

When talking about this, Fan Heng said to his son with some emotion. "Diplomatic relations requires money, but if you spend money, you have to see the results. In the past, there was no effort to support African countries and sacrificed a lot. However, without the efforts we had at that time, how could we live a better life today? In fact, state relations are just to pull a group and hit a group, and this strategy will not change at any time."

Fan Wubing had not carefully studied the history at that time. At this time, he heard his father Fan Heng talk about it, so he asked, "Is Bush, the permanent representative of the United Nations at that time, the former US President Bush, the father of the current President George W. Bush?"

Fan Heng nodded and replied, "Yes, Bush, the Sr., was a naval pilot during World War II and showed his courage. Later, from 1971 to 1972, he served as the US Permanent Representative to the United Nations. In 1974, he became the director of the Liaison Office in China. Later, he returned to the United States to work as the director of the CIA, and later became Reagan's vice president. Later, he became president himself and raised his son to president. This person is quite a figure."

Fan Wubing thought, it turned out that Bush started his business in intelligence work. After all, the director of the Liaison Office in China is actually a specialist in intelligence. As for the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, let alone the director of the entire United States' overseas intelligence work is the responsibility of them.

"But, are you sure to get things done with Russia?" Fan Heng asked his son.

"There should be no problem-" Fan Wubing replied, "From the current situation, there are local forces who want to drag Putin down, so so many things have happened. There are some problems, and some problems are small conflicts that will naturally occur in bilateral trade. Overall, it is not a big deal. In fact, this time I went to Putin to give money to help him defeat the opposition supported by Western countries and consolidate his ruling position. Therefore, my trip to Russia is definitely very popular."

"I hope so." Fan Heng said.

When talking about Africa, both father and son have the same views, believing that domestic companies want to develop overseas, they are indeed inseparable from the support of the government, but the support of the government is really limited now, especially in foreign-related laws and intelligence. There are too few things that can be done.

"The reason why foreign exchange reserves are just reserves is that they do not spend money to buy into resources and import other people's finished products at high prices. So far, there are no cases of China's successful acquisition of large overseas mines, and a few are basically small mine tailings. It is easy for domestic scholars to make suggestions, but it is too difficult to implement them. There are even fewer people who can recognize the shortcomings of China's soft power. If you can't know yourself and the enemy, how can you win?" Fan Heng shook his head and said, "I will raise this question and set up corresponding institutions to do this. After all, as time goes by, it is impossible for us to not develop overseas."

Fan Wubing deeply agreed with this. This situation is like the Westernization Movement in China back then. Many Chinese industrialists participated in the economic strength and could mobilize millions of taels of silver. It was also a huge sum of money in the world at that time. However, even if they were suffering losses in competition with foreigners everywhere, no one clearly stated the reason behind it, because Chinese rulers were unwilling to develop such soft power to weaken their power.

Although it has made a lot of progress now, there is still such awareness among government officials, which is very bad.

The bottom line of Chinese people in doing things is very low. They do not focus on whether they are fair or not when doing business, but leave when they see profits. This is because China is an overcompetitive society and the world has become an oligarchical economy.

For example, if this cooperation project of Fan's Investment Group is spread, many people will immediately express their willingness to take over. What is certain is that the result of their purchase is far inferior to the original agreement, which is the consequence of excessive competition.

Another point is that the old overseas Chinese gave great help to this trip to Africa. Overseas Chinese can still play a huge role at critical moments. Here we also need to reflect on the overseas Chinese policy. Is it inappropriate?

According to the traditional Chinese concept, we always hope that they will return to their country and say that they will return to their roots and repay their motherland. However, such policies will make the living environment of overseas Chinese very difficult, because local society will exclude them and deny dual nationality, which actually limits the development of many Chinese people.

In Africa, people from all countries in Europe and the United States have dual nationalities because no one will give up their nationality for the sake of African nationality. However, if they do not have African nationality, their local behavior will be greatly restricted. Africa's policies for foreigners are different from those in China. In China, it is basically a national discrimination policy. Having a foreign status is beneficial at home, while Africa is different, including different taxes. This is the fundamental difference between the two.

In fact, the string of anti-colonialism in Africa is very tight, so nothing goes smoothly without nationality. Western countries' policy of using dual nationality has actually taken a huge advantage in the system, so it is easy to understand why mainstream European and American countries recognize dual nationality.
