Good morning, I have been fortunate enough today to show you, because of time constraints, and I can only show some general content of the Sino-US relations,if you find something is not good,please forgive me. if you are interested in this topic ,welcome to talk about it with me after the class.
As we all know,China is the world's largest developing country, the United States is the world's most developed countries, China is the world's largest exporter, the United States is the world's largest importer, so, Sino-US relations are very important.
First, we take a look at the stage characteristics of the Sino-US relations, Sino-US relations is divided into three stages.
First stage: the founding of New China to the early 1970s, and china and america have a full-scale confrontation in this period, this a hostility period.
Phase II: In the early 1970s to the 1980s, during this period ,due to various reasons, the Sino-US relations achieved normalization,and china and america established diplomatic relations.
Phase III: Since the reform and opening up, during this period China and the United States formed a strategic partnership, cooperation and friction is the topic in this period.
let us take a concern about the first period, the period of hostilities, the founding of New China, the Communist Party defeated the Kuomintang which supported by the United States, China confirmed "one-sided" strategy. So,The next 20 years China has been treated with political hostility and diplomatic isolation, military threats by america. The most typical manifestation is the Korean War,
here we see the video of the Korean War,in this video, Chairman Mao made ainspiring speech in the the last,from this video,not only we can get the history, but also can experience the indomitable spirit with china’s leader.
But this period end of China coming back to the United Nations,this case also mean U.S. policy of isolating china failed,
Look at this picture ,this is a very famous picture, called qiao’s laughing,", Qiao Guanhua is the head of the Chinese delegation, the picture recorded after the victory
let's look at the second stage of normalization of the Sino-US relations in the 1970s to 1980s, and do you know why the two sides are seeking to improve relations during this period? The first should be the failure of U.S. policy of isolating China, Second, during this period, the United States on the defensive in US-Soviet hegemony,the Soviet hegemonism was a direct threat to our country in that age, from a strategic consideration, the normalization of Sino-US relations is the needs to against Soviet Union, which also gave the Soviet Union a big suprise indeed, of course, this decision is also out of the needs of the Taiwan issue.
Look at this picture , Premier Zhou Enlai and President Nixon,you know, this handshake across the world's widest oceans.
And This is in the state banquet,Premier Zhou Enlai take food for Nixon .
Here we look at the video section of Nixon’s china visiting. I do not know did you notice the scene when Nixon took the coat for Zhou Enlai, it’s a famous detail,Premier Zhou Enlai has a very strong personality, foreign guests who have been in contact with Premier Zhou will be impressed by his sincerity, which is also worthy of our Chinese diplomat to learn.
Let’s come to the final stage, period since the reform and opening up, i devid this period into three steps
The first step is the late 1970s to the late 1980s, this period is the first dacade after the normalization of Sino-US relations,the relations developed smoothly during this period, and vice-premier Deng Xiaoping visited the United States during this time. Here is a video of Deng Xiaoping's visiting to U.S..
The second step of the late 1980s to the early 1990, United States began sanctions
during this period, the collapse of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, China has also undergone a political storm, commonly known as the student movement. The United States believes that China's suppression of the counter-revolutionary rebellion is terrible, so america made sanctions against China.
Incidentally, I personally do not agree with the student movement event, any historical event must have international and domestic background and underlying causes, and this incident precisely do not have.
Ok,Return to the Sino-US relations, the third step, since the mid-1990s, the sanctions have no effect, the U.S. change the policy, cooperation accounted for the main line, such as China's accession to the WTO.
Here is a video of China's accession to the WTO, Premier Zhu Rongji visited the United States.
Actually,except these,i intended to show you Sino-US relations after U.S. President Barack Obama took office, such as trade friction, the United States to return to the Asia-Pacific strategy, but this problem is too complex to have the opportunity to be explained today.
Why the Sino-US relations is so important and complex, only one word can describe,there is no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests!
Ok,This is the entire contents of the speech today ,Finally, I want to do a summary with Chinese to end the speech,
中国的进步和发展奔腾向前，浩浩荡荡，势不可挡。我们坚信，勤劳勇敢智慧的中国人民，在全面建设小康社会这一前无古人的伟大实践中，一定能够万众一心，奋发图强，勇往直前地朝着宏伟目标阔步迈进，光荣完成时代赋予的崇高使命，把我国早日建设成为富强民主文明的社会主义现代化国家。最后愿我们的祖国在瞬息万变的世界大潮中屹立不倒！愿祖国繁荣昌盛！
