Is this the loss of the Chinese or the Americans? Chairman Mao once proposed to visit the United States three times, but they were all "disrupted" by an American. This incident not only made the Roosevelt regret at that time, but also made the United States regret it many years later. So why did the Chairman's plan to visit the United States repeatedly fail? Who is interfering with it?

When The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression hit the late stage, the Americans who had always supported Chiang Kai-shek's National Government had already realized the clues that the Kuomintang was not doing well, especially the then US President Roosevelt, who was very troubled by his incompetent collaborator, Chiang Kai-shek, and the corrupt and incompetent National Government.
Since the United States was pulled into the war by Japan, the Americans have been providing assistance to China, hoping to use the power of China to fight against the Soviet Union and Japan. However, the Kuomintang at this time obviously disappointed the Americans .
During this period, with the efforts of the Chairman, Premier Zhou and others, most of the diplomats in the US Embassy in China began to be full of interest in Yan'an under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
The incident of Yan'an
naturally reached Roosevelt's ears, especially after hearing that Yan'an was completely different from the National Government. In late July 1944, Roosevelt approved 8 Americans and formed an observation team to arrive in Yan'an one after another. He just visited in Yan'an.
When has been for 963 days, the colonel Bao Ruide , as the leader of the observation group, and the secretary of the US ambassador to China, Xie Weisi and others, admire Yan'an and the Communist Party very much, and admire Chairman Mao and other Communist leaders.
In order to welcome this special observation team, Chairman Mao attached great importance to their visit. He not only specially repaired the airport, but also told the situation of the airport in detail to the American pilots through telegrams.

And all carefully inquire about the observation team's food, clothing, housing and transportation. From caves to toilets to coffee supply, it reflects the Chairman's attention to the American visit this time.
In just a few months of personal experience, Bao Ruide, as the team leader, was deeply moved. He mentioned in the book "American Observation Group in Yan'an" that the Communist Party should get better equipment and supply. If the United States provides military aid, the Communist Party will definitely win in the battle against Japan.
has stated more than once that KMT's "criticism" of the Communist Party is too hot . In his memoirs Bao Ruide also wrote that the people in Yan'an have enough food and clothing, and the people support the Communist Party, while the people in KMT-level district are not the case.
Americans
This trip to Yan'an also completely refreshed the Americans' impression of the Communist Party . Yan'an not only has a good social order and a peaceful life, but also has an orderly and safe environment. Because of the support of the people, the chairman does not need the guards to follow him when walking on the streets of Yan'an.
These small details touched the hearts of Bao Ruide and others. Later, because the visit was significant, the United States also provided 100,000 single-shot pistols and some logistics supplies to the militia in Yan'an.
This kind of kindness released by the United States gave the Chairman and Premier Zhou the idea of visiting the United States and meeting Roosevelt. However, the plans to visit the United States again and again were "disrupted" by one person. This person was the US ambassador to China that year Hurley . So why did Hurley frequently obstruct? Is this what President Roosevelt means?
Herley
Who "disrupted" the plan to visit the United States? If this plan can be realized, there will definitely be close cooperation between China and the United States, and the relationship between the two countries will not be like this. It is because of Hurley, the private envoy around Roosevelt, that Chairman Mao’s three plans to visit the United States during the War of Resistance Against Japan were not realized. Whose loss is this? Maybe only Americans know the most.
As Roosevelt's private envoy, Hurley did not do his own job well. Instead, he was very self-righteous, not only liked to show off, but also ignorant and arrogant.
but Roosevelt trusted him very much, and later sent him to China as ambassador to China. In the first group of observation groups in the United States, Bao Ruide and others visited Yan'an. was full of confidence in Yan'an under the leadership of the Communist Party.

Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou had the intention to visit the United States. Before sending this top-secret telegram to the commander of the US military in China, Premier Zhou also repeatedly told Hurley not to know about this top-secret telegram.
Hurley didn't understand politics, so he thought that since President Roosevelt is now supporting Chiang Kai-shek , he should stand on the side of Chiang Kai-shek and firmly support President Roosevelt's "thinkings" and not have anything to do with the Communist Yan'an.
Therefore, after Hurley came to Yan'an and held the 3 round of talks with the chairman, , they all acted very rude and arrogant. Without knowing the Communist Party and Yan'an, Hurley always believed that civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the one that the CCP wanted to fight.
Obviously Hurley got the point wrong, but it also made the Chairman and Premier Zhou understand that if you want to visit the United States, Hurley must not be known. Chairman's first plan to visit the United States ended in vain because of Hurley's appearance.
Herley and Chairman
The reason why they chose to believe that Wei Demai, the commander of the US military stationed in China, sent a message to Roosevelt because Wei Demai valued Bao Ruide, Xie Weisi and others who were pro-Yan'an faction. Given that Wei Demai's pertinent position, he made his message more trustworthy.
Since he has intentionally avoided Hurley, why is Hurley obstructed when visiting the United States again? It turned out that the message was accidentally intercepted by Hurley just before sending this telegram.
, especially the person who passes the message, is Hurley's prejudiced Weidemai , Hurley himself is vain and loves to show off, and he holds a grudge against Weidemai because Hurley believes that dealing with the Chinese government should be the job of the ambassador to China.
A US military stationed in China can exercise such great power. It is obviously not to take himself as the president's private envoy seriously. out of jealousy, Hurley reported Weidemai's interference with his actions to Roosevelt .
General Weidemai in China
Roosevelt, who had already trusted his private envoy very much, naturally believed Hurley's words, and later under pressure, Weidemai also issued a statement.
telegram failed to reach Roosevelt, which also made Chairman Mao’s plan to visit the United States fail for the second time. Until March 1945, U.S. Ambassador to China Xie Weisi visited Yan'an again.
Chairman Mao took this opportunity to reiterate his idea of visiting the United States and discussing with Roosevelt with the idea of clarifying the misunderstanding. However, Hurley interfered with it again and firmly stood on the side of Chiang Kai-shek and refused to let the plan succeed. Under all kinds of obstruction, Xie Weisi could only return to the United States with regrets and .
Chairman Mao’s third visit to the United States was therefore lost. This “disrupted” Chairman Mao’s plan and Hurley, who visited the United States three times, later became one of the people that Americans hate the most . If Chairman Mao successfully visited the United States, what would happen?

The United States is now feeling much pressure
The United States is now regretful . Chairman Mao once proposed to visit the United States three times, but they were rejected because of one person's "disturbance". Now Americans regret it but it is useless. China's rapid rise from adversity will only make the United States feel much pressure.
If it weren't for being arrogant and arrogant at that time, the US Ambassador to China Hurley would interfere with it, our party could have realized its plan to visit the United States during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The relationship between China and the United States and the situation in the world might have been very different.
At least the new China will not become an opponent of the United States. After the outbreak of the Korean War in in 1950, the United States may not target this. This emerging country in the rising is .
Victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea
The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea may not have started, but then again, China , which has risen in adversity in , would not have risen so quickly without the repeated targets of the United States.
Many people say that the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, was the turning point of China's millennium destiny . It was because of the victory of this war that the Western powers led by the United States completely saw China's strong strength and also won a peaceful and stable international environment for the New China.
The lion in the East will surely be unstoppable after it wakes up. Later facts have proved that New China took the train of the times and began to move forward with great strides.
Later, we have all the others. In the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, we faced the nuclear threat , and in just a few years, China also owned the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, and entered a nuclear-capable country.
China's first atomic bomb was successfully tested and exploded
These huge progress and developments are often unexpected by Americans. They must be very regretful at this time. Why did they choose to cooperate with the Kuomintang instead of establishing good relations with the Communist Party?
, especially Chairman Mao at that time, proposed three times to visit the United States without , which made many Americans resentful. It was not until 1971 that Kissinger's secret visit to China began. Until the next year's Nixon President's visit to China, the relationship between the two countries was eased.
The first time China visited the United States was later Dong Gong only realized in 1979. This is also the first time that Chinese leaders visited the United States after the founding of New China.
Deng Gong visits the United States
Chairman Mao is a great existence in the hearts of many American people, but he is still full of curiosity about Deng Gong and others. It is hard to imagine what a mysterious leader is leading this ancient and huge country .
Before this, Americans had never really seen that the supreme leaders from China, especially after dealing with the leaders of the Soviet Union, would speculate whether the Deng Guild would be as arrogant and domineering as Khrushchev , and as arrogant and old-fashioned as Brezhnev .
With Mr. Deng’s visit, Mr. Deng, who is kind and approachable, has allowed the American people to see the style of Chinese leaders and realize that China’s rise and strength are not without reason.
It’s just a pity that they realized it too late. If Hurley had not interfered with it and allowed Chairman Mao to successfully visit the United States, it might have been a good thing for both China and the United States. As a result, Hurley would not know whose loss was in the end?
