Why did none of the ten US presidents forget Chairman Mao?
For the current US President Biden , they have quoted Chairman Mao’s famous quote: “Women can stand half the sky!” Once this news was disclosed by the media, it immediately triggered heated discussion among American netizens - what is the charm of this Eastern leader? His words actually made the US president blurt out! Especially Biden, saying it once is not enough, he actually said it three times in public!
But this is not a big deal, because Chairman Mao’s words were so contagious. He once used three sentences to make the US military behaved instantly. The 12 words he said were studied by the Americans for 50 years! What did Chairman Mao say? Among all previous US presidents, who is Chairman Mao’s biggest fan?
If we are lucky enough to travel back and meet Chairman Mao, how can we get closer to the Chairman? Let’s see how this US president did it. In 1972, US President Nixon secretly visited China. The first thing he said when he met Chairman Mao was -
"Mr. Chairman, you said that ten thousand years are too long, you can seize the day"
Before him, Kissinger met Chairman Mao, and the same starting style was the same:
"Mr. Chairman, I heard that you invented the new word Paper Tiger"
Paper Tiger
The atmosphere suddenly became easy and active. This is not a deliberate flattery in the United States. In fact, in that era, Chairman Mao’s thoughts were unique around the world. In Europe, America, Japan and other places, people of all kinds of skin colors held a small red book and became a beautiful local scenery. The senior American officials were influenced by it every day, and it was inevitable that a classic quote would pop up from time to time. This US President Nixon was the number one fan of Chairman Mao. He saw that Chairman Mao’s pants were torn and his pajamas had 73 patches! And it was this simple-dressed man who led the Chinese people to break the myth of the invincible American imperialism! Nixon was deeply shocked. Before leaving, he bowed deeply to Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao also gave him three sentences. These three sentences were only 12 words, but they had been studied by the United States for 50 years! These three sentences are:
"The old man sits on a bench, Chang'e runs to the moon, and he will take a quick look at the flowers."
can understand every sentence, but it is obscure and difficult to understand. The thinking contained in the poem is very leaps and bound. Is it a prediction of the fate of the United States or a summary of Nixon's life? There is no conclusion yet. Do you know what it means? Welcome to answer your questions in the comment section.
Two years later, President Nixon announced his resignation due to the Watergate incident. He was frustrated and suddenly received a call from Chairman Mao, which turned out to be the Chairman invited him to visit China again. At this time, he was no longer the president of the United States, but the chairman still arranged for him to stay in State Guesthouse No. 18, and even the dishes at the state banquet did not change. Many people think that such treatment is too high, but the facts prove that the chairman's arrangement is correct. Nixon's second visit to China made people realize the importance of Sino-US relations and completely opened up the channels for exchanges between China and the United States. As a result, the new president visited China and the United States eight times after taking office, prompting China and the United States to issue the joint communiqué . The two major powers on the other side of the Atlantic finally shook hands and made peace.
China-US diplomatic relations
How charming is Chairman Mao? Three sentences make the United States instantly well-behaved.
The first sentence happened during the resistance to U.S. aggression and aid Korea . Under the command of General Peng, the volunteer army used simple weapons and equipment to chase the US troops all over the ground. The US President Truman could no longer hold on to his face. He ordered the 26 atomic bombs to arrive in North Korea, hoping to use nuclear bomb to force our country to surrender. At that time, China had no nuclear bombs, and the US threat was like a sharp sword, hanging above our heads.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Chairman Mao responded domineeringly, they have the atomic bomb, we have the grenade ! Our grenades will surely defeat their atomic bomb! We are not afraid of any threat of imperialism. Truman thinks that the atomic bomb can scare us? He was wrong. Chinese soldiers are not afraid of death, and all reactionary forces are paper tigers!
Facts are just as Chairman Mao expected. Until the end of Korean War , the United States did not dare to throw atomic bombs into the Korean battlefield. The arrogant five-star general MacArthur , bragged the sky, but was eventually defeated by the volunteers and finally left the army in shame. US President Truman also stepped down in a hurry because of the US military's defeat on the Korean battlefield.
The second sentence happened in the 1960s. Eisenhower, the newly appointed US President, actually planned to visit Taiwan on the warship despite China's heavy warnings. This massive visit was finally cleverly resolved by Chairman Mao's decision. In 1952, Eisenhower became the 34th president of the United States. He sinisterly proposed the so-called strategic vague policy, that is, on the one hand, he supported , Chiang Kai-shek, to counterattack the mainland and provide aid to the Kuomintang, but on the other hand, he did not completely fall out with the mainland, and still maintained open harmony. In his opinion, this is in line with the principle of maximizing American interests.
In June 1960, Eisenhower was about to step down, but he was about to step down and did not forget to make a big move - visit Taiwan. Taking advantage of the rights in his hands, he made several established facts. This situation is very similar to that of an old witch. At the meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Chairman Mao clearly stated that Eisenhower must not be allowed to meet Chiang Kai-shek comfortably. He decisively ordered:
"Give this US president a big gift and welcome him with 70,000 shells!"
The St. Paul, which Eisenhower was riding, arrived in the eastern waters of Taiwan and was getting closer and closer to his destination. Eisenhower was in a good mood. He stood on the deck and looked at Taiwan with excitement in his heart. He even saw his name in history and his bravery was praised by his descendants. However, the sudden sound of cannons broke his dream. It turned out that the Fujian artillery troops fired ten thousand arrows at one go, and more than 30,000 shells poured down towards the Qima Islands. For a moment, the night sky illuminated by the flames and the sound of cannons rang out into the sky. Eisenhower was in chaos and could only hold the ship's side with his hands, sighing. It seemed that this trip was about to end in failure! In the end, the US president and Chiang Kai-shek did not reach any results. Amid the farewell of 30,000 artillery shells, our army left Taiwan in disappointment.
Why didn’t one of the ten US presidents forget Chairman Mao? How charming is Chairman Mao? One sentence made the 600,000 US troops obedient!
This sentence occurred during the Vietnam War period. After the end of World War II , the Japanese army evacuated from Vietnam. Before leaving, they learned to do evil to Britain and divided Vietnam into South Vietnam and North Vietnam . Therefore, North Vietnam and South Vietnam fought endlessly, and they all wanted to conquer the other side to unify Vietnam. The French were the first to rule South Vietnam. Before World War II, France was once known as the number one army power in Europe. However, because France surrendered the fastest in World War II, it suffered huge trauma in its body and mind, and its strength was too severe to be exhausted. It was no longer able to control South Vietnam. France had no choice but to hand over control of South Vietnam to the United States.
For Americans, NATO is controlled by the Soviet Union. If South Vietnam wins the Vietnam War, it is equivalent to their defeating their opponents, the Soviet Union. Not only will the international reputation be greatly improved, but they can also have a voice on Indochina Peninsula . At this time, the United States did not take China seriously at all, thinking that China is busy with domestic construction and will definitely not interfere in the Vietnam war situation. At first, the United States did not want to spend too much energy on the Vietnam battlefield. It only provided some weapons assistance to South Vietnam and did not really intervene in the Vietnam War. However, because the South Vietnamese army was too cruel and was beaten to the north Vietnam and ran away in a hurry. It was completely crushed. The United States had to send troops to Vietnam for thousands of miles.

But what the United States never expected is that every tree in North Vietnam will speak! The North Vietnamese army, which is proficient in guerrilla tactics, has made the US military move around. The number of casualties of the US military has continued to increase, but there is no way to deal with them. Who can swallow this tone? The US military has conveniently asked President Johnson to reinforce again to Vietnam. The US military, whose strength has doubled, has advanced rapidly and is about to reach North Vietnam. At this time, Chairman Mao warned the United States:
"The US military must not cross the 17th-degree line of north latitude !"
The 12 words understatement made the US military shudder. Looking back on the Korean War, Chairman Mao also said almost the same thing. At that time, the US military took Chairman Mao's words as wind in his ears, causing the US military to fail on the Korean battlefield. Now the US military had to take Chairman Mao's words to heart.
Johnson was worried that this move might anger China, so he ordered American soldiers not to cross the 17th-degree north latitude line. The air force even equipped with an 17-degree line warning device, and returned immediately once it approached the 17th-degree line. So this scene happened. After the North Vietnamese army was defeated, they ran north frantically, and when the US army chased to the 17th level, they retreated like a tide.
For the United States, if the war does not expand, it will not necessarily lose, but if the war is expanded, it will definitely lose. At this time, the biggest enemy of the United States was the Soviet Union, not China. It does not need to invest a large number of troops into the Vietnam War and directly consume it with the Chinese army. Moreover, the United States has known since the Korean War that it has been known that it is not as strategic as China. China supports North Vietnam, which greatly leads to the failure of the US military to go deep into North Vietnam and launches a substantial blow to it. What's more, North Vietnam has the support of China's food and ordnance. They only need to devote themselves to the war wholeheartedly without taking into account production issues. The US military has been deeply involved in the Vietnam War for 20 years and spent nearly 250 billion US dollars, but never dared to cross the 17th line at once. In the end, due to the pressure of the situation, they could only choose to evacuate Vietnam.
Chairman Mao relies on his strong personal charm to make the people of China and even the world love each other. His far-reaching strategy leads the Chinese people to overcome obstacles and move towards infinite light!
