1954 is the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the closest stage of Sino-Soviet relations.
On September 29, Khrushchev led a huge Soviet delegation to Beijing. This was not only Khrushchev's first visit to China, but also the first visit of the Soviet leader to China. Therefore, it was greatly welcomed by our country. Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou, Liu Shaoqi and other leaders all went to the airport to welcome it.
At that time, the Soviet-style hug was very popular between socialist countries , and European countries even had two men kiss each other, which was not in line with the etiquette of the Chinese people, but out of politeness, Chairman Mao still hugged Khrushchev warmly.
At the welcome banquet, Khrushchev was in a good mood and chatted with Chairman Mao, saying, "I just visited Vladivostok and found that the scenery there was beautiful!"
Chairman Mao frowned when he heard the Russian name, and then smiled and said, "I know you are talking about Vladivostok ."
Khrushchev has always been careless, not knowing that he accidentally touched a scar of the Chinese. He continued, "Well, it's this place. I found that there is too few people there and it is urgently needed to develop and build. However, the Soviet Union is too big and there are too few people. We really don't have enough people to send there. China has a population of 500 million. Can we send 1 million people there? What about construction in the country? "
Chairman Mao thought for a moment after hearing this and said: "Comrade Khrushchev, what is the image of the old China in the world? It is a place where Western powers are competing to find cheap coolies and cheap resources. You don't want other countries in the world to think that the Soviet Union is looking for cheap Chinese coolies, right? "
Since Opium War , Western powers have constantly plundered and sold Chinese labor, and went to the United States, Australia, South America and other regions to work as laborers. They also insultedly called "selling piglets". There is even a new word "cooly" describing Chinese labor in Western vocabulary, which is the homonym of "cooly" in Chinese dialect .
This situation has not changed until the Republic of China, and has always been a pain in the hearts of the Chinese. After the founding of New China, Chairman Mao has been committed to national rejuvenation , and of course this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen again!
Another reason is that the Soviet government is very unfriendly to local indigenous Chinese and other Asian residents. Originally, there were many Chinese and Koreans in Vladivostok, but on the eve of World War II , in order to prevent the infiltration of the Japanese, Stalin actually forcibly loaded hundreds of thousands of Koreans and Chinese on tank trucks and transported them to the distant Central Asian region. Many people died on the road!
is not far away. Of course, the new China must avoid the new tragedy .
After Khrushchev returned to the hotel, Soviet Foreign Minister Migoyang gave him advice, because Migoyang often came to China and knew the painful history of Chinese invasion of Tsarist Russia in history, and was more aware that their so-called Far East was all Chinese territory in history, and it was a scar that the Chinese could not heal, so they could not touch them in front of the Chinese.
Moreover, labor issues are a very complex problem around the world. If there is a slight inappropriate problem, a series of hidden dangers will arise. Introducing such a large labor force population, not to mention whether it will bring hidden dangers in public security to the local area, over time, new problems of national integration and taking root will also arise. In Chinese, it is "it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God."
The most important thing is that when Chinese people come to these lands that were originally China, they will not have new ideas. By then, it will not be a problem of social security. It may lead to ethnic conflicts and national disputes. This situation is too common in world history!
After hearing this, Khrushchev was also scared and sweated in a cold sweat, knowing that he had said the wrong thing.
Let’s talk about China, Chairman Mao clearly expressed his rejection at the time, but after thinking about it after he went back, he felt that his approach was inappropriate.
In the world at that time, the output and input of labor were very normal exchanges. Many countries even formulated special policies to encourage the export of excess labor to earn foreign exchange.
The reason why the laborers in old China were preyed on the weak was mainly because the Chinese government was too corrupt and incompetent to protect the interests of its compatriots. Now that the new China has been established, the people are masters of their own country, which is no longer comparable to those in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. As long as a reasonable agreement is signed with the Soviet government, it is completely feasible to stipulate that the salary of Chinese workers is not lower than that of Soviet workers.
Moreover, China urgently needed foreign exchange income at that time, and many people were still unemployed, which was just killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?
Therefore, at the talks the next day, Chairman Mao raised the topic again and expressed his agreement with the Soviet Union's request.
However, Khrushchev deliberately avoided this topic and said about his side.
Chairman Mao did not give up and continued to ask questions. Khrushchev then said that Far East economy is underdeveloped and cannot accept so many people at once and cannot be resettled.
Chairman Mao also said that 1 million people cannot digest it, so he can send 200,000 people to him first. Khrushchev smiled awkwardly and agreed verbally.
However, when it came to actual operation, the Soviets changed their minds again and accepted only two thousand people sent by our country. Later, there was no further information.
Until today, in the Russian Far East still has a serious population shortage problem. Russia often makes noises, wanting the Chinese to develop and build, but there has been a lot of thunder and little rain. After all, Russians still have concerns.
