In 1984, Geng Biao, then chairman of the China Foreign Affairs Committee, said something that should not be said at a meeting, which caused Deng Xiaoping to get angry rarely.
At that time, at the press conference, China and the United Kingdom were in fierce negotiations on the Hong Kong issue.
Britain does not want to return Hong Kong, which is well known, but as the situation develops, the old colonial era is gone forever, and Britain has to bow its head.
But they are still stumbling to China. During the reporter's Q&A session of the Sino-British negotiations, a Hong Kong reporter asked Geng Biao a sharp question: "The people of Hong Kong are afraid of garrisons. Do you have to garrison in Hong Kong?"
Geng Biao
Carelessly speaking
This question is quite unfriendly. Everyone knows that the UK is unwilling to let the People's Liberation Army enter Hong Kong. At first, they even made absurd statement that they hope to continue to station British troops in Hong Kong.
This request was of course refuted by Deng Xiaoping mercilessly, but they were still unstoppable. Since Britain could not station troops in Hong Kong, they did not want Chinese troops to go to Hong Kong.
The two sides have made a long tug-of-war against this issue, which of course has attracted the attention of major media, especially those in the West, who are just waiting to make a fuss about this matter.
garrisons are a very sensitive topic around the world. After all, the quality of the army is uneven, and in the Western values of democracy and freedom, garrisons seem to be a kind of control over Hong Kong.
Of course, no matter how Western media discredit it, it is an indisputable fact that the People's Liberation Army wants to station troops in Hong Kong. If we compromise on such an important issue, Britain will use more conspiracies in the future.
So, this is a very serious matter and you must never speak randomly. On such an occasion, the reporter asked such a question and obviously the person who came here was not good.
But at that time, as a professional who had experienced countless diplomatic occasions, Geng Biao's performance disappointed Deng Xiaoping.
At that time, Geng Biao was already very tired. He had already answered many questions, and he was busy with the work at hand. So, instead of thinking about the trap in the reporter's words, he answered vaguely: "We may not necessarily garrison."
is this sentence, but it caused a huge disaster.
Britain was waiting for such a handle, so the next day, media across the West reported overwhelmingly that the Chinese government agreed not to station troops in Hong Kong. Deng Xiaoping was surprised to see such a report. How could we say such words? After checking
, I found out that the source was Geng Biao's unintentional words at the meeting.
However, the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and the others have already prepared a complete set of traps, just waiting for Geng Biao's words.
Deng Xiaoping is usually a gentle person, but this time, he couldn't suppress his anger.
Over the past few days, in order to negotiate with the UK and to be able to completely recover Hong Kong, everyone has paid too much. If this sentence causes trouble, it will be a huge loss.
The British are really good at manipulating public opinion. So, what we need to do is to respond as soon as possible, and we must not watch the British dig the trap bigger and bigger, and finally trap us in it.
You should know that Hong Kong is at the forefront of the storm at this moment, and contradictions are about to break out. The entire Hong Kong society has been ruled by the British government for hundreds of years and has been deeply influenced by British culture.
For a long time, the British have brainwashed education for young people in Hong Kong, and over time, a large number of social borers have been cultivated.
After getting the newspaper, some people in Hong Kong immediately promoted Geng Biao's words. The main direction is to promote China's fear of Britain and dare not station troops in Hong Kong, and it also said that only the British government can provide protection to Hong Kong.
frontal strikeback
Ordinary citizens have no way to get the message accuracy.Under this circumstance, a sense of panic spread in Hong Kong society, and people's trust in the People's Liberation Army is declining.
has not returned yet, but one sentence has caused conflicts among compatriots. This is really a big deal.
Deng Xiaoping did not dare to delay, so he immediately called Geng Biao. When he learned the whole story, Geng Biao also regretted it. It's a lot of calculations, but I didn't expect that a single sentence could make the British take advantage of the loopholes.
Deng Xiaoping said to Geng Biao very angry: "I have the final say for Hong Kong in the future! The Prime Minister has the final say! The Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office has the final say!"
Geng Biao admitted his mistake to Deng Xiaoping very sincerely. However, it is useless for Geng Biao to admit his mistakes. We must find a way to crack the British conspiracy and intrigues. Such news must not be allowed to ferment.
So, on May 25, Deng Xiaoping publicly said at the meeting: "China has the right to garrison troops in Hong Kong! Hong Kong is China's territory, why can't it be garrison troops? Without this power, what is the Chinese territory!"
This is indeed the best way to fight back. The British are good at manipulating public opinion and make a mess of storm in one sentence. The best way to break the sensational public opinion is to fight back head-on and show our attitude.
Deng Xiaoping made China's attitude very tough. We must take back Hong Kong. No matter what means the British use, they have no way to stop the process of China's unification.
Deng Xiaoping's sentence has a very good effect.
Some Western media have heard the news. Now, Chinese leaders have publicly released their rumors to refute the rumors. If they continue to report fake news, they will undoubtedly make themselves a joke. Therefore, the storm was soon suppressed.
But of course, everything is not over yet. Before , Hong Kong will not stop their small actions, and from the day they occupy Hong Kong, they will continue to use conspiracies.
Colonialism
When Britain got Hong Kong, it was their heyday as the "Empire of the Sun Never Set". Almost every land in the world had colonial footprints left by the British. Britain made a fortune through these colonies and made a lot of money.
It is precisely because of these wealth plundered from the colonies that Britain became the world's largest power.
Until now, although the "Empire of the Sun Never Set" is no longer famous, the wealth accumulated in the past still gives Britain a place in a powerful country, but these glory will always be accompanied by dirt.
The history of every colony is a history of blood and tears, and Hong Kong is no exception.
Compared with those lands in Africa, the only lucky thing about Hong Kong is that it has not been simply and roughly transformed into a factory or plantation in the UK, because the British found that Hong Kong has a unique geographical location and it is more suitable as a trading center.
Therefore, the UK made the most of this superior port, and countless trade exchanges were carried out on the land of Hong Kong, and a large amount of trade brought amazing wealth.
Before Hong Kong returned, it could generate tens of billions of revenue for the UK every year. Among the many British colonies, Hong Kong's revenue generated by it has always been in the top three.
But in sharp contrast, the poverty of the people at the bottom of Hong Kong.
As an old colonial empire, Britain is cruel and arrogant at its core, and they ruled Hong Kong with the most cruel means.
In the old days, although most of the residents living here were born in Hong Kong, any company or the upper level of government departments was Western.
A native Hong Kong person cannot get any channels for growth in Hong Kong.
The UK regards Hong Kong as its back garden and has gained all the benefits. At the same time, it has continuously suppressed the Hong Kong people and told them that they should serve the British.
This result is very terrible.

A native Hong Kong person cannot get any channels for growth in Hong Kong.
The UK regards Hong Kong as its back garden and has gained all the benefits. At the same time, it has continuously suppressed the Hong Kong people and told them that they should serve the British.
This result is very terrible.Many young generations in Hong Kong habitually speak English and use English names, but the connection with the mainland has become increasingly weak.
However, obedience does not bring peace. Under the rule of the British, on the one hand, it was a rich colonist, while on the other hand, the underworld prevailed in the lower class, money laundering, corruption, and corruption have become commonplace. Even the police colluded directly with the gangster.
The British will not have any true feelings for a piece of stolen land. What they want is only to maximize their interests.
The chaos in Hong Kong is not harmful to the British, this is the situation they want to see, and they deliberately guided such chaos.
chaos frequently occurred
In fact, as early as when the founding of New China , Chairman Mao had thought about the issue of recovery in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places. Chairman Mao’s opinion is: We must regain these lands, but the timing of regaining is a big problem.
With China's national strength at that time, it was not able to use military power. If you want peaceful negotiations, it is unlikely to be given the international environment at that time, so you can only continue to wait for this matter.
Until the time came ripe in 1982, we finally sat on the same negotiating table as the UK.
But the attitude of the UK can also be imagined. Thatcher Facing a series of demands put forward by Deng Xiaoping, he was concerned about his side.
was forced into a dead end, and Thatcher even absurdly proposed: they want to exchange sovereignty for power, hoping to continue to leave people belonging to the UK in Hong Kong.
Thatcher's reaction made Deng Xiaoping very angry. If this continues, Hong Kong will only lay more hidden dangers by the UK.
Therefore, Hong Kong's return could no longer wait. When Britain signed an unequal treaty with the Qing government, the lease period lasted until 1997. So, in 1997, they had to return to Hong Kong, and the UK had to agree to this condition.
At this moment, Britain is on a downward tide, while New China is gradually rising.
But after signing this agreement, the UK began to regret it. Although it was still a long time before 1997, it was difficult for them to accept it. Therefore, they began to use the period before Hong Kong's return to do their best to try their best to prevent Hong Kong's return.
The trap at the press conference in 1984 is just a trick, and the bigger hidden danger lies in Hong Kong society itself.
Under the British rule for many years, Hong Kong society has been in frequent chaos, and even the British government sometimes finds it difficult to control it.
Now, they have completely let go and no longer restrain themselves. The underworld is getting more and more crazy. The police station receives many reports every day, but they allow the case to be backlogged and do not deal with it.
As the people's complaints grew, the British government began to relax welfare again, and everyone could get a large amount of welfare funds from the British government.
The sudden change in the British government's attitude made many ordinary people in Hong Kong confused.
In the past, British colonists sucked their bones and marrows, hoping to collect taxes on every item of their lives, but now, it is really rare to see money from the British!
But the purpose behind the British do this is self-evident.
The British know that New China will definitely not be able to bear the huge welfare expenses they have.
When Hong Kong returns, these welfare policies will disappear, and there will be a huge gap in the hearts of Hong Kong people. At that time, it will be much easier to create chaos.
At the same time, the UK has carefully selected a large number of intellectuals and went to the UK for exchanges and learning.
This may sound like a good thing, but it is by no means the fact that these people are treated preferentially as soon as they arrive in the UK. What they learn is not professional skills but some political things.
alarm bells
You should know that these elites who have received higher education in the UK will definitely gain a higher status than ordinary people when they return to Hong Kong in the future, and even enter the Hong Kong government and become senior officials.
But these people selected by the British are of course all pro-British in their hearts, and these borers will gradually penetrate into the government.
The British made a wonderful abacus. Although they left on the surface, they still had a dream of continuing to rule Hong Kong. Such a conspiracy lasted until the day when Hong Kong truly returned.
The British believe that such a mess will not have good results even if the People's Liberation Army comes.
However, the facts made the British stunned. After the People's Liberation Army came to Hong Kong, it did not harm the people and won the respect of the people.
Seeing the People's Liberation Army that does not take the people one by one, the people of Hong Kong feel like they are returning to heaven from hell.
Of course, many hidden dangers still exist. The careful layout of the UK over the years has left Hong Kong with stubborn diseases that are difficult to cure, but as long as there is enough time, it will be cured one day.
History tells us that regaining Hong Kong is a difficult process.
A country like Britain that has developed by dirty colonial rule may never learn to look at historical mistakes positively.
So, all we have to do is to keep the alarm bell ringing.
In the future, we will encounter many difficulties, but as long as we have confidence and the courage to deal with it in time, we can always survive the difficulties.
