Sino-US relations are not peaceful, and the reason is naturally due to Americans. However, many public intellectuals still admire the United States.
For example, American Gao Xiaosong said: "The best big country for China is the United States. " Wuhan Writers Association Fang Fang Ms. Fang Fang said: "The Americans have the highest quality." Let's first say the sentence "The best big country for China is the United States"? Is this really the case? Has the United States never invaded China? The United States has hurt China at least 8 times.
01 The United States sells opium and economic invasion Qing Dynasty
The reason why the United States invaded China was relatively less because the United States was founded late and started late. When the Americans came to China, Britain, France, Russia and Japan had already taken the lead and defined their sphere of influence, but the United States had no chance. But the "open door" policy can also be regarded as aggression.
The United States began to import opium into China since 1805. From the past 30 years from 1805 to 1837, a total of 14,169 boxes of opium were imported to China (Shaoxi: Total figures in the appendix of the "Opinion of the United States on China in the 19th Century"). When Lin Zexu banned smoking, the United States did not hand over it, but instead adopted delays. For example, Qichang Foreign Exchange has 50 boxes hidden and not handed over. Although the United States did not directly participate in the Opium War , it sent warships to China to support Britain in launching the war.
02 During the two Opium Wars, the first treaty signed between China and the United States was the unequal treaty.
842 After the signing of the " Nanjing Treaty ", the United Kingdom received a lot of privileges and the United States was very jealous. In February 1844, American officer Gu Sheng led four warships to Macau and conducted diplomatic blackmail against the Qing government. After both soft and hard work, on July 4, the Qing government finally forced the Qing government to sign the "HTM1 Wangxia Treaty ", without any fire and bullets. It not only obtained all the privileges of Britain, but also expanded the privileges of aggression: it expanded the authority of consular judges in ; it obtained the privileges of warships to drive at arbitrarily at the trade ports in China and required China to be responsible for entertainment and setting up churches at trade ports.
When Britain and France launched the Second Opium War , the United States used two-faced methods, showing neutrality and friendship with China, while actively supporting Britain and France's aggression. American writer Daniet couldn't stand such despicable behavior. In his book "Americans in East Asia", he said: " has never played a more shameless role in international politics." As before, the United States used both soft and hard methods, and without any effort, it tricked the Qing Dynasty into signing the " Tianjin Treaty ". Countless facts have proved that the United States is not only an invader, but also a "snake that turns into a beautiful woman", which is much more cunning than the "snake that reveals its fangs". ''
03 Help the Qing government suppress Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement
851 Taiping Heavenly Palace Uprising broke out and established its capital in Tianjing (Nanjing). US Minister Masali told Governor Yiliang of Liangjiang: "As long as the Chinese emperor announces freedom of religion, thought and belief in China, and allows all countries with treaty relations with China to enter and exit freely in all places in China, open up the Yangtze River and its tributaries, and use foreign steamships to navigate." The United States can assist the Qing government in suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution. ‘’The United States’ Wall Guns directly intervened in the suppression of the Chinese people. How much Chinese blood is covered with Chinese people when Americans use foreign guns and cannons to massacre the Chinese people?
04 Eight-Nation Alliance's War of Invasion of China , the United States was also a member
On May 28, 1900 AD (the 26th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty), an armed war of aggression against the Qing Empire was composed of eight major countries at that time, led by Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Japan, Russia and the United States.
900, the Boxer Movement became the fuse of the Eight-Nation Alliance's war invasion of China. Using this as an excuse, the Eight-Nation Alliance conducted the reality of dividing and plundering the Qing Empire in the name of suppressing the Boxer .The total number of troops invading China was about 50,000, well-equipped and powerful. On August 14, 1900, the city of Beijing was completely destroyed. Wherever the Eight-Nation Alliance went, they killed, set fire, raped, and looted! There are countless treasures that have been stolen and looted from Forbidden City , Zhongnanhai , Summer Palace ! Among them, the famous ,000 Gardens " Old Summer Palace " was robbed after British and French coalition and finally turned into ruins.
Commander-in-Chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance Wadesi later admitted that "all the losses suffered by the Qing Empire this time will never be found, but the numbers will definitely be extremely important." On September 7, with the signing of the " Xinchou Treaty ", China has since completely become a semi-colonial semi-feudal society, bringing unprecedentedly painful disasters to the country and people at that time.
05 noon 895 War , the United States helped Japan transport troops
867, the United States sent troops to attack Taiwan by force, but was defeated by the residents of the Gaoshan tribe. The United States failed to succeed in its invasion of Taiwan, so it supported Japan and soon came up with advice. On May 8, 1874, with the encouragement and actual support of the United States, Japan invaded Taiwan and was strongly resisted. By the time of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894-1895, the United States stood on the side of supporting Japan and finally helped Japan to invade Taiwan by signing the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Shimonoseki . What’s ridiculous is that Li Hongzhang also attracts Americans as reliable "friends" and invites Americans to serve as contracted consultants!
06, on the condition that the Soviet Union sent troops, separated Outer Mongolia without China's permission,
Stalin occupied China's Tangnu Wulianghai , the entire Heixiazi Island , forcing Outer Mongolia to break away from China's independence, etc., which caused great harm to China.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, due to the great casualties of the US military in battles such as the Midway Island Naval Battle. Roosevelt hoped that the Soviet Union would send troops to reduce the casualties of the US. In order to urge the Soviet Union to send troops to resolve the Japanese Kwantung Army. Without notifying China, Roosevelt of the United States signed the " Yalta Agreement " with the Soviet Union on February 11, 1945 (also known as " Yalta Secret Comprehensive ") involving Outer Mongolia and China's sovereignty. It stipulates: "The current situation of Outer Mongolia (Mongolian People's Republic of ) should be maintained."
This is a serious act of aggression against China by the United States.
07 supports warlord separatism and helps Chiang Kai-shek fight civil war
Beiyang warlords During the rule of the rule of the country, the United States and Britain supported warlords such as the Zhili ( Feng Guozhang , Cao Kun , Wu Peifu ), Yunnan (Longyun), Guangxi ( Li Zongren ), and long-term separatist warlords such as the Anhui and Fengtian gangs supported by Japan, which brought serious disasters to the Chinese people!
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to realize its global strategy, the United States implemented a policy of supporting Chiang Kai-shek against the Communist Party, paid money and guns to help Chiang Kai-shek fight the civil war, and took the opportunity to sign new unequal treaties with the Kuomintang government and gain new privileges of aggression. American goods poured into the Chinese market like a tide, dealing a fatal blow to national industries, which is one of the reasons for the collapse of the national economic zone. The Americans appear to be fair and mediate the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but in fact they are on the side of the Kuomintang.
08 Korean War , the United States bombed China's border
1950, US President Truman ordered the US Far East Air Force stationed in Japan to assist South Korea in combat. At the same time, US military aircraft took turns to bomb the Dandong region of China, which was intolerable. On June 27, the US Seventh Fleet, , was ordered to enter the two ports of Keelung, , Kaohsiung, , and patrol the Taiwan Strait, , and prevent the Chinese People's Liberation Army from crossing the sea to liberate Taiwan.
In addition, the United States refused to return Diaoyu Islands despite the provisions of international documents such as the " Cairo Declaration ", but handed it over to Japan, causing the Diaoyu Islands to fall into Japan's hands and it is still difficult to return China.In the conflict in the South China Sea, the United States also secretly supported , Philippines, , Vietnam and other countries to compete with China for territorial sovereignty and economic resources.
In short, America does invade China less, but it hurts a lot. Due to objective reasons, the United States did not directly annex the Chinese territory of the Qing Dynasty, but its harm was no less than that of Tsarist Russia and Japan after the Meiji Restoration.
