This European country once had a very close relationship with China. Chairman Mao called it "a great lantern for European socialism" and its leaders were hailed as "a great marxist-Leninist heroic warrior".
Chairman Mao
Because this country is very poor and does not have enough funds to develop its own economy, the Soviet Union has assisted this country for 15 years, and China has also provided free assistance for 24 years.
Later, it naturally regarded China as its private "cash machine" and often reached out to ask our country for a lot of assistance.
Although the new China had just been established and the domestic economic development was in a difficult period, in order to obtain support from other countries internationally, China agreed to provide assistance to it.
However, unexpectedly, it was not only ungrateful, but also retaliated against kindness. When our country stopped aid, it immediately turned against our country everywhere and finally joined the capitalist camp .
But the truth of heaven is clear and retribution is unhappy. Today's Albanian paid a heavy price for everything that he had done.
Albania
So why did China stop aid to Albania? How is it now developing without Sino-Soviet aid?
"Rural Eagle Country" - Albania
Albania is a small country located in Balkans . Its flag is painted with a double-headed black eagle, so Albania is also called "Rural Eagle Country".
Its land area is less than 30,000 square kilometers and its population is less than 3 million.
It can be said that Albania is a small place. Whether in Europe or the whole world, Albania has a low sense of existence, and many people even don’t know that this country exists.
Albania was ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1415 to 1912. After the end of World War II, Albania was led by the "old friend of the Chinese people" Envil Hocha .
Albanian
Enver Hocha, born in 1908, went to France to study. When he was in France, he came into contact with Marxism and was deeply influenced by Marxism. He decisively dropped out of school, participated in French Communist Party , and wrote an article in newspapers to criticize the Albanian regime.
At the age of 28, he returned to Albania and worked as a teacher in a middle school.
At this time, there was already a communist organizational force in Albania. He began to contact the communist organizations in China and gradually became the leader.
html After 2003, Albania was occupied by Italian fascism, and the people of Albania also launched an anti-fascist war.During the period when resisting the invasion of Italian fascism, Hocha formally formed the Communist Party of Albania and was elected as one of the leaders of the Party Central Committee. Later, his status and rights within the party continued to rise step by step.
Envil Hocha
Hocha is an ambitious man. In order for himself and the Communist Party to gain a foothold in Albania, he will not hesitate to eradicate all potential enemies.
At the same time, he also led the Albanian Communist Party to carry out a large-scale land transformation, confiscating all the landlords' land and turning the factories into state-owned. This practice won the hearts of the people for Hocha to a certain extent.
After driving away the Italian fascism, Hocha changed Albania to Albania and served as the leader of the republic himself.
In terms of politics, he firmly implemented Stalinism , and he implemented whatever policy the Soviet Union implemented.
In terms of diplomacy, he has close ties with Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union.
Enver Hocha
In fact, before 1948, Albania's political decision-making power had been controlled by the Yugoslav faction, and Albania was also ready to be merged by Yugoslavia and became the seventh franchise republic of Yugoslavia .
By 1948, due to the Balkans and political issues, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union had great differences, and the relationship between the two countries was broken. Yugoslavia was also expelled from the organization by Comintern .
In order to please the Soviet Union, Hocha immediately broke off diplomatic relations with Yugoslavia, expelled the advisers sent by Yugoslavia, tore up the bilateral agreement between the two countries, and promoted anti-Yugoslavian ideas at home, while promoting Stalin , calling him the "national hero" of Albania.
Stalin
Hotha chose to hold the Soviet Union's thighs: one was that the Soviet Union was a world power that could compete with the United States at that time, and being a Soviet brother was more promising than being a Yugoslav brother; the other was that in order to win over Hootha, the Soviet Union gave him a lot of supplies and funds and provided assistance to Albania.
And Hocha himself is a fence-in-law, he will fall to the side wherever he treats him. He is a complete " opportunistic person".
However, the Soviet Union and Albania have different national conditions and interests, so the stable relationship between the two countries cannot last long.
The Soviet Union implemented a highly centralized authoritativeism and always wanted to control and influence countries in Eastern Europe as much as possible.
Albania is a country with a spirit of opposition to power. Even if the Soviet Union gave Albania great aid, Albania would not be able to "respond to the Soviet Union" because of this.
Khrushchev
In March 1953, Stalin died, Khrushchev came to power. He severely criticized Stalinism and the various policies implemented by Stalin when he was alive, which aroused great dissatisfaction in the communist society at that time.
The one with the greatest dissatisfaction is Hoscha. Stalin is his idol. He imitates Stalin in all aspects and also implements an iron-fisted rule over the Albanian people.
Now, someone says his idol is useless and he is very angry. By 1956, the "honeymoon period" between the Soviet Union and Albania was completely over, and Hoscha claimed that the Soviet Union and Albania had broken.
Khrushchev retaliated against Hoscha. He immediately withdrew the materials and funds provided by the Soviet Union and eventually stopped trade with Albania, causing Albania, a country that was extremely dependent on exports to the Soviet Union to be hit hard.
Khrushchev
Looking for a new "money tree"
Albania lost to Soviet aid is like a fish leaving the water, and the lives of the people of Albania are about to be unable to survive.
In order to seek new vitality, Hocha set his sights on China, which has just joined the socialist camp, , and wanted to be brothers with China and get assistance from China.
He began to have frequent exchanges with China, supported China during the period of hostilities between China and the Soviet Union, and worked hard to enhance bilateral relations.
As the saying goes, "The enemy of the enemy is a friend."
Because Albania, like China, has had evil relations with the Soviet Union, so China has become good friends with Albania.
China has never been stingy with its friends. When Albania asked China for assistance, China readily agreed.
Envier Hocha
In fact, the new China was just established at that time, and its economic foundation was still very weak. There were many problems in various fields that need to be solved.
Although the Chinese people are full of enthusiasm and motivation, due to the constraints of basic conditions, their annual income is less than 100 yuan.
Even so, China still generously helped Albania, which was ravaged by war.
When Albania was blocked by international blockade, China continued to supply weapons to Albania, and tried every means to deliver guns, cannons, ships, vehicles, various ammunition and various supplies to Albania.
In addition to these, China also provides Albania with a large number of fighter jets and air defense equipment. These military weapons are freshly released by China, with excellent performance and long life. They are also the Chinese people who save money and tighten their belts from their teeth.
These things are treasures to China's own army. They gave Albania without hesitation, which shows the importance the Chinese leaders attach to Albania as their ally.
However, Albanians are becoming more and more lazy. They are not only unwilling to produce, nor are they willing to work, and they are relying on the help of the Chinese people all day long.
And their ambitions are increasing day by day, and their requirements are becoming more and more excessive. When visiting China in 1970, he asked China for 3.2 billion yuan in aid, and in 1975 he asked China for 5 billion yuan in aid.
Because China's own economic burden was already very heavy at that time, domestic calls for cuts to aid were getting louder and louder. After careful consideration, all leaders finally rejected Albania's unreasonable demands.
Albania
However, China's rejection caused great dissatisfaction in Albania.
"white-eyed wolf" who revenges for grudges
Albania believes that China's assistance to it is natural and natural. In their opinion, the reason they lost the help of the Soviet Union was because they supported China.
With this mentality in mind, Hocha once bluntly told the Chinese ambassador: "You have it, we must have it too. We ask you for help, just like a younger brother asking for help from his brother."
Due to the huge aid provided by China for a long time, the Albanians have developed a strong dependence on it.
At the same time, China has also begun to notice that Albania's economy has not improved after receiving huge financial and material assistance.
Enver Hocha
Albania itself is a major mineral country. With the materials and technical support provided by China, it will be very fast, but Albania has not developed at all.
So where are the materials and funds that China aided Albania used?
was randomly thrown into various warehouses by Hocha, making them moldy and rusty. When they want to use these materials, they go to China to ask for new ones.
When China discovered their despised behavior, it was furious. What China unexpectedly expected was that Albania even tried to interfere in China's politics and intervene in certain policies implemented by China.
Nixon visits China
When he learned about Nixon when he visited China in 1972, Holcha was furious and wrote a letter to "question" Chairman Mao: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After Holcha came to power, the United States and Britain have been trying to support parties that oppose the Communist Party of Albania and drove Holcha off the throne.
Then a puppet regime was established in Albania that was close to Western capitalist countries and began to install spies in Albania.
However, their intelligence was intercepted by the Soviet Union, and spies in Albania were uprooted and their plans failed.
plus the opposition between capitalist and socialist state , Hocha hated the United States very much.
So when he saw Sino-US relations start to break the ice, he was both angry and panic.
20th century Albanian
However, he has no qualifications to interfere in China's political choices.
In addition, as early as 1964 when our country went to the Soviet Union to attend the October Revolution celebration, he wrote a letter to condemn our actions and demanded that China never reconcile with the Soviet side.
However, China is an independent country and hates any interference in China's internal affairs.
Holcha's attempt to interfere in China's internal affairs is a serious violation of China's sovereignty, which made Chairman Mao and other leaders very dissatisfied.
Middle leaders began to reassess China's aid to Albania, believing that money and material aid cannot fundamentally solve the problems in Albania and can only make it more dependent on China, so they began to reduce aid to Albania.
Enville Hocha
0After Chairman Mao’s death in 1976, the new leader came to power, Hocha hysterically criticized China’s policies to the United States and Western Europe and the practices of Chinese leaders as a revenge on China.
Hocha accused China of "damaging Albania's economy" and also blatantly accused most of the people in the Chinese embassy of being spies. Hocha's actions have reached an incredible level.
Fan Chengzuo After hearing this, Mr. Fan Chengzuo was very angry and said, "Since you said that giving you aid is to destroy your economy, then let's just remove it."
is intolerable, and China finally stopped aid to Albania in 1978.
After losing economic aid, Hocha immediately broke up with China and began to strongly oppose Chairman Mao’s “Three Worlds” and other propositions, oppose the reform and opening up of implemented by China, and opposed us many times, and even deliberately voted against China on certain international issues.
Fan Chengzuo
In April 1985, Hocha died, and the new leader also went further and further on Hocha's wrong path.
Until 1991, Eastern Europe changed drastically, and Albania abandoned its socialist system and announced the implementation of the capitalist system.
Horcha knew about this news and was afraid that he would be so angry that he would overturn the lid of the coffin.
Albania originally had a good hand, with both the aid from the Soviet Union and China, and its own rich mineral resources, but it was beaten to pieces by Hocha.
He did not think about making Albania independent, but had always relied on free aid from other countries
If he had chosen to develop himself with the help of external forces and take the path of independence, it would not be what it is now.
Chinese aid supplies
For more than 20 years, China has been aiding Albania, with the total amount of aid provided to it reaching more than 10 billion yuan, and rescued it from the shadow of war.
But this country is not only lazy but also greedy, and eventually becomes enemies with our country.
Albania is now the most backward country in Europe, with half of its population going abroad and heavily in debt.
The case of Albania also illustrates one thing: the country should be more careful in the process of foreign aid, conduct field inspections and assessments of the aid recipients.
Being generous and generous does not have much benefit to the establishment of friendly relations. If the aid recipient cannot develop its own economy with the support of materials and funds, then the aid is meaningless and will instead encourage the aid recipient to be lazy.
Albania
After a long time, it will be backfired, which will affect your own country's development and go against the original intention of development.
