Today is the anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and North Korea.
Many people know that as soon as the People's Republic of China was established on October 1, 1949, North Korea took the lead in establishing diplomatic relations with my country.
But what many people don't know is when South Korea, which has been hostile to North Korea for a long time, established diplomatic relations with my country?
There are 48 countries and regions in Asia. Except for , Bhutan , which has not yet established diplomatic relations with China, and East Timor, which established diplomatic relations in 2002, South Korea did not establish diplomatic relations with my country until on August 24, 1992. The 45th country to establish diplomatic relations with China.
Prior to this, China and South Korea in different camps of the Cold War have always been opposed, isolated and even hostile to each other.
The opportunity occurred on May 5, 1983, when a sudden incident aroused the attention of the whole world.
On the same day, a Hawksherly Trident numbered B-296 was hijacked by 6 militants while flying from Shenyang to Shanghai via Dalian .
The militants wounded the pilot with a pistol and forced the plane to change its course to South Korea.
There were 105 passengers and 9 crew members on the plane. At 14:10, the hijacked passenger plane made an emergency landing at Camp Paige military airfield near Chuncheon , South Korea.
As soon as the plane landed, several US trucks immediately surrounded the plane. As soon as the door opened, the mob immediately threatened to destroy the plane and clamored to see the "Taiwan Ambassador to South Korea."
It turned out thatThe five six hijackers have strong political goals. They made a request to the South Korean authorities to send them to Taiwan .
If this happened in the 1950s, it is estimated that the South Korean authorities would immediately agree to their request, but China's international status and reputation in the 1980s have greatly improved, and 6 hijackers were detained by the South Korean authorities.
The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China immediately requested the South Korean authorities to “in accordance with the relevant provisions of the International Civil Aviation Convention, immediately return the above-mentioned aircraft together with all the crew and all passengers to the Civil Aviation of China and hijack the aircraft. The offenders will be handled by the Chinese side."
At that time, Korea and the People's Republic of China did not establish diplomatic relations at that time.
The crew and passengers of the hijacked airliner were then arranged to stay at the Sheraton Hotel in the suburbs of Seoul. The hotel expressed a warm welcome to the mainland Chinese guests who were hijacked, and also provided high-end Chinese food , Korean food and Japanese food .
On May 7, led by Shentu came to Korea for negotiations with the crew members.
The two parties held their first meeting at the Shilla Hotel .After the meeting, Shen Tu and his entourage went to the hospital to visit the injured crew member, and also visited the other crew members and passengers at the Sheraton Hotel.
On the same day, the Korean party arranged for Chinese guests who had been hijacked to visit Seoul, boarded Namsan Tower , visited department stores and Samsung Electronics ’s factories, and were affected everywhere. A warm welcome from the Korean side.
This is probably the first time that ordinary people from mainland China have traveled and exchanged in South Korea after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It also laid the foundation for the development of Sino-Korea relations in the future.
On May 8, China and South Korea reached an agreement: the passengers and crew will return to China with the delegation on the 9th; the hijacked aircraft will be returned to mainland China as soon as the technical problem is resolved; a crew member with serious injuries Will stay in Korea for treatment and return home.
However, the two sides had a great disagreement over the handling of the hijacker.
At that time, the South Korean government's flattering attitude towards the Taiwan authorities caused 6 hijackers to leave for Taiwan on August 13 of the following year. These 6 criminals arrived in Taiwan and were called the so-called "six righteous men", enjoying all kinds of things. Scenic treatment.
But the wicked eventually got a bad report. Two of them were kidnapped in Taiwan for extortion, murdered and sold. They were executed at the Tucheng Detention Center in Taiwan in 2001.
Although the result of this hijacking incident was not very satisfactory due to South Korea's indiscriminate actions, it directly contributed to the contact between China and South Korea.
Since then, the economic, trade and cultural exchanges between the two countries have begun to increase. China and South Korea successively sent delegations to participate in the 1986 Seoul Asian Games 1988 Seoul Olympic Games and 1990 Beijing Asian Games hosted by each other.
1988 Seoul Olympics
1990 Beijing Asian Games
On September 17, 1991, both Korea and Korea joined the United Nations .
Time finally came to 1992. After many rounds of negotiations, China and South Korea formally established diplomatic relations. The establishment of diplomatic relations this time marked the collapse of the Northeast Asia region Cold War system, which has written a strong mark in the history of international relations.
The history of the hijacking behind the establishment of diplomatic relations has also brought this history to a fascinating legend.
