On October 25, 1971, the United Nations passed Resolution No. 2758, restoring the legitimate rights and interests of New China in the United Nations organization. It is worth mentioning that among the countries in favor of China's return to the United Nations, the vast majority of European countries voted in favor, including the five permanent members of France and the United Kingdom, which means that the West supports China.
Although the United States voted against it, Kissinger's secret visit to China in July of the same year was intended to normalize Sino-US relations, which inadvertently promoted US allies in the United Nations to support China's return to the United Nations.
In fact, although the United States at the time blocked the New China from taking back its due rights in every possible way at the United Nations, it can be seen from Kissinger's memory that the United States did not reject it in its heart, it was just a matter of face. The change in U.S. relations was a revolutionary change in the international situation at that time, and it would certainly lead to the overall improvement of China’s international status. It was inevitable to return to the United Nations, and this was also the first step in the normalization of Sino-U.S. relations. After Kissinger saw the resolution report, he laughed: I didn't expect it to come so soon.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, the chairman's article "Farewell, Stuart " declared that the first diplomatic contact between New China and the United States had failed, and the responsibility was entirely on the side of the United States. The United States insisted that the Chinese Communist Party recognize it and the United States. The Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation signed by the Kuomintang. The imperialist mentality of the United States eventually turned China and the United States into confrontation, and then the United States began to block China for more than 20 years. During the period, the two countries were still fighting against each other on the Korean Peninsula.
When the relations between the Soviet Union and China began to deteriorate, China had successive military conflicts with India and the Soviet Union, and the result was that China won.In the Vietnam battlefield, because China warned the United States not to cross the 17th parallel line, the United States was forced to follow the shadow of North Korea. Therefore, the United States was unable to attack the core areas of North Vietnam and North Vietnam, and eventually fell into the quagmire of war.
At this time, the United States suddenly discovered that since China has been excluded from the scope of international affairs decision-making, the United Nations cannot effectively intervene in Asian affairs, especially once China disagrees, even if the United Nations reaches an agreement, it is useless. The United Nations has nothing to say in Asia, and the United States and the Soviet Union dare not and cannot do anything to China, which has led to Asia becoming a "vacuum" area for the rights of the United Nations.
The United Nations is the organization used by the five permanent countries to manage the world, but Asia is not in this scope. Therefore, bringing the new China back to the United Nations is basically an inevitable trend for the United Nations to expand its influence, and globalization is also a major trend, which makes it impossible to exclude China.
The United States saw this truth, and at that time the United States was on the defensive in , the US-Soviet hegemony , so the United States urgently needed to expand its strategic breakthroughs in Asia, and China became the focus. As the saying goes, knowing the current affairs is a hero, and Nixon is obviously such a hero. This has greatly reduced the pressure on the United States during the Cold War, and China has also taken advantage of the situation to open up its diplomatic situation and become one of the decision makers in international affairs. The international status has been unprecedentedly improved.
The Soviet Union did not expect the United States to be close to China, and the Soviet Union also discovered that on the Asian side, although the United States was defeated in the Vietnam War, the shadow of the United States was still lingering. Instead, it greatly expanded its influence with the help of China. Many years ago, during the Sino-Soviet honeymoon, Asia was still developing in a direction that was beneficial to the Soviet Union, until the Soviet Union abandoned all this with its own hands, and finally lost the Cold War.
China is now one of the world's leading countries and the world's development center. However, in order to maintain its hegemonic choice, the United States has torn its face with China. In the confrontation with China, its national strength has declined sharply, and even European allies are full of dissatisfaction with the United States. On the contrary, China's adherence to reform and opening up and its adherence to the path of peaceful development has won the favor of multinational cooperation. China is the future development situation. The United States once knew it and now forgets it.
