Chapter 458 National Diplomacy
…Bow “Commander General. The light and rhythmic knocking sound of the door was not rested. Juqian Puppet Lin appeared in the living room of Duan Guoxue’s suite. Although he knew that Duan Guoxue had no rest, it felt a bit strange to see him not even changing into his pajamas.
"Yueyan just wanted to go out for a walk, so I accompanied her for a walk outside. She is now asleep." Duan Guoxue pointed to the room behind him and signaled that his wife had fallen asleep.
"I'm still trying to make up for international diplomatic etiquette?" Li Delin asked when he saw a book about international diplomatic etiquette placed in front of Duan Guoxue's coffee table.
"Yes. You are the deputy director of the foreign minister. You should be very clear that any details in diplomacy are not trivial. I don't have much experience. I won't make up for it temporarily." Duan Guoxue said helplessly. As a leader of a country, he is really not very qualified in these aspects.
"Yes. Diplomacy is nothing small. Although some people think that it is not necessary to treat these small countries with polite countries like this, this attitude of self-dominance is still very problematic. Our country has had certain misunderstandings in diplomacy since ancient times. We always believe that the world is the only one who is the only one. We receive the other party with nostrils facing the sky, which leads to gradually establishing an irresistible enemy. In fact, treating any country, nostrils are large, whether the other party's territory is strong or the country's strength is strong or weak, we should treat everyone equally with politeness.
.
Li Delin revealed his experience after serving for so long.
"Well said it well. In ancient times, China has always been a self-sufficient small peasant economy and society. Due to the particularity of the economy, China does not need to obtain economic blood transfusions and stimulation from the outside like Western countries. At the same time, because China produces a large amount of silk, tea and porcelain, this also makes China always in the trade surplus economic model in the exchange of external culture. Of course, the relationship between any two civilizations cannot be just one-way diffusion. Chinese civilization and surrounding civilizations also have the need for two-way exchanges, and historically surrounding civilizations have indeed had a significant impact on the development of Chinese civilization. However, overall, the demand for Chinese civilization in the surrounding areas is far greater than that of China for surrounding civilizations. For Chinese civilization, the significance of surrounding civilization is more complementary to the significance of surrounding civilizations. For Chinese civilization, the significance of surrounding civilization is more of a supplementary nature.
, not structural. From historical books, we can infer that the model of foreign demand for Chinese goods is greater than China's demand for foreign goods, which was already obvious in the Han Dynasty. Until the mid-19th century, this was still the basic feature of China's business relations with the outside world. It is precisely because of this that foreign trade in Chinese history was more because Chinese people were eager to obtain foreign goods, but because foreign merchants came to China to trade. Similarly, China's knowledge of the outside world was not because Chinese people rush to collect on the trade route; therefore, in general, it was because foreigners who came to China brought information and aroused the Chinese's interest. Therefore, Chinese people are more in a passive negative initiative in foreign exploration."
"Also, this is an economic relationship. Politically, culturally, and for a very long period of historical period, Chinese civilization has maintained its position as the center of East Asia and even Asian civilization. A major feature of civilization is its diffusion. The greater the potential difference between civilizations, the greater the driving force and degree of diffusion, and the greater the scope of the international system formed around this civilization. Chinese civilization has formed a strong attraction to the surrounding areas, which is the realistic basis for the formation of East Asia and Asian international systems with China as the center. At the same time, China's technological wisdom and technological output are also a big factor that attracts neighboring countries. China's technological wisdom, including from the crossbow of the Zhou Dynasty to the paper of the Eastern Han Dynasty, have deepened the gap between China and its neighbors, and thus increased the potential for growth of international relations at all levels."
"Economic and culturally, China is in a form of high and high above and not seeking others. Coupled with the so-called moral transformation and the reference of Yiqiu in Confucianism, China has never been a foreign exchange. This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. The advantages of Western civilization almost always means active external expansion, while the advantage of Chinese civilization pursues "Four barbarians come to the dynasty" and "Decision comes to the distance". One is to go and the other is to come, which is the different roots of Chinese and Western civilizations.
.
"Yes. Ten thousand courts come to congratulate you, so majestic and glorious." China gradually lost itself under such circumstances. The diplomacy at that time was completely a strong diplomacy. I remember that it started from the Han Dynasty. Although the reception of the ancient court was very cold, some small regimes still sent envoys to the Central Plains every now and then with "tributes, the reason is that the rewards of the court will always be greater than the value of the tributes, and the emperors and concierge officers in China have become fools." Li Delin was also sighing at the pain brought by the glory of the past.
"Haha. Delin, in addition to the apparent unequal income, this kind of tribute is also a kind of franchised trade in the tribute system. Some remote countries sent envoys to China not because they respected China's power, but only by joining the tribute system can they be qualified to trade with China. Moreover, this franchised trade is characterized by "a strong exchange and weak relationship; on the one hand, when the tribute envoys come to the tribute, the supply along the way is basically the responsibility of the Central Plains dynasty. The so-called reward value of the Central Plains dynasty to the tribute countries is often far from the value of the tribute countries, and it is very
For a long time, the Central Plains dynasties... the tribute countries have adopted a tax-free policy. Because of the tribute, it is a very profitable thing for China to pay tribute, so many tribute countries require tribute before the tribute period. For example, in the early Ming Dynasty, it was originally stipulated that Korea would once every three years, but North Korea repeatedly requested to change it to three tributes a year. Japan withdrew from the tribute system after Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea. However, for a long time, Japan asked the Ryukyu Kingdom, which was controlled by it, to continue to maintain its tribute relations with China to make profits."
"Then have been the biggest suckers in China?" Li Delin frowned. He also knew about these history, but it was not as detailed and thorough as Duan Guoxue said.
"On the surface, it seems that this is true, but there is another question here, that is, after obtaining various economic benefits, these tribute countries repurchase the various benefits they have obtained on their return, which is also a kind of feeding back to stimulate China's private economy. At the same time, we must also see that China has had a huge trade surplus for a long time, so under certain circumstances, this form of being a sucker is also reducing the trade surplus in disguise.
Delin, you also know that the trade surplus and deficit cannot be too large. Long-term trade surplus is not a good thing. It not only means that some of the resources are not utilized, but also increases trade frictions and increases the pressure on currency appreciation. There is a so-called "triple-paradox, or "eternal triangle." theory in economics, which means that among the three goals of monetary policy independence, exchange rate stability and complete liquidity of capital, it is possible to achieve two, and it is impossible to achieve three when it is turned away. Our reality a few days ago is that when capital flows cannot be completely controlled, the stability of the exchange rate is maintained, but the currency is partially sacrificed.
Policy independence. In the case of excessive growth in my country's investment, the shrinking monetary policy operation space has limited effect on curbing investment growth. Some foreign researchers have found that since the Ming and Qing dynasties, due to a long trade surplus, European and American countries have exported 500 million taels of silver to China in hundreds of years in order to purchase tea, porcelain, silk and other items from China. Such a large surplus has also brought some relatively obvious negative impacts. It is mainly manifested in the ease of causing new trade frictions, and the UK uses a large amount of imports of opium in order to use opium to reverse the huge trade deficit between China."
"It is this high attitude that has caused our country to have a strong diplomacy towards foreign diplomacy, which has brought deep prejudice to other neighboring countries. This barrier is not caused by one or two days. It cannot be resolved in one or two days. You see, when you and I are here, they still have a hint of pride and a look down in it. It is not good to do this." In particular, this sense of pride inadvertently revealed is more likely to hurt future diplomatic relations. After saying that Duan Guoxue sighed. Pride and pride have been too long, and it is inevitable that they will reveal their tails and hurt others when they are unintentionally. This peaceful mentality is really not easy to balance.
"The commander-in-chief is getting more and more powerful now. These problems are analyzed and judged from the essence. Li Delin cleverly put a high hat on Duan Guoxue's head.
"The award is actually because I can only have more time to study and study in this area after I am freed from scientific research. I also learned about economics with experts like Xirong and others. I have specialized in my profession, so I just use my own status to understand and know their final research results. Duan Guoxue humbly pushed off this high hat.
"It's nothing to do when I come here, mainly because this person doesn't fall asleep easily when he gets old. Seeing that the commander-in-chief is still on, I run to the commander-in-chief and come over to chat, and spit bitterness at you." After listening to Duan Guoxue's long analysis, Li Delin then spoke out the main purpose of his heart.
"Oh? What's wrong with you like this?" Duan Guoxue was a little curious after hearing this. Li Delin has been known for his good temper since the United Parliamentary period. What made him so distressed.
"We are different from the commander-in-chief. You are still maintaining the energy and physical condition of youth. But we are different, getting older year by year. At the same time, with the increase of national territory and the increasing number of wartime events, the supervision and diplomacy has become a bit overwhelmed by me. Look, you and I are the first and second leaders of China. According to convention, you and I cannot visit abroad at the same time to keep one person at home to respond to emergencies. But now the first and first generations of semi-talents we have cultivated have still insufficient political management and administration. The second generation of talents is too young to take on such a heavy responsibility. Now many administrative positions lack suitable talents. This is not a good phenomenon. Li Delin's words are complaining and a disguised warning.
"Delin, you are reminding me that we had paid too much attention to the cultivation of scientific and technological talents before, and now there has been a shortage of administrative talents, right?" Duan Guoxue saw Li Delin's final intention and bluntly pointed out the meaning of Li Delin's words. Although his intention was seen by Duan Guoxue, Li Delin did not deny or acknowledge it, but recognized Duan Guoxue with a smile.
"I also noticed this question, "Although the talents cultivated have rich knowledge and experience, they are still not experienced in dealing with the contact between Ergang and interpersonal relationships and even between various forces." Duan Guoxue sighed and admitted that the Democratic Party is inadequate and young. In political and diplomatic contacts, the talents of the Democratic Party are obviously not as skilled as those of the other two parties; after all, the parties have accumulated rich experience in long-term political struggles. In this regard, in addition to Li Delin and Yang Guiping, the Democratic Party really cannot find a few more people to compare with the other party.
"Delin, do you think we have appointed people from other parties to serve in the current positions of Foreign Minister and Audit?" Duan Guoxue's words seem to have some meanings of soliciting opinions, but Li Delin knew that Duan Guoxue's words have already been finalized in his heart.
"I don't have much opinion. It depends on whether you dare to use these people. I know that among these two parties, some people are very capable people. Among them is a senior leader of the Social Democratic Party. Although I don't like the Social Democratic Party, I have to admit that since I had several contacts with him in the United Parliament, I have to admit that he has also been conquered by him. He has the most perfect personality charm in the world. Even among the representatives of other parties and forces before that, he is the person who can deal with each other and interact with each other in various identities. He is famous for his best eloquence, his flexible wrist and his best at resolving conflict intentions. His flexible wrists cooperate with strong will, fully showing his public and private
A clear attitude, which has won unanimous respect from friends or enemies, is really a rare leader in history. The talents he showed have greatly attracted everyone who came into contact with him. He has a great sense of humor and is good at grasping the situation. His frank attitude and his profound understanding of history and philosophy are amazing. Everyone who has come into contact with him will agree that he is undoubtedly a flexible politician and an experienced leader. He speaks elegantly and full of charm. He has a good memory and admirable eloquence. If he is allowed to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, I believe he will be the best Foreign Minister in the world!" Li Delin carefully mentioned this competitor he admired.
"I know what you are hesitating about. Looking at the current domestic situation, although we have appointed people from other parties in some municipal and county-level administrative and legal institutions, there is no precedent in such a high-level core position. I can understand your concerns, and I also know what kind of praise and doubts will appear within the party if such an appointment occurs." Duan Guoxue also knows very well what kind of rumors will appear within the party if such a situation occurs.
"But even so, I personally think we are worth a try. Because no matter what, this person has been asked about whether he is a Chinese or a Social Democratic Party. What he answered was that he was a nationalist first. As long as he put aside political differences, he could seek more benefits for China! At the same time, I also believe that this move can resolve domestic political repression as much as possible and make a trend. Our Democratic Party will not be as nepotist as the Congress Party. Although some other party members were appointed at a small scale and at a small level in the past, now we still have to expand this situation so that all those who participate in politics know that when everyone follows the rules of the game, any talent is the help we need for the rise of China!" Li Delin expressed his opinion in one breath. In his opinion, such a great person is really too talented in the mountains of the country. His stage should be broader.
"I agree that diplomacy is nothing small. Instead of fighting with you and me in a half-tongued manner, it is better to leave it to a great person like him to deal with it. Haven't we discussed it? China's foreign diplomacy has always been carried out in a high position since ancient times, but after the Opium War and the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it has always been inferior. Pride and humility contradict each other in the hearts of the Chinese people. Even if you and I are in contact with subordinate countries like Vietnam, they will inevitably have some arrogance and cause unhappiness to each other. I believe that he is the only one who can put down his posture and communicate with equal friends when China is strong, or they can fight with great powers without being humble or arrogant when facing the great powers. On this point, no one can do better than him!" Duan Guoxue became more and more excited, because this person is definitely the best and most suitable candidate.
"Then the commander-in-chief agreed? Is the commander-in-chief worried that we are just wishful thinking and are not afraid that the Social Democratic Party will not let go?" Li Delin finally explored Duan Guoxue's tone.
"Agree, of course I agree. In the past, rashly raising non-DPE members to such a high core position is not mature, but now both the domestic political environment and the external environment are mature. We should create a more relaxed political situation to alleviate domestic political conflicts, and at the same time put the elites from other parties on a better stage and position to exert their strength. This is a signal, a signal and invitation from a political country that participates in the political circle. I believe they will agree to him to hold such a position.
And didn’t you say that he is a nationalist. At the same time, I also know: He is the person in the world who knows the best way to unite all power! He will definitely agree!!” Read the version!
