Chapter 55 Diplomacy is no small matter

"Comrade Fang, don't talk nonsense. The Prime Minister said back then that 'diplomacy is no small matter'!" Qiu Mingli said coldly.

Fang Mingyuan knew that the Prime Minister who was beloved by the Chinese people indeed said in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China that "diplomacy is no small matter" and used this to warn government personnel engaged in diplomatic work. Because diplomacy represents a country and the work of the government, the main thing is

The targets are all dignitaries and people in power from various countries, so there are no small things in the diplomatic field that can be taken lightly. If you don't care about some small things, it is likely to lead to big mistakes and cause irreparable losses. Treat "small things" as "big things"

Only in this way can there be fewer loopholes.

The ancients said that "misfortunes are often accumulated through negligence, and wisdom and courage are often trapped by drowning." The Prime Minister knows this very well, so he often warns those engaged in diplomatic work to consider every aspect and every detail of the matter as much as possible.

All kinds of problems that may arise must be known in advance. Therefore, the diplomats who the Prime Minister dislikes the most use words such as "probably", "maybe", "possibly", "maybe" and "almost".

An ambiguous answer. Of course, Fang Mingyuan admired the Prime Minister from the bottom of his heart and agreed with the Prime Minister's point of view.

But! This does not mean that the Prime Minister’s request can be applied to any situation at any time! Just like Newton’s three laws, it also has its scope of application!

It is precisely because the government attaches too much importance to "diplomacy is no small matter" that after the reform and opening up, with the frequent exchanges of domestic and international personnel, Chinese people are full of diplomatic rhetoric and timid when dealing with foreigners, fearing that

Inadvertently causing an international dispute will damage the image of our great country. The root cause is that everything is called diplomacy, no matter how big or small it is!

Nowadays, the diplomatic activities of various countries in the world are becoming more and more personalized, open and transparent. The so-called "diplomacy is no trivial matter" concept only applies to governments. Abuse regardless of the occasion can easily lead to overemphasis on foreign affairs at home.

The reactions of people and foreigners can easily cause us to lose the dignity we deserve as Chinese people, making foreigners more and more unscrupulous in the country and disrespecting the Chinese people. In the future, even black African brothers who are illegally living in the country will be

He doesn’t give much face to the Chinese government and frequently causes trouble!

Looking at foreign countries, such as Singapore, a small country in Southeast Asia, in 1994, an American young man was sentenced to six strokes of the cane and four months in prison for graffitiing cars and vandalizing traffic signs in Singapore. At that time, there was an outcry in the United States and even mobilized the United States

President Clinton came forward to try to prevent Singapore from carrying out caning. However, what surprised the Chinese people was that the Singapore government's response was to give the US President some face, changing the cane from six to four, but the beating must still be done!

Perhaps in the eyes of some "international friendly people" in the country, this incident is too inhumane, and it also loses the government's diplomatic face. It is unwise to have grudges with foreign dignitaries. Now that the President of the United States has come forward,

We should just take advantage of the situation and send the people back to their countries. Wouldn't everyone be happy in this way?

But they never thought that today the President of the United States spoke, and this gift was sent back to the country. Tomorrow, the Speaker of the United States spoke, and another gift was sent back to the country. The day after tomorrow, the Justice of the United States spoke, and another gift was sent back to the country. The day after tomorrow, the Queen of England spoke.

, are we going to send another one back? After a long time, the laws promulgated by our own government are nothing but bullshit in the eyes of foreigners!

Although Singapore's law enforcement is "rough", the result is that we have never heard of reports of Western youths recklessly breaking the law in Singapore.

"Deputy Counselor Zuo You, this time in Tokyo, I heard that many people in your country claim that the Northeast is not the Northeast of China, but should be Manchukuo, right?" Fang Mingyuan turned to Zuo You and said.

Zuo Youzhimen glanced at Qiu Mingli awkwardly and prevaricated: "I'm sorry, I have been working in China and have not returned to China in the near future. I don't know about this matter."

"It doesn't matter if I don't know. I happen to have the Internet here. Let's take a look. Director Qiu can go back and report to the ministry. We also need to issue a serious protest to the Japanese government and demand that these Japanese actions that undermine Sino-Japanese relations be removed.

The citizens will be severely punished! Let them understand that the three northeastern provinces are the inalienable territory of our country!" Fang Mingyuan said sternly.

"Ahem!" Zuo Youzhimen felt that in all his years of working in China, he had never met a guy as thorny as Fang Mingyuan. Even if those in the Chinese diplomatic department had any dissatisfaction, they would never say anything like Fang Mingyuan.

You have to be straightforward and don't show any sympathy to others.

"What? What's your opinion, Deputy Counselor Zuo You? Do you think the people of your country are right, the Northeast is not China's Northeast, but should be Manchukuo?" Fang Mingyuan immediately asked.

"No, no, no!" Zuo Youzhimen was startled and waved his hands quickly, "Fang Jun, please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean it like that." What kind of international joke are you kidding? As a diplomat, if you dare to openly speak in China

If he declares that the Northeast is not China's Northeast, but should be Manchukuo, he will only face deportation from the Chinese government! Moreover, he will never get the slightest mercy from the Japanese government, and will only hate him for causing trouble to the government!

"Then Deputy Counselor Zuo You agrees with my proposal? Director Qiu, you see Deputy Counselor Zuo You thinks that we should issue an indignant protest to the Japanese government on this matter and ask the Japanese government to maintain the friendly relations between China and Japan.

, severely punish these saboteurs!" Fang Mingyuan said with joy, "Why don't you write it now and have Deputy Counselor Zuo You sign it on the spot! What a good comrade you say the Deputy Counselor is!"

Zuo Youzhimen was so angry that his face turned green! When did he agree with Fang Mingyuan's point of view? When did he agree to sign the protest letter? Such a ridiculous statement could actually be said out loud. This Fang Mingyuan

, so shameless!

As a Japanese diplomat, Zuo Yunomon has a bottom line to decide his position. Even if he has water in his head, it is absolutely impossible for him to agree with a foreign government's protest letter against his own government and still sign it? If he doesn't tear it up on the spot, it is already a big deal.

You're welcome!

Qiu Mingli also has a nose, not a nose, and a mouth, not a mouth. This Fang Mingyuan is really capable of talking nonsense and getting around everything. Submit a letter of protest to a foreign government? How can you, a civilian, do it! Aren't there just a few Japanese?

Are the Japanese people talking nonsense in Japan? If such a trivial matter requires the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a letter of protest, then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should stop doing nothing this year and protest all day long! But this is what everyone thinks

We all understand it, and we all do it, but we can’t resort to it verbally!

"Fang Jun, what I mean is that our country's constitution stipulates that citizens have freedom of speech. Speeches like this do not violate the law at all!" Zuo Guizhimen said quickly. If Fang Mingyuan continues to speak, God knows what will happen.

Words that make you vomit blood.

"Deputy Counselor Zuo You, their remarks have seriously damaged the friendly relations between China and Japan! How can such behavior be indulged and ignored?" Fang Mingyuan said with a look of disbelief, "This is blatantly undermining the unity of China.

remarks!"

"Fang Jun, this is just the opinion of a small group of Japanese citizens and does not represent the Japanese government. Our government recognizes that the three northeastern provinces are part of China's territory." Zuo Youzhimen quickly declared, "According to our country's laws, this is just

Speeches without actual actions do not violate the law." Zuo Youzhimen already regretted a little. He originally thought that coming here to deliver a protest letter was a good job, but now it seems that he is clearly asking for trouble.

?If I had known this, I might as well have just submitted the protest and left!

"Ah, that's right!" Zuo Youzhimen slapped his forehead, stood up with a look of frustration, and bowed slightly to Fang Mingyuan, "Fang Jun, Director Qiu, I have to attend a banquet later, so I need to do some things in advance.

Preparation work. My mission for this trip has been completed, so I won’t bother you any more!”

Since he opened his mouth to leave, Qiu Mingli naturally stood up as well. Anyway, Qiu Mingli could see that Fang Mingyuan obviously did not take this protest letter seriously, and there was no point even if he stayed.

"Deputy Counselor Zuo You, since you are in a hurry to leave, I won't try to persuade you to stay. After all, I can't miss your work! Then I have only one last question, and I would like to ask Deputy Counselor Zuo You to answer my questions." Fang Mingyuan.

He also stood up and said with a smile, "I kindly ask Deputy Counselor Zuo You to stay for a few more minutes."

After Fang Mingyuan's words reached this point, Zuo Youzhimen was naturally not embarrassed to leave.

“Does the freedom of speech mentioned in your country’s constitution only apply to local citizens? Or does it include other foreign citizens in Japan? For example, American citizens and British citizens? Is it their speech within your country?

Freedom is no longer protected?" As soon as Fang Mingyuan asked this question, Zuo Youzhimen regretted why he didn't shamelessly leave.

"Fang Jun, this question... I am not in a position to answer it now!" Zuo Youzhimen hesitated and said. This is a big trap. If he admits it, it will be a big handle in the hands of Qiu Mingli and Fang Mingyuan in the future. Japan is dignified

Government diplomats actually said that the freedom of speech of foreign citizens is not protected in Japan! Even if you don’t want to be an official, you don’t need to use this method, right?

But if he wanted to say that the freedom of speech of foreign citizens was also protected, he could definitely imagine that he would definitely not be able to answer Fang Mingyuan's following questions.

"Then when will it be convenient for Deputy Counselor Zuo You to answer? When will I come to ask for advice again? Is that okay?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Ah, by the way, I remember that one of the social groups in your country is called Aum.

The religious organization of the Truth Sect blatantly promotes the theory of the end of the world. Please help me, Deputy Counselor Zuo You, think about why I reminded the citizens of your country that an earthquake may occur in the near future, triggering such a strong protest from your citizens, and your country

A religion that promotes doomsday theories in China is legally registered with the government and has thousands of followers? Give me a reasonable explanation."
