Nixon’s Shameful Collusion with Beijing

IV. The Communist Devils Are Despicable and Vile

This gang of Communist devils also have very despicable and vile characters.

On February 13, 2008, BBC reported, based on newly declassified documents from the U.S. State Department, that Mao Zedong proposed sending tens of millions of Chinese women to America! In February 1973, Mao Zedong met with the visiting former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger somewhere in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, and openly talked about his views on Chinese women.

According to these American archival documents, Mao Zedong and Kissinger lit cigars and smoked from night until dawn. Their talks mainly covered the Soviet military threat to China’s northern border, the Taiwan issue, and U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

But notably, amid discussing world affairs, Mao repeatedly brought up the issue of Chinese women. According to the records, when Mao talked about the lack of economic and trade exchanges between China and the U.S., he said, “There are too many women in China.” He even expressed willingness to “first give tens of thousands of Chinese women to America for free.” Later, Mao said actually they could send ten million Chinese women to the Americans. Mao jokingly said, “If these women get to America, Americans will have more trouble.” When discussing the possibility of the Soviet Union launching a military attack on China at the time, Mao was recorded complaining that most Chinese women did not know how to fight.

According to the records, a Chinese official present warned both sides that if these conversations leaked to the Chinese public, it could cause strong dissatisfaction. It is said Mao apologized to a female translator present after making these remarks.

The U.S. side also agreed to delete these words from the records. However, at least judging from these declassified files, the U.S. State Department did not keep its promise to truly delete them. Why the U.S. side failed to keep this promise remains a historical mystery for now.

On February 17, 1973, Mao met Kissinger, and during their talk about Sino-American trade, Mao suddenly said he wanted to send Chinese women to the U.S. For easier reading, I translate the English record into Chinese as follows:

Mao: Trade volume between China and America is pitifully low but gradually increasing. You should know, China is very poor, we have nothing, but women are in surplus. (Laughter)

Kissinger: They have no quotas or tariffs.

Mao: If you want, we can give you a few, or tens of thousands. (Laughter)

Zhou: Of course, based on voluntariness.

Mao: If we let them come to you, it will cause you trouble, which would reduce our burden. (Laughter)

Kissinger: Our economic and trade relations with China are not for commercial benefit, but to establish necessary political relations between us.

Mao: Yes.

This was the first talk involving Chinese women.

Judging by the conversation, Kissinger clearly did not ignore it. He responded to every sentence. So did Kissinger despise Mao in his heart? Let’s look closely at the conversation.

Mao mentioned Chinese women when talking about Sino-American trade. When Mao suddenly said this, Kissinger didn’t yet understand Mao’s intention, so he replied, ‘they have no quotas or tariffs.” Obviously, Kissinger thought Mao was joking, so he answered with a joke too. He joined Mao’s joke. If Mao’s joke was vulgar, then Kissinger was flattering a vulgar dictator. Where’s the “precious” response? Over-licking the foreigner?

How did Kissinger understand Mao’s joke? See this part:

Mao: If we let them come to you, it will cause you trouble, which would reduce our burden. (Laughter)

Kissinger: Our economic and trade relations with China are not for commercial benefit, but to establish necessary political relations between us.

Kissinger’s response shows he linked Mao’s joke with Sino-American trade. Mao mentioned Chinese women in the context of trade, and Kissinger responded accordingly. Kissinger seemed to understand Mao’s meaning. But in his report to Nixon, Kissinger gave a subtler explanation: Madame Mao, representing the left, was clearly challenging him (Mao). In our talk, Mao joked several times about women causing trouble in China; he planned to export ten million Chinese women to the U.S. to pass the trouble on.

Why Kissinger linked this to Jiang Qing is beyond this text’s scope, to be analyzed later. But it’s clear Kissinger did not consider Mao’s joke vulgar, but politically intentional.

Now look at more of the conversation.

Mao later spoke more about Chinese women:

Mao: Do you want our Chinese women? We can give you ten million.

Kissinger: The Chairman is raising his offer.

Mao: Doing so, we can let them harm your country like a flood, thus hurting your interests. Our country has too many women, and they act in their own ways. They bear children, and our country has too many children. (Laughter)

Kissinger: That’s a novel proposal; we will study it carefully.

Mao: You can form a committee to study this issue. Your visit is setting the Chinese population problem. (Laughter)

Kissinger: We will study the utilization and distribution issues.

Actually, this was not Mao’s first women joke with Kissinger. When Mao first met Nixon, the three also joked about women, and Nixon was the first to start it. The conversation was as follows:
President Nixon: He (Kissinger) doesn’t look like a secret agent. He’s the only person who could go to Paris twelve times under lack of freedom and once to Beijing without anyone knowing, maybe except for two or three pretty girls.
(Laughter from Zhou)

Kissinger: They don’t know. I am just a cover.

Chairman Mao: In Paris?

President Nixon: A person who uses pretty girls as cover must be the greatest diplomat in history.

Chairman Mao: So your girls are often used as cover?

President Nixon: His girls, not mine. If I used girls as cover, I‘d be in big trouble.

Last time joking about American or French girls, with some offense (saying Americans use their girls), this time joking about Chinese women, excluding the implied political meaning — that they bear children — is not out of line.

For those who want to understand the truth about Sino-American reconciliation, reading this conversation multiple times is recommended. Mao sharply pointed out to Kissinger that the best interest of the U.S. was to let the Soviet Union occupy China. A Sino-Soviet conflict was in the best interests of the U.S. and the West. Based on this understanding, Mao sought to resist the Soviets by reconciling with the U.S. Can America be trusted? Remember Mao asked Kissinger: How do you feel about Vietnam? Isn’t this also asking: Is the Soviet Union falling into China better than the U.S. falling into Vietnam?

Zhong Wen remarked: In 1972, Nixon inherited Roosevelt’s legacy, flew to Beijing to kowtow to Mao Zedong, pulled the dying Communist devil Mao out of trouble, and handed the UN Security Council seat unconditionally to the Mao devil, driving away the World War II allies. This is an unforgivable, heinous crime! Nixon’s evil collusion with Mao Zedong began America’s decline; Nixon’s disgraceful collusion in Beijing set him on the road to impeachment.
