From the Modern History of China :
Peace Policy of China : Struggle Of the Chinese People for The Liberation of Taiwan
The American imperialists , who were placed under the Kuomitang rule in Taiwan , continued the two-China theory . There was a time when there were separatist movements and revolts to make Tibet an independent country under the basic authority of the lamas . The Taiwan issue has been upheld by American imperialists . With that view , the Communist Party of that time insisted that Taiwan was an integral part of China . We are reprinting it to know the stand of the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Parties of the day . - Editor
The Chinese people want to build their motherland into a great socialist country . They are engaged in peaceful labour and need a peaceful international situation .
Ever since the People ’ s Republic of China was established , she has been closely allied with the great Soviet Union and the other People ’ s Democracies in a common effort to safeguard world peace and prevent aggressive war . She has strengthened peaceful cooperation with countries in Southeast Asia and other neighbouring countries , and established normal relations with some of the Western countries . She is willing to normalize relations and develop trade with Japan , and to establish relations of peaceful co-operation with all countries in Europe , America , Australia and Africa .
China has made unremitting efforts to safeguard world peace and ease international tensions . To oppose the imperialist aggression against Korea , the Chinese people launched the great Resist-US-and- Aid-Korea Movement , and the struggle waged by the Chinese People ’ s Volunteers and the Korean People ’ s Army compelled the United States to accept an armistice in July 1953 . China , the Soviet Union and other countries took part in the Geneva Conference , and , clearing away the obstruction put up by the United States Government , finally brought about an agreement on the December-2024 question of restoring peace in Indo- China . This conference eased international tension and consolidated world peace . In June 1954 , the Chinese premier held separate talks with the Indian and the Burmese premiers , and the five principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity , non-interference in each other ’ s internal affairs , non-aggression , equality and mutual benefit , and peaceful co-existence , were laid down and confirmed as the basic principles guiding Sino-Indian and Sino-Burmese relations . These principles have gained popular support all over the world .
The US aggressors , however , consistently pursued a policy of war and aggression . They formed various military and political blocs and alliances for aggression . In Europe , the US , British and French imperialists established the aggressive North Atlantic Treaty Organization , and reached an agreement in Paris which paved the way for the revival of German militarism and drew West Germany into the aggressive military bloc of the Western countries .
In Asia , the United States called an eight-nation conference in Manila at which the Southeast Asia Collective Defence Treaty was concluded . This was , in fact , a military alliance among the colonial countries , aimed at spreading feelings of hostility against the People ’ s Republic of China , interfering in the internal affairs of the Asian countries and creating new tension . Backed by this military alliance , the US aggressors tried to impose their will on the Asian peoples and suppress their liberation movements .
The US aggressors had attempted armed intervention in China from three ! bases — Taiwan , Korea and Indo-China . After the flames of war in Korea and Indo- China had been put out , the US aggressors intensified their war preparations and subversive activities against China through the Chiang Kai-shek clique entrenched in Taiwan . On December 2 , 1954 , they signed the “ Mutual Defence Pact ” with the traitorous Chiang Kai-shek gang , and even attempted to rally the reactionary elements in Japan and South Korea , together with the traitorous Chiang Kai-shek gang , into a “ Northeast Asia Defence Alliance ,” to be linked up with the Southeast Asia Collective Defence Treaty Organization , with a view to stepping up armed intervention in China .
Taiwan is an inalienable part of China ; no aggression by the US imperialists shall be tolerated . The liberation of Taiwan is a matter concerning China ’ s sovereignty and China ’ s internal affair ; no interference by the U . S . imperialists shall be tolerated . The Chinese people are determined to liberate Taiwan . As long as Taiwan remains unliberated , there will be no territorial integrity for China , no tranquil environment
