(February 22, 1974)
Chairman
Mao Zedong (hereinafter referred to as Mao): We hope
the Third World will unite. The Third World has a
large population!
President
Kenneth David Kaunda (hereinafter referred to as Kaunda):
That's right.
Mao:
Who belongs to the First World?
Kaunda:
I think it ought to be the world of exploiters and
imperialists.
Mao:
And the Second World?
Kaunda:
Those who have become revisionists.
Mao:
I hold that the U.S. and the Soviet Union belong to
the First World. The middle elements, such as Japan,
Europe, Australia and Canada, belong to the Second
World. We are the Third World.
Kaunda:
I agree with your analysis, Mr. Chairman.
Mao:
The U.S. and the Soviet Union have a lot of atomic
bombs, and they are richer. Europe, Japan, Australia
and Canada, of the Second World, do not possess so
many atomic bombs and are not so rich as the First
World, but richer than the Third World. What do you
think of this explanation?
Kaunda:
Mr. Chairman, your analysis is very pertinent and
correct.
Mao:
We can discuss it.
Kaunda:
I think we can reach agreement without discussion,
because I believe this analysis is already very pertinent.
Mao:
The Third World is very populous.
Kaunda:
Precisely so.
Mao:
All Asian countries, except Japan, belong to the Third
World. All of Africa and also Latin America belong
to the Third World.
