(April 28, 1949)

　　We should stress the importance of educating our troops to protect American and British nationals (and nationals of other foreign countries) and the ambassadors, ministers, consuls and other diplomatic personnel of all foreign countries, in the first place, American and British diplomats. The U.S. side has, through a third party, requested the establishment of diplomatic relations with us, and Britain, too, is eager to do business with us. We think we can consider establishing diplomatic relations with the United States and Britain if they sever relations with the Kuomintang. Deng, Rao, Chen and Liu please pay attention to this matter.
