Internal and external contradictions
Eloquent Paris, notorious
After a series of setbacks, determined by the Wellington Koo instead of Zhengting attend. Make a decision at the meeting, the Shandong question, make a statement by the representative of China, the next day, January 28, 1919, Wellington Koo was ordered in distress, it had made a careful and meticulous in Shandong, Yuanmin wonderful speech from the historical, economic, explain various aspects of culture in Shandong is an integral part, effectively refuted Japan's unreasonable demands. In front of his eloquence, the representative of Japan completely at a disadvantage. Heads have to congratulate him, Wellington Koo in the domestic and international fame. The eloquent extraordinary position in China's diplomatic history, this is the first time representatives of international forums on behalf of their country's sovereignty, made a successful speech. China had a very favorable situation, however, to April, change Dousheng. Because Fenzangbujun. Italy and will be pulled out of the quarrel. Opportunity to threaten Japan: If the problem can not be met in Shandong, will follow Italy's example.

Wellington Koo Paris Declaration on Jan. 28, 1919, the United States, Britain, France, Japan, China, Shandong, China in Paris to discuss the issue. Shandong defeated West Germany would withdraw from the representative of Japan, Mr. Makino has demanded the unconditional inherit the interest of Germany in Shandong. Hearing on behalf of Wellington Koo of China, stood around the face of other representatives asked: "the West out of saints, his name Jesus, Christianity believe that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem, making Jerusalem a world-famous ancient city. And in the East has also produced a sage, Confucius, his name, even the Japanese are also instructions from his Oriental sage. Makino President, you say it? "Makino had to admit:" Yes. "Wellington Koo smiled:" Since Mr. Makino admitted sage Confucius of the East , then east as the West of Jesus, Confucius, Confucius's birthplace in Shandong also like the East Jerusalem holy sites. Therefore, China can not give up Jerusalem, Shandong, as the West can not lose the same!

George and French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau - Paris and will be heard three giant Wellington Koo's ringing statement, together came up holding his hand, called him China's "young diplomats."
Faced with this reality, the delegation disheartened name only, and some representatives from the Paris, Lu Cheng-hsiang, head of the hospital.

Also, I imagine the case and the closing ceremony of the grand, imagine when the representatives to attend and will see the Chinese plenipotentiaries keep the two empty seats has been no , it will be how to surprise and excitement. This, to me, all the delegation on China is a memorable day. China will make and will be absent, so that the French diplomatic community, and even the whole world has been stunned, words, if not shaken. "
