UN General Assembly
1953

37. The General Assembly must help to restore normal international trade. As regards trade with the People’s Republic of China, it is the United States that is attempting to prevent such trade. This attempt is doomed to failure. In the present state of international relations, any calculations based on the possibility of isolating the People’s Republic of China in some way are merely reactionary utopian ideas entertained by people who have divorced themselves from life and lost all sense of reality. Life itself is more and more insistently raising the question of a return to a peace economy and this is possible only if peaceful relations between States are developed. The task of the United Nations is to do everything possible to bring about a return to a peace economy and to promote international co-operation and the establishment of friendly relations among States.
