On this day, 106 years ago, on May 19, 1919 (April 20, 1919), the Chinese delegates to the Paris Peace Conference decided not to recognize the peace treaty. On May 19, French Foreign Minister Bi Xun told Lu Xiangxiang: "If you keep the signature, you can't do it." On the 25th, Wilson told Gu Weijun: "As for the reservation method on the treaty, I will not advocate it." On the 22nd, the British side said: "This matter is of great concern. The treaty is a treaty between countries that negotiate and cooperate with each other. Not only is there no reason not to sign it, but there is also no reservation method." The reason for the unanimous refusal to retain the signature is that you do not want to set a precedent. On the 23rd, the Beijing government telegraphed Lu Xiangxiang to sign the whole treaty if he could not keep it. On the 28th, the Chinese delegation held a secret meeting to discuss the signing of the peace treaty. Wang Zhengting clearly opposed the signing, saying: "In the past, China's diplomacy was all about giving up, so it lost all kinds of rights. Now there is no way to give in, so it has to change its policy. All countries have repeatedly bullied China, and they can no longer be bullied by it." Wang Guangqi, the minister to Italy, advocated the signing, arguing that if Japan refused, if it threatened to use force, it would not be able to get assistance from other powers. Gu Weijun clearly opposed the signing, saying: "Japan's ambition to invade must be paid attention to. The situation in Shandong is close to the whole country, and the interests are especially great compared with the three eastern provinces. If you don't sign, the whole country will pay attention to Japan, and the people's sentiment will be revived. If you sign, you will Hu Weide, the ambassador to France, said: "Signing the first layer is beneficial to the country, and it is determined to do it, and there is no need to destroy personal reputation." Shi Zhaoji finally said: "This peace treaty is not satisfactory to all small countries, and it may not be implemented forever. China can also not sign it." Lu Xixiang and Wei Chenzu did not make it clear. Of the five plenipotentiaries, three explicitly opposed signing.
