On this day, 73 years ago, on December 21, 1952 (November 5, 1952 in the lunar calendar), Zhou Enlai called the United Nations to protest against the massacre of prisoners of war by the US military. On December 21, 1952, Foreign Minister Zhou Enlai called Pearson, President of the United Nations General Assembly, to seriously protest the United States 'massive massacre of Korean prisoners of war on Fengyan Island. The cable pointed out: On December 14, 1952, after the United Nations General Assembly, under the control of the United States, had just passed an illegal resolution on the North Korean issue based on an Indian proposal, the U.S. military committed a massacre in which 87 North and China prisoners of war were killed and 120 others were injured in the Fengyan Island Prison Camp; the number of prisoners of war massacred reached the highest number of prisoners of war that the United States has been forced to admit for a long time. This incident once again fully proves the actual content of the so-called "voluntary repatriation" or "non-forced repatriation" principle of the United States, which is to use inhumane mass massacres to coerce prisoners of war to express their "unwillingness to repatriate" in order to achieve its purpose of forcibly detaining prisoners of war. The people of all China express extreme indignation at the atrocities committed by the U.S. military. The China government has lodged a serious protest against this criminal act of completely destroying the principles of humanity and fundamentally undermining the Geneva Conventions, and demands that the United Nations General Assembly take immediate and effective measures to stop this barbaric atrocities and severely punish U.S. officials who are fully responsible for this and past bloody massacres. The cable reiterated the principle of replying to the message sent to the President of the United Nations General Assembly on December 14, namely, to cancel the above-mentioned illegal resolution, immediately resume the Panmunjom armistice negotiations, implement a comprehensive armistice based on the draft Korean Armistice Agreement that has been agreed upon, and then transfer all prisoners of war repatriation. The issue of the repatriation of prisoners of war will be resolved by the "Committee for Peaceful Settlement of Korean Issues" as suggested by the Soviet delegation, so that the massacre of prisoners of war will be immediately terminated and the Korean armistice will be immediately realized.
