7 January 1950: Unconditional recognition of Mao Zedong’s regime as the legitimate government of all China sees the withdrawal of support from Nationalists
London, Friday
Britain’s recognition of the Communist Central People’s Government as the legitimate Government of all China was expressed in a Note handed to-day to Mr Chou En-lai, the Foreign Minister, by the British Consul General in Peking. Last night Mr Hector McNeil, the Minister of State, informed the Chinese Ambassador in London, Dr Chung Tien-hsi, that the British Government had decided to take this step and was therefore withdrawing recognition from the Nationalists.
