Timeline

1908

Wang Bingnan (1908–1988) was a diplomat and foreign affairs official of the Communist Party of China and the People's Republic of China.

1909

In Germany, he met and married Anneliese Martens (Anna Wang 王安娜; 1909 - 1990) a German activist and fellow student at the University of Berlin.

They were married in London.

1929

Wang graduated from the Luoyang Military Academy in 1929 and then left for a year of study in Japan.

After two years he left for four years of study at the University of Berlin, where he studied sociology.

While there, he was Secretary of the Chinese Language Branch of the Communist Party of Germany, Director of East Department of the Great International League against Imperialism, Chairman of the League against Imperialism of Chinese in Europe, and eventually President of the European Overseas Chinese Anti-Imperialist League.

He was especially active in rallying Overseas Chinese in Europe to support resistance to Japan's encroachment in China.

1930

Wang was in the group of Zhou Enlai's protegees from the 1930s who filled most of the positions when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was formed in 1949.

1936

Wang returned to Shanghai with his wife in 1936.

They became leading figures in Chinese Communist Party relations with foreign countries and foreigners in China.

In 1936, since he was a Shaanxi native, the Party dispatched Wang there to build relations with General Yang Hucheng, who controlled the area around Xi'an, where Mao's wing of the Party had set up a headquarters.

Wang encouraged General Yang to join the active resistance to Japan rather than press the fight against the Communists.

In late 1936, in the Xi'an Incident, General Yang and Zhang Xueliang held Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek against his will to force him into active resistance against Japan.

Zhou Enlai, apparently at the behest of Joseph Stalin, negotiated Jiang's release and came to rely on Wang's contacts with all sides and his skills in these negotiations.

1939

In 1939, in response to Mao's directive to place even greater weight on foreign propaganda, the Party formed a Foreign Affairs Small Group, whose members included Wang Bingnan, Chen Jiakang, Qiao Guanhua, and Gong Peng, a group that stayed together and formed the nucleus of the Foreign Ministry a decade later.

The Party leadership expected them to follow world developments and to cultivate good relations with foreign journalists, diplomats, and soldiers.

1945

During the war with Japan, the group served with Zhou in Chongqing, and when wartime cooperation with the Nationalist government turned to Civil War after 1945, Wang was deputy under Ye Jianying in the Foreign Affairs Group of the Central Committee.

Wang and Anna visited India briefly in 1945 but returned to work with the Marshall Mission from the end of 1945 to 1947, where he met American diplomats.

1949

Before 1949, Wang was one of Zhou Enlai's trusted aides and after the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 he became Director General of the General Office of Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Wang was Director General of the General Office, the largest office in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from 1949 to 1955.

1954

He was Secretary General of the Chinese Delegation during the Geneva Conference of 1954.

During the 1954 Geneva Conference he was Secretary General of the Chinese Delegation, where he conducted negotiations with U. Alexis Johnson and other senior United States diplomats.

1955

In January and February 1955 he was Assistant Foreign Minister, and in March of that year became Chinese Ambassador to Poland, a position in which he served until April 1964.

While in Poland, he was the Chief Representative of China in the nine-year-long Sino-US Ambassadorial Talks.

He then served briefly as Assistant Foreign Minister in January and February 1955 before becoming Chinese Ambassador to Poland from March 1955 to April 1964.

During the First Taiwan Strait Crisis of 1955 Wang conducted ambassadorial-level talks in Warsaw with United States Ambassador Jacob D. Beam.

Mao recalled Wang to Beijing for a detailed briefing in a private talk, and Wang left for Warsaw with detailed instructions to find out if Washington would be willing to force Nationalist armies from the islands if offered concessions in return.

When Wang revealed to Beam this willingness to concede before extracting concessions in return, Mao attacked him: "even a pig knows to turn around after he hits a wall, and Wang Bingnan does not know how to turn around after he hits a wall."

Mao only agreed to keep Wang in Warsaw when Premier Zhou assumed the blame.

1962

Here he played a pivotal role in the Indo-Sino War of 1962 ensuring no aggression through the Taiwan Strait.

As ambassador to Poland, Wang was the highest level diplomat of the People's Republic to have direct contact with American diplomats.

1966

In 1966, at the start of the Cultural Revolution, Wang was attacked and imprisoned by the Red Guards.

1967

In 1967, as the Cultural Revolution gained momentum, Wang was suspended from his job at the Ministry of Foreign Relations and Red Guard factions confined him in the basement of an old hotel.

He was shown the scarred and mutilated body of Zhang Yuyun, his second wife, and was told that she had killed herself.

1969

In 1969 he was released to go to a cadre school, and allowed to return to the capital only in 1972.

He did not have a job or official residence there, however, and lived with his family in cramped conditions.

1975

Although he was rehabilitated in 1975, he suffered a heart attack.

Deng Xiaoping gave him a position in the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries in 1975, but when Deng himself was again purged the following year, Wang had a heart attack.
