新中国成立后,清除帝国主义在中国的经济特权,是贯彻毛泽东提出的“打扫干净屋子再请客”外交战略的一个重要内容。外交部刚一成立,就由外交部政策委员会和领事司会同各省市的外事部门,开始着手调查外国资本在华资产。 After the founding of New China, removing the economic privilege of imperialism in China is an important part of carrying out the diplomatic strategy put forward by Mao Zedong and “cleaning the house again.” As soon as the Foreign Ministry was established, the Foreign Affairs Department Policy Committee and the Consular Department, together with the foreign affairs departments of various provinces and municipalities, began to investigate the assets of foreign capital in China.
