A meeting memo between Chairman Mao, George Bush and Kissinger held on 21 October 1975 discussing Taiwan. Mao said "we are backward", and that "there are only two superpowers in the world." On Taiwan Mao said, "It's better for [Taiwan] to be in your hands [US]. And if you were to send it back to me now, I would not want it, because it's not wantable. There are a huge bunch of counter-revolutionaries there. A hundred years hence we will want it [gesturing with his hand], and we are going to fight for it... when I go to heaven to see God, I'll tell him it's better to have Taiwan under the care of the United States now... because God blesses you, not us. God does not like us [waves his hands] because I am a militant warlord, also a communist. That's why he doesn't like me." Kissinger expects it to be less than 100 years, and has not met God. Kissinger confirmed that Japan will not be allowed to receive any hegemony in Asia until Yasuhiro Nakasone, his own student, would take power — this happened in 1982.
