根据最新解密的美国国务院外交档案，中共已故领导人毛泽东1973年在与美国特使基辛格会谈时，曾经建议将一千万名中国妇女送到美国去。毛泽东表示，这种移民既可以开展双方的贸易，还可以造成美国的“伤害”，让美国和中国一样，饱尝人口过多的痛苦。
法新社报道，美国国务院2月13日公布1973至1976年的解密外交档案。根据档案，1973年毛泽东在会见基辛格时，作出了上述建议。
两人是于1973年2月17日，在毛泽东住处开始这段直到午夜才结束的冗长对话。当谈到两国可怜的贸易数字时，烟不离手的毛泽东说：中国是一个“非常穷的国家”，“我们最多的就是女人”。
毛泽东的第一次提议，是让“几千个”中国妇女到美国，但后来加码到了“一千万”，引起与会者大笑。当时的国务院总理周恩来也在场。
基辛格时任尼克松政府的国家安全顾问，他当时也知趣地响应毛泽东的话说，对于中国妇女到美国，美国并无设定“配额”，也不会征收关税。基辛格的话引来更多的笑声。
其后，基辛格试着把话题转移到苏联威胁的问题，但毛泽东却又回到“千万妇女输出”话题上说：“让这些女人去美国，她们将会制造灾难，中国的负担也会减轻”。
毛泽东又说：“你们要中国女人吗？我们可以给你们一千万。”对此，基辛格特别纪录指出：毛泽东提高了建议数量。毛泽东继续说：“这么一来，她们会让你们 的国家充满灾难，损害你们的利益，我们国家的女人太多了”，“她们会生小孩，而我们的小孩已经太多了。”基辛格当时回说：“这真是一个奇妙的提议，我们会 研究一下。”
随后两人谈到了苏联威胁问题，毛泽东说，他希望苏联进攻中国，而且最终被打败。但没说两句，毛泽东又说：“我们国家的女人太多了，真不知道该怎么办。”
当时在场的女性、中国外交部部长助理王海容随即提醒毛说，这些对话如果公开，可能会引起民众反感。基辛格当时同意毛泽东的主张，这段对话必须消去。
但当基辛格开玩笑，说他准备在下一场记者会中公开这段对话时，毛泽东说：“我什么都不怕”，“不管怎么样，上帝已经在呼唤我了”。毛在双方会谈中咳得非常厉害。毛泽东后来在1976年过世。

Chairman Mao proposed sending 10 million Chinese women to US: documents
Thursday, 14 February 2008
WASHINGTON - Mao Zedong proposed sending 10 million Chinese women to the United States, in talks with top envoy Henry Kissinger in 1973, according to documents released today.
The powerful chairman of the Chinese Communist Party said he believed such emigration could kick-start bilateral trade but could also "harm" the United States with a population explosion similar to China, according to documents released by the State Department on US-China ties between 1973 to 1976.
In a long conversation that stretched way past midnight at Mao's residence on February 17, 1973, the cigar-chomping Chinese leader referred to the dismal trade between the two countries, saying China was a "very poor country" and "what we have in excess is women."
He first suggested sending "thousands" of women but as an afterthought proposed "10 million," drawing laughter at the meeting, also attended by Chinese premier Zhou Enlai.
Kissinger, who was President Richard Nixon's national security adviser at that time, told Mao that the United States had no "quotas" or "tariffs" for Chinese women, drawing more laughter.
Kissinger then tried to highlight to Mao the threat posed by the Soviet Union and other global concerns as he moved to lay the groundwork for restoring diplomatic ties a year after Nixon's historic visit to China.
But Mao dragged the talks back to the topic of Chinese women.
"Let them go to your place. They will create disasters. That way you can lessen our burdens," Mao said.
"Do you want our Chinese women? We can give you ten million," he said.
Kissinger noted that Mao was "improving his offer."
Mao continued, "By doing so we can let them flood your country with disaster and therefore impair your interests. In our country we have too many women, and they have a way of doing things.
"They give birth to children and our children are too many."
A shrewd diplomat, Kissinger seemed to turn the tables on Mao, replying, "It is such a novel proposition, we will have to study it."
The two leaders then spoke briefly about the threat posed by the Soviet Union, with Mao saying he hoped Moscow would attack China and be defeated.
But Mao again lamented, "We have so many women in our country that don't know how to fight.
The assistant Chinese foreign minister, Wang Haijung, who was at the meeting, then cautioned Mao that if the minutes of the conversation were made public, "it would incur the public wrath."
Kissinger agreed with Mao that the minutes be scrapped.
But when Kissinger joked that he would raise the issue at his next press conference, Mao said, "I'm not afraid of anything.
"Anyway, God has sent me an invitation," said the Chinese leader, who coughed badly during the talks.
Mao died in September 1976. US-China diplomatic relations were restored in 1979.
