Features: This book presents a systematic decryption of archives, showcasing the process of China establishing diplomatic relations with foreign governments during its early years. Many of the valuable materials included were obtained with great difficulty. Due to the passage of time and various natural and non-natural reasons, many documents have been lost or are difficult to locate. During the editing process, strong support was received from the relevant embassies and consulates of China abroad and the relevant departments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some foreign diplomatic departments of related countries provided historical materials of great value; institutions such as the Museum of the Chinese Revolution, the Central News and Documentary Film Studio, Xinhua News Agency, and People's Daily also contributed some materials.
