Features: France is a Western major country that established ambassadorial diplomatic relations with the New China. This can be said to be the result of the times, and is also closely related to the foresight of Chairman Mao Zedong and General de Gaulle. The book introduces the personal experiences of those who witnessed and participated in the establishment of Sino-French diplomatic relations, the negotiations for the establishment of Sino-French diplomatic relations, the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-French diplomatic relations, and "The Five-Star Red Flag Flies Over Paris—A Review of Sino-French Diplomatic Relations." Most of the contributors to this book are senior diplomats who have been engaged in France-related diplomacy for many years. They are witnesses and participants in the development of Sino-French relations. Through their personal experiences, they tell us about the major diplomatic events in Sino-French exchanges, as well as some lesser-known anecdotes and highlights, forming a historical picture of Sino-French relations. The book is highly informative and engaging.
