Features: China, as an oriental country with a five-thousand-year civilization, has long stood independently among the world's advanced nations and early established contact and connections with its neighboring countries and regions. After entering the feudal society, especially since the Qin and Han dynasties, China's foreign exchanges gradually expanded and became more frequent, gradually forming a foreign affairs system, theory, and art with Chinese traditional characteristics, achieving remarkable accomplishments. Since the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, although there were periods like the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns, the feudal empire's power gradually declined and led to the barbarous invasion by Western imperialists. This book takes the formulation and adjustment of China's foreign strategy and policy as the main line, comprehensively and systematically presenting the overall picture and achievements of New China's 50 years of diplomacy from aspects such as China-Russia, China-US, China-Japan relations, China's relations with countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, China's relations with developing countries in the third world, China's foreign economic and trade relations, and China's relations with the United Nations. It focuses on the specific analysis and organization of major strategic decisions and significant historical events in various fields of contemporary Chinese diplomacy, striving to combine political, theoretical, academic, and knowledge-based aspects.
