The Reasons And Influences Explorations Of The Diplomatic Policy Of "Leaning To One Side" By The New China

The foundation of new People's Republic of China is one of the major events following the victory of October Revolution in the 20th century. China is carrying out consistently the independent and peace-oriented foreign policy established at the time of her foundation, "leaning to one side", "make a fresh start", and "clean the room before taking the host" are the concrete principles and policies under the norm of the above-mentioned general policies in a regular period after the foundation of the state, which have great influences on China and the whole world. This thesis discusses from cause, function, influence, and experience and lesson of "leaning to one side" foreign policy implementation, and strives to reach academic "seek truth from facts" and innovation. It is reference and inspiration to socialist construction in China.The preface to this thesis makes a brief introduction of the significance, content, structure, innovative content, focal point, and difficult point.The second part of this thesis analyzes and illustrates both the internal and the external reasons of "leaning to one side" foreign policy. The external factors include the influence of new changes of international situation, the Soviet Union's active promotion of "leaning to one side" and implementation of U.S. government "support anti-communism Jiang" policy and cold war strategy of containing, etc. The internal factors consist mainly of summaries of Sun Yat-sen and Chinese Communist Party of China from Chinese revolutionary experience, the aim to ensure the national security of new China and national benefit, the purpose of preserving peace and progress of the world, etc. These elements, under the general policy of independent foreign policy over a period after the foundation of new China, cause the foreign policy of "can't sit on the fence, can't keep neutrality," and can only adopt the foreign policy of "leaning to one side."The third part of this thesis mainly explains two major critical approaches in the course of "leaning to one side" foreign policy. Liu Shaoqi's secret visit of the Soviet Union before the foundation of the state, had accomplished communication and discussion in an all-round way, enable "leaning to one side" to "put into practice" for thefirst time. Mao Zedong's official visit of the Soviet Union, through work hard, signed "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance", which made the fact of "leaning to one side" known to the world.The fourth part probes into the positive role of the practice of "leaning to one side" foreign policy practice in an all-round way. In the international position, it has guaranteed the smooth implementation of such policies as "make a fresh start" and "clean the room before take the host"; it make new China admitted by the numerous countries in the world and have them establish the diplomatic relations at ambassadorial level formally; it make the exhibition of new China on the international arena; in the case of national independence and security, it increases safety coefficient, and the strength and quality of PLA attain a new height; it invites a good assistant and keeps a reliable rear when imperialism is fighting against us; in economy , politics , culture and education of China , it promotes economic recovery and development, make the political system of new China established and perfected constantly, and promotes a good starting of cultural education of new China.The fifth part of this thesis puts forward and analyzes the negative effect of the implementation of "leaning to one side" foreign policy. For example, this foreign policy makes the independence of China obviously incomplete; the phenomenon of copying economic and political patterns of the Soviet Union makes China open policy seriously limited, and so on.The conclusion of this thesis, i.e. the sixth part, makes an overall appraisement of "leaning to one side" foreign policy from the combination of theory and practice. "Leaning to one side" can not replace the general policy of independent and peace-oriented foreign policy, but it is really then a policy assuming overall responsibility. "Leaning to one side" to Soviet is the fact, but China never forgets Chinese national conditions and shoots at the socialist road of Chinese characteristics. China's implementation of "leaning to one side" does not isolate itself, but to break cold war restraints. Its purpose is to build socialism, and that people decide their own fate, and to eradicate the shameful position of semi-feudal and semi-colony. The fact that "Leaning to one side" copies Soviet pattern should be that "good qualities of all nationsand all countries will be studied," and it should "a study of analysis and criticism." From 1956 when it tired opening to other countries, "leaning to one side" foreign policy was not stressed any more and was completely changed in 1960s.In a word, we should be mirrored in the history during the construction of four modernizations; we should constantly make Marxism suitable for China; we should preserve faithfully the independent and peace-oriented foreign policy. On the basis of independence and self-reliance, we should combine patriotism and internationalism and make them theoretical foundation of establishing foreign policy and dealing with foreign relations. We should work hard and borrow foreign experience, strive for outside help actively with all-directional openness. Only by this way, can socialism with Chinese characteristic be built sound and world peace can be maintained. This is the natural end of the argumentation of this thesis.
