From New China was established in 1949, to the 11 Third Session Convened in 1978, the class struggle is placed more important position than economic development, which brought nationwide disaster to China. So, China developed more slowly than the Western developed country and the peripheral emerging industrialized country. Since the late 50s, economy , science and technology has played more and more place in international relations' status, international competition's essence already transforms from war and revolution into comprehensive national strength contest centering on economy, science and technology, the trend resolving the new international dispute with peace means has appeared. The regional economies integration is a key character and tendency at the world economic developing process.

The friend may be chosen, the neighboring country actually can not be chosen. Looking from the historical angle, the relations between the surrounding countries and our country just like if the lips have gone, the teeth will be cold. Because the surrounding countries location is our country safety and development's important region, we must consider the geography environmental factors when formulate diplomatic strategy, and adopt different behavior means according to different objects in developing foreign relations.Part II of this thesis sets forth our country good-neighborly policy and practice. In the new period, our country good-neighborly policy guiding principle uses these words to summarize: "Good-neighborliness, ampere of neighbor, rich neighbor"."good-neighborliness"refers to politics mutual forgiveness, confidence and the harmonious coexistence."Ampere of neighbor"refers to build peaceful and stable surrounding environment, participate in conversation and cooperation about regional security positively, enhance mutual understanding and trust, realize mutual accommodation and peace on safety, make great efforts to resolve divergence and dispute environment with peaceful means, builds stable Asia area for development.

Historically speaking, each time the great nation rises is accompanied by the war and the territory expansion, therefore, international presentation"the Chinese deterrence theory"has certain basis. How to remove various countries anxiety, let them believe Chinese"peaceful rise", is the important topic of Chinese diplomacy.Although China insists on the path"peaceful rise"all the time, let all the countries in the world believe in ,we must use actual deeds to prove.
