Course Introduction  

This course is designed to college students with basic historical facts, events, figures and doctrines about Chinese diplomacy. It is intended to provide an introductory survey of a diplomatic history ranging from 1949 when the People’s Republic of China was established to the early 21st century. It examines major events, clues, and ideas in China’s diplomacy at different stages of this part of the history.

This course wants to prepare students for a more meaningful understanding and appreciation of Chinese perspective on contemporary issues related to international affairs. At the completion of this course, the students should be able to know not only some basic historical “facts” or “data” about Chinese diplomacy, but also, more importantly, to realize how a diplomatic history in modern China unfolds as it is in an ever changing social and political context in which this history has been produced.
