The principles of Communist Chinese foreign policy were stated thus by Lin Piao in his Report to the Ninth National Congress of the Communist Chinese Party: “to develop relations of friendship, mutual assistance and cooperation with socialist countries on the principle of proletarian internationalism; to support and assist the revolutionary struggles of all the oppressed people and nations; to strive for peaceful coexistence with countries having different social systems ... ; and to oppose the imperialist policies of aggression and war.” Piao, Lin, “On China’s Relations with Foreign Countries,” translated in 2 Chinese Law & Gov’t. 51, 58-59 (1969).CrossRefGoogle Scholar
