They also established the principle of using diplomatic work to drive China’s socialist modernization. On the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, China developed friendly cooperation with countries around the world, improved and developed relations with major powers and neighboring countries, and promoted pragmatic cooperation with other developing countries, thereby establishing diplomatic relations with the United States and normalizing relations with the Soviet Union as well as achieving peaceful resolution of the Hong Kong and Macao questions in accordance with the principle of “one country, two systems.” The central collective leadership also made it clear that striving for a long-term peaceful international environment and favorable neighboring environment for China’s modernization was the goal of its diplomatic efforts, and initiated a new phase in China’s diplomatic work on that basis.
