Diplomatic activities of the Chinese Communist Regime in the Xibaipo period constitute the beginning of PRC’s diplomacy. In this period, Chinese Communist leaders reexamined the international situation and decided to form a strategic alliance with the Soviet Union. At the same time, they also laid down the basic principles of PRC’s diplomatic policy and established the organizational structure of the PRC’s diplomatic system. Most of the diplomats in the early days of new China were trained in the war fighting against CCP’s enemies inside or outside of China. From then on, the CCP gradually turned the spontaneous contacts with other countries into a national diplomacy with state conscious and colorful skills.
