OSTI ID:45354
The great changes that have taken place in international relations in the past few years have created a new political an economic environment in the world, with both opportunities and challenges to the overall objective of peace and development. While the international community has finally shaken off the Cold War pattern of confrontation between the two military blocs, it is not yet free from the threat of political instability, regional conflict, and even the scourges of war. There is still along way to go in realizing the cardinal goal of complete prohibition and thorough destruction of all types of weapons of mass destruction. We continue to be confronted by so many contrasts between accomplishments and lapses, by gaps between words and deeds, and by double standards. China`s stated primary foreign policy objective is to maintain world peace, promote common progress and create favorable external conditions for China`s development. Guided by the independent foreign policy of peace, China refrains from joining any alliance, and is always opposed to hegemonism and power politics.
