Speeches

At the 12th National Congress, Hu Yaobang's report addressed the Chinese diplomatic concept of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, stating, "China adheres to an independent foreign policy and develops relationships with other countries under the guidance of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence."[1] According to the view articulated by Hu in his report, "China will never be dependent on any big country or group of countries, nor will it yield to the pressure of any big country [...] The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence apply to our relations with all countries, including socialist countries."[2]
