The "Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence," which have been central tenets of Chinese [[foreign relations]] since 1954, are a succinct restatement of [[Treaty of Westphalia|Westphalianism]] and hence the principles of the [[United Nations Charter]]. They are "mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and [[sovereignty]], mutual non-[[aggression]], mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs, [[equality]] and cooperation for mutual benefit, and [[peace]]ful co-existence."

 

Since its establishment, the Communist Party is doing all it can to lure countries to stand and advocate for its One-China policy that it is the sole legitimate government of all China, including Hong Kong, Macau, and [[Taiwan]]. In the early 1970s, Beijing was recognized diplomatically by most world powers. [[Beijing]] (Pekin) assumed the China seat in the [[United Nations]] in 1971 and has since become increasingly active in multilateral organizations. Japan established diplomatic relations with China in 1972, and the United States did so in 1979. As of July 2021, the number of countries that have diplomatic relations with Beijing had risen to 180, while 15 maintained diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
