Since its establishment, the Chinese Communist Party has done 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.

After the founding of the PRC, China's foreign policy initially focused on solidarity with the Soviet Union and other communist countries. In 1950, the Mainland Communist Regime sent the People's Liberation Army into North Korea to help North Korea halt the UN offensive that was approaching the Yalu River. After the Korean conflict stalemated, China sought to balance its identification as a member of the Soviet bloc by establishing friendly relations with Pakistan and other non-aligned countries, particularly in Southeast Asia.

In the 1960s, Beijing competed with Moscow for political influence among communist parties and in the developing world generally. The PRC broke its connection with the foreign policy leadership provided by Moscow after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Following the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia and clashes in 1969 on the Sino-Soviet border, Chinese competition with the Soviet Union increasingly reflected concern over China's own strategic position.

In the 1970s and 1980s, China sought to create a secure regional and global environment for itself and to foster good relations with countries that could aid its economic development. To this end, China looked to the West for assistance with its modernization drive in what's called the post-Mao "Reform and opening" era.

In the immediate aftermath of the Tiananmen massacre of thousands of Chinese people during the June 1989 democracy movement, many countries reduced their diplomatic contacts with China as well as their economic assistance programs. In response, China worked vigorously to expand its relations with foreign countries, and by late 1990, had reestablished normal relations with almost all nations. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in late 1991, China also opened diplomatic relations with the republics of the former Soviet Union.

In recent years, Chinese leaders have been regular travelers to all parts of the globe, and China has sought a higher profile in the UN through its permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council and other multilateral organizations.

South Korea is seriously considering closing all Confucius Institutes since too many parents have complained that the Chinese language institute wanted to teach their children a history of their own country dominated by China.

Subversion

Central Foreign Affairs Commission director Yang Jiechi to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken: "The United States does not have the qualification to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.”^[1]

Jin Canrong, a professor and associate dean of the School of International Studies at Beijing's Renmin University of China,^[2] laid out a multi-pronged strategy involving a range of malign actions to subvert the United States while strengthening the Chinese regime.^[3] They include:

• interfering in U.S. elections,
• controlling the American market,
• cultivating global enemies to challenge the United States,
• stealing American technology,
• expanding Chinese territory, and
• influencing international organizations.

It has been alleged that China has a secret plan to invade and takeover the United States via Mexico. In November 1998, an investigative journalist by the name of Scott Gulbransen heard rumors while travelling through Texas of Chinese soldiers in the deserts of Mexico.^[4] One Texan citizen had gone to see for himself but did not make it back alive. Another Texan woman was warned by her family living Mexico not to come to their family ranch due to the presence of foreign soldiers. When the woman travelled to Mexico she learned that the foreign soldiers were "Asians" who were preparing to attack the United States.

Gulbransen went to Mexico and talked with various people about Chinese troops. He collected stories from border patrol officers,Mexican policemen, fishermen and others. The main points made were these:

1. China is pumping arms, ammunition, men and uniforms into Baja California through the port of Ensanada. Gulbransen says that "The fishermen of Ensanada know something is going on. They've seen it with their own eyes. But no one listens to poor fishermen. They're dirty drunks who smell like the fish they catch. They might be the first to witness the Chinese move on the United States but no one will listen."

2. Communist bloc troops are in Mexico. There are military encampments in the deserts of Mexico from various communist countries. Based on examination of the rifle ammunition, the troops are composed of highly trained troops from China, North Korea and Cuba. According to witnesses, Mexican officials are bribed to conceal these troops. Those who threaten to expose the operation face death.

4. Chinese military supplies are being smuggled into the United States. According to border patrol officers, U.S. officials are allowing trucks from Mexico carrying Chinese ammunition to pass through the border without question. Border patrol officers who have tried to blow the whistle on it have been threatened into silence. One officer died in a suspicious car accident after telling Gulbransen that she feared for her life. At one border crossing alone, 30 to 40 trucks loaded with Chinese military supplies were entering the United States per day. It appears that the Chinese are trying to set up ammunition dumps through the U.S. for a planned invasion by troops and insurgents.

6. Communist guerillas in Mexico expect that the United States will soon be brought to its knees. "I am the leader of the La Conquidistas" a Mexican Communist guerilla told Gulbransen. Their plan is to take back Mexico from the "imperialist pigs of the U.S that hold the Mexican people in poverty." The guerilla leader added that "Fidel Castro is the only brave man to stand up to you." When Gulbransen said that the Conquidistas need more than AK47's to fight the U.S., the guerilla leader explained that the Mexican people are resourceful. He added that Mexico has "friends throughout the world who would help us." As Gulbransen left the secret meeting place, the guerilla leader told him, "You tell the fat Americans about the real Mexico. You tell them their day to pay is coming fast. Coming very fast."

An unknown trucker from 2011, delivered a tractor-trailer load of food to a Chinese military base located 60 miles south of Laredo, Texas. The trucker described the base as 2 miles wide by 3 miles long, with 10,000 armored vehicles.^[5]

In a two-hour telephone conversation in late February 2023, U.S. premier Joe Biden attempted to cajole President Xi Jinping to help end the war in Ukraine that the United States instigated by sanctioning Russia. New York Times diplomatic correspondent Edward Wong reported, "Xi didn't suggest a role China could play in ending the war…And he used a favorite phrase of his to cast blame on the US: 'Let he who tied the bell on the tiger’s neck take it off?'.”^[6]
