The normalization of Sino-Soviet relations reects the gradual release of China’s foreign policy from the framework of strategic thinking that emerged during the Cold War and reects a new diplomatic concept that has developed and enriched by Chinese leaders in the course of openness reforms. After almost three decades, the Chinese leaders nally advanced the “Social Path with Chinese Characteristics” and chose the “Independent Peaceful Foreign Policy”, which marks the implementation of radical coordination between China’s national development strategy and foreign policy since the late 1950s, marking the end of the cold war. The normalization of Sino-Soviet relations had an important inuence not only on the entire process of the Cold War, but also on the social and political processes in China, in the first place. The process of development of Soviet-Chinese and Russian-Chinese relations directly reects the establishment and regulation of domestic and foreign policy after the founding of New China, which has a great inuence on the international political arena.
