Abstract
Maintaining good relations with the developed countries has been one of the priorities of China’s foreign policies. It does not mean that developing countries are not important for China. As a matter of fact, the developing world, including Latin America, constitutes the foundation of China’s foreign policies since the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949. The new leadership has maintained the general principle of China’s foreign policy that was implemented by Xi Jinping’s two predecessors, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao. Given the fact that the world is always changing, however, some fine-tuning adjustments are necessary.
