Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國大陸研究所碩士班 === 98 === Mao Zedong''s diplomatic thoughts have great impacts on contemporary Chinese’s diplomacy. By means of analyzing the concepts on strategy and tactics of Mao'' foreign thinking, the report shows us not only the evolution of strategy and tactics but also each influences on China’s diplomatic policy. In order to examine the viewpoints that strategy and tactics have a lot more interaction, the Korean War during 1950 to 1953 is used to do a case study. In this report, it is found the following key points:
First part is about the theories of Mao’s diplomatic thoughts. The research finds that the foundations of Mao’s political philosophy originate in four parts, including patriotism, internationalism, anti-hegemonism and anti-imperialism. And Mao’s foreign thoughts are derived from four backgrounds. They contain historical background, social background, theoretical background and pratical background. As to the sources of Mao’s thoughts, they are deeply affected by Marxism-Leninism, traditional Chinese culture and the Three People''s Principles of Sun Yat-sen.
Second is about the kind of Mao''s diplomatic strategy. Mao''s diplomatic strategy has seven parts, including “United Front”, “the intermediate zone”, “one-sided”, “the independence of sovereignty”, “the five principles of peaceful co-existence”, “strive for the intermediate zone and the second one” ,and “do not forget to cooperate with countries of Asian, African and Latin American”.
Next is about Mao''s diplomatic tactics. They have seven styles, including “ war of opinion”, “to fight flexibly”, “to seek truth from facts”, “not be limited to one type”, and so on.
Finally, the paper finds that there is continuity between Mao''s diplomatic strategy and tactics; moreover, Mao''s diplomatic strategy and tactics have been a great influence on modern China’s diplomacy development. During Mao’s government, the main foreign strategy is used with tactics in every foreign event, especially in Korean War. And it is found that the changes of foreign strategy are usually steady. On the contrary, Mao’s diplomatic tactics are flexibly used in order to cope with the changing situations of wars. It is thus clear that Mao''s diplomatic strategy and tactics are nimbly used in different situations.
