Introduction The year 1945 did not simply represent the end of the second war, but it also signaled the beginning of new relationships between various countries. China’s foreign relations determine its relationships with other nations. Since China is a great power, its foreign policy is extremely valuable. The major aim of this policy is to uphold the integrity, independence, and sovereignty of China. The relationship that China and New Zealand have had can be discussed as follows. Political Relationship In 1971, President Nixon mentioned that his government had abolished isolationist strategy on communist china, which USA had been practicing since 1949. Moreover, China established a more cordial relationship with USA than with the Soviet Union. New Zealand found it increasingly necessary to corporate with China to avoid confrontational dealings with the dominant powers that had an interest in the Pacific region. New Zealand was in excellent terms with Japan, and it was also allied to USA. Even though it did not have significant relationships with Moscow, it cooperated with the Soviet Union. Therefore, the only gap New Zealand had to link was China. The desire for additional markets also motivated New Zealand to communicate with China. This is because China had a considerable market potential since it is populous. In this case, “New Zealand faced the challenge of how it could establish a relationship with the people of Republic without jettisoning Taiwan, as required by the people of the Republic”? Apart from New Zealand, other nations like Canada had also faced this hurdle before. “New Zealand’s official relationship with China began under the Labor Government of Normzan Kirk when diplomatic relations were established in 1972, the same year as the Kissinger-Nixon ‘ping pong diplomacy”. “Besides China, Norman Kirk established diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union, Latin America, and the Middle East”. Kirk was initially reluctant to recognize China and his recognition of China was only precipitated by the fact that Australia had shifted its focus to Beijing. The Interaction between China and New Zealand became formal in 1976, as a mechanism for curbing USSR influence. “This event was marked when Muldoon travelled to Peking in 1976 to meet Mao Zedong”. “It was plainly stated that China was eager for New Zealand to maintain its alliance with the USA”. Muldoon’s visit showed that China and New Zealand could relate well and find issues of common interest to them. Nonetheless, this did not necessarily imply that they did not have some divergent view. For example, China still went on with its nuclear projects, and this drew sharp criticism from New Zealand. Another disagreement emerged out of the manner in which China responded during the attack of Cambodia by Vietnamese in 1978. In this case, China intervened by attacking Vietnam. This action was not supported by New Zealand, which saw it as similar to the conduct of Vietnam. New Zealand advised China to stop intervening in that conflict. The political aspect of their cooperation was manifested by the several official visits which they both conducted on an equal measure. The tension was quickly alleviated due to the quick withdrawal of China. Despite of these disagreements, Chin
