The foreign relations of the People's Republic of China (PRC), commonly known as to most states as China, are the relations between the People's Republic of China and other countries.
 It guides the way in which it interacts with foreign nations and expresses its political, economic and cultural strengths, weaknesses and values.
 As a great power and emerging superpower, China's foreign policy and strategic thinking is highly influential.
 China officially states it "unswervingly pursues an independent foreign policy of peace.
 The fundamental goals of this policy are to preserve China's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, create a favorable international environment for China's reform and opening up and modernization construction, maintain world peace and propel common development."
 An example of a foreign policy decision guided by "sovereignty and territorial integrity" is its not engaging in diplomatic relations with any country that recognizes the Republic of China (Taiwan), which the PRC doesn't recognise as a separate nation.
 China is a member of many international organizations, holding key positions such as a permanent membership on the United Nations Security Council.
 The PRC's diplomatic goals were expansionist for achieving international communist revolution before the Cultural Revolution ended.
 In the early 1970s, the PRC replaced the ROC as the recognised government of "China" in the UN following Resolution 2758.
 As a nuclear power, China signed Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in the UN context.
 China's foreign policy today is summarized as strategic relations with neighboring countries and the world's superpowers to strive for China's national interest, to create a favorable environment for China's domestic development for perpetual competition in the world in the long-run.

A country's foreign policy, also called foreign relations or foreign affairs -policy, consists of self-interest strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its national interests and to achieve goals within its international relations milieu.
 The approaches are strategically employed to interact with other countries.
 The study of such strategies is called foreign policy analysis.
 In recent times, due to the deepening level of globalization and transnational activities, the states will also have to interact with non-state actors.
 The aforementioned interaction is evaluated and monitored in attempts to maximize benefits of multilateral international cooperation.
 Since the national interests are paramount, foreign policies are designed by the government through high-level decision making processes.
 National interests accomplishment can occur as a result of peaceful cooperation with other nations, or through exploitation.
 Usually, creating foreign policy is the job of the head of government and the foreign minister (or equivalent).
 In some countries the legislature also has considerable effects.
 Foreign policies of countries have varying rates of change and scopes of intent, which can be affected by factors that change the perceived national interests or even affect the stability of the country itself.
 The foreign policy of one country can have profound and lasting impact on many other countries and on the course of international relations as a whole, such as the Monroe Doctrine conflicting with the mercantilist policies of 19th-century European countries and the goals of independence of newly formed Central American and South American countries.
