What is the core of China’s foreign policy, and what do you think about it?

The core of China's foreign policy, which has not changed since 1949, is to serve around the need for China to be strong. I have seen answers to the claim that China's foreign policy is divided into several stages, and I am sorry to say that I have asked Chinese scholars of international issues and they have all said that they have never heard of such a claim.
The core of China's diplomacy has remained the same for 70 years, with a few adjustments in some executive level policies.
1. Stabilising China's neighbourhood and creating a good opportunity for China's development
2、Strengthening communication and making the world understand China's development
3. Through foreign aid, to win the support of other small and medium-sized countries in the world for China in terms of policy.
Some people say that China is now very tough with the West and that this is a so-called "strategic counter-attack", so I am curious to ask, is the Korean War in the 1950s considered tough?
China's relationship with the US has not yet reached a state of military war, has it?
For 70 years, China has put forward a diplomatic principle, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were first formally put forward to the international community in 1953 by Zhou Enlai, then Premier of the Central People's Government's Council of Government, when he met with a delegation from the Indian government, with which China had a territorial dispute. The specific contents are
mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity
non-aggression towards each other
non-interference in each other's internal affairs
equality and mutual benefit
peaceful coexistence
The Five Principles were later amended by replacing "equality and reciprocity" with "equality and mutual benefit" and "mutual respect for territorial sovereignty" with "mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity", i.e. "mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence".
In April 1955, Indonesia held the Bandung Conference in Bandung, which was attended by 29 countries and regions, and issued the Declaration on the Promotion of World Peace and Cooperation, which included all of these five principles.
In 1957, Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and President of China, declared in Moscow that "China firmly advocates the implementation of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence by all countries".
In 1974, Chinese Vice-Premier Deng Xiaoping again stressed at the UNGASS that political and economic relations between countries "should be based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence".
In 1988, Deng Xiaoping, Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC), put forward the idea of establishing a new international political and economic order based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence have also been affirmed in many international multilateral treaties and documents, including the Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, adopted by the 25th session of the United Nations General Assembly in 1970, and the Declaration on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order, adopted by the 6th Special Session of the General Assembly in 1974, which explicitly included the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
China claims that in its relations with all countries, including socialist countries, it has "consistently adhered to the five principles of peaceful coexistence and, on the basis of these principles, has established and developed friendly and cooperative relations with many countries" and that "over the decades, the five principles of peaceful coexistence have withstood the test of international Over the decades, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence have withstood the test of international changes and have shown great vitality and played a great role in promoting world peace and international friendship and cooperation. China is not only an advocate of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, but also a faithful adherent to them. On the basis of these five principles, China has resolved historical border issues with the vast majority of its neighbours and has established diplomatic relations with most countries in the world".
Although a few countries, such as India and Vietnam, have different views on China's "peace policy".
But I think we all acknowledge the fact that China does not send troops around the world and bomb other countries as often as the US and Europe do, right?
As for the recent talks in Alaska, the world was surprised by the toughness shown by Chinese diplomats.
In fact, if you look back at Chinese history, you will see that Chinese diplomats have been like this for 70 years. It's just that it's not reported in the media.
And this time in Alaska, because of a miscalculation by the United States, the tough side of Chinese diplomats was shown to the world. The previous toughness was just not captured by the media and then scandalously reported by the Western media after the meeting.
The West says that China used to bide its time and now it is a war wolf diplomacy, so what is the situation from the Korean War, to the Sino-Indian conflict, the Sino-Soviet conflict on Jumbo Island and the Sino-Vietnamese war. Were these all bushwhacking?
On the contrary, China has not had any foreign war conflicts in the last 40 years. Has it actually turned into war-wolf diplomacy?
This is a joke.
We engage in war, you say we are biding our time.
We avoid war, and you say we are war-wolf diplomacy?
Is this just like Europe and America?
The US and Europe bomb around the world and are said to be keeping the peace.
China doesn't run around the world killing people and is said to be a threat to peace.
So those who think that China's foreign policy principles have been adjusted are those who lack understanding of Chinese diplomacy.
Have you not noticed the sequence of events?
Because the West, and the US in particular, kept putting pressure on China before China made a counter-attack, and so it appeared to be more assertive?
If the US had not constantly sent aircraft carriers into Chinese territorial waters, China would not have been so eager to develop its navy. Of course the western media narrative is that China keeps developing its military power so the US has to come and maintain the balance. And China is trying to break that balance again.
Of course Chinese diplomacy has made some adjustments, on a technical level. For example, the previous diplomatic centre of political focus and economic support has become a diplomatic model of economic construction and political support.
China has abandoned its previous practice of foreign aid that was divorced from its own economic strength. But as China's economy develops, the total amount of Chinese foreign economic aid is still increasing.
To sum up, in layman's terms, the core principles of China's diplomacy are.
I try to do our own thing
Let other people's affairs be settled by their own families.
Peaceful engagement is a prerequisite.
So you should understand why China has adopted its present attitude towards the situation in Burma. China's diplomatic principles are clear.
How the Burmese military and the NLD make trouble is your own business, the Burmese.
We are opposed to the use of force by both of you, but even if there is a civil war that is a matter for your own family. (In fact, in recent decades, there has been no end to civil war between the Tatmadaw and the NLD within Burma)
China is opposed to any intervention from outside forces, especially military intervention.

You just keep repeating words like "Dialectics" and "Contradiction". Speak in simple terms man. I am a Communist by choice and thoughtful understanding, in a socio-economic and political system that is not Communist. You... You just say you are. You couldn't answer my simple points about your supposedly Communist society.
