This is a major decision made in the light of China's historical and realistic situation and in accordance with the existing international environment at that time.Being in a state of political instability and social decline, China is pursuing a foreign policy course designed to recognize and support China from the three great powers: the United States, England and the USSR, on the condition of non-interference in the internal affairs of the young country.At this stage, the leader of the People's Republic of China is forming only views and thoughts about the future“intermediate zones”. Mao's ideas about China and the new world order finally find a solution in his doctrine of the “three worlds”. It wasdeveloping as a response to the increasingly untenable policy of “leaning to one side” that Mao himself had previously promulgated.
