The year of 1953 witnessed the beginning of China’s first 5-year plan for developing its national economy. In order to create a peaceful international environment conducive to socialist construction, Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai expounded on the idea of ​​opposing war and advocating peace on many occasions. On May 26, 1955, when meeting with Indonesian Prime Minister Ali Sastroamidjojo, Mao Zedong pointed out: “War is always destructive, so we don’t want war.” “China is willing to cooperate with all the countries, even if they are Western countries, as long as they will. We are willing to resort to peaceful means to solve existing problems. War is always bad, especially for Western countries, and they have not yielded positive results by means of war. History has borne this out.” Therefore, “we come to the conclusion: Peace is the best policy.”
