摘要
中国是世界上陆地边界最长、邻国最多、边界情况最复杂的国家之一。从中缅边界谈判至今已有50多年,尽管中国的国家实力有了很大提升,但是中国处理领土争端的总体原则并没有发生大的改变。目前除了与印度和不丹以外,中国已经确定了绝大部分陆地边界走向。本文旨在总结50多年来中国处理边界问题的外交实践,梳理中国处理领土争端的原则和理念,从一个特定的角度阐明当代中国外交是务实、和平、负责的外交。
China is one of the countries with the longest land boundary, the largest number of neighboring countries, and the most complex situation on borders. It’s over fifty years since China and Burma started boundary negotiations; though China’s strength has greatly increased, its general principles for treatment of territory dispute have not changed in the main. By now except with India and Bhutan, China has settled the trend of the greatest majority of its land boundary. This article tries to sum up China’s diplomatic practice in its treatment of boundary question in the past fifty years, its principles and ideas concerning this question, and points out that China’s diplomacy is practical, peaceful and responsible diplomacy.
