During the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), Chinese foreign policy was characterized by very high dynamic of its foreign relations. The relations with South-East Asia, North-East Asia and Africa, which seemed friendly and cordial in the pre-1966period, were suddenly deteriorated:in1960China signed with Burma the Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Non-Aggression, but in1967relations between two countries stopped; the similar story was happened between China and India, China and North Korea. Indeed, the Cultural Revolution totally changed the orientation of China:tensions between two closest socialist countries-China and the Soviet Union, led to the1969border military conflict; and the year of1972was also very significant: China established diplomatic relation with the United States. The relations with the Third World which marked by high degree of Chinese support and assistance even in the first half of1960s, drastically changed toward mutual antipathy, but since1972took on a new life. Thus, Chinese foreign policy during the Cultural Revolution present very interesting puzzle to solve.I offer to explain the shifts in Chinese foreign policy through the perspective of societal constructivism. The main statement of this approach is about relationality between domestic identity and international politics, thus, how China understood itself at home explains how it related to other states abroad. In order to support my hypothesis-domestic discourse of national identity does essentially determine the foreign relation of state, I analyze how and to what extent elements of Chinese identity produced through predominant discourse at home during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) inform Chinese foreign relationships in those years.
