Zhou Enlai drafted instructions for the CPC Central Committee on diplomatic work, proposing that principles and flexibility should be properly grasped. The directive states: At present we do not have formal diplomatic relations with any foreign country. Therefore, it is only natural not to recognize the representatives of these countries in China as official diplomats. In this way, we can take the initiative in diplomacy and not be bound by any humiliating diplomatic traditions of the past. In principle, the privileges of imperialism in China must be abolished, and the independence and liberation of the Chinese nation must be realized. However, in terms of steps, they should be dealt with separately according to the nature and circumstances of the problem. In short, in terms of diplomatic work, we should have a proper grasp of principle and flexibility in order to stand firm and flexible. When Mao Zedong reviewed and revised the draft directive, he added two items, which pointed out: No foreign country or the United Nations should be allowed to interfere in China's internal affairs. Matters within China should be settled by the Chinese people and the people's government itself. If a foreigner mentions that a foreign government has mediated the Chinese civil war, etc., it should be completely rejected.
On the same day, Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai called Song Qingling in Shanghai and invited her to go north to guide the construction of a new China. The letter said: The situation of the victory of the Chinese revolution has brought the reactionaries to the brink of death, and what the environment in Shanghai is, is in the heart of the matter. The new Political Consultative Conference will be held in North China, and the Chinese People's Revolution has gone through hardships, and Mr. Zhongshan's legacy has been realized so far. Mr. Zhiqi ordered him to come to the north to participate in this great cause in the history of the people and to give guidance on how to build a new China. On June 19, Mao Zedong again wrote to Soong Ching-ling, saying: Chongqing has violated religion for nearly four years. The sincerity of looking up is accumulating day by day. With the victory of the national revolution imminent, and the grand plan for construction urgently needs to be discussed, Comrade Deng Yingchao was specially dispatched to wait forward and sincerely welcome Mr. Deng Yingchao to the north. Before and after this, Mao Zedong wrote many letters to various democrats, welcoming him to the north and discussing the state of the country. The two letters were co-edited in the fifth volume of the Collected Works of Mao Zedong.

When meeting with the delegation of the Hong Kong Nuclear Power Investment Co., Ltd. headed by Lord Kadoorie, Deng Xiaoping talked about the policy of opening up to the outside world and introducing foreign investment, and pointed out: This is a long-term and lasting policy of China, which cannot be changed in this century or in the first fifty years of the next century. Fifty years from now, China and foreign countries will be more closely linked economically, so how can the inextricable ties be broken? Some say that China's policy of opening up will lead to capitalism. Our answer is that our policy of openness will not lead to capitalism. If it does lead to capitalism, then our policy has failed. With the policy of opening up to the outside world, some capitalist things will enter, but the strength of socialism will be greater, and greater development will be achieved. The proportion of socialism will always prevail. An excerpt from this conversation is included in the Excerpts from Deng Xiaoping's Special Treatise on Building Socialism with Chinese Characteristics (new edition).
