Sino-Burmese Relations during the Cold War(1955-1966):A Study Based on the Declassified Documents of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Sino-Burmese ties developed rapidly between 1955 and 1966 since a breakthrough in their relations in 1954,which became the most friendly stage of Sino-Burmese relations during the Cold War.Nevertheless,when China adopted revolutionary and irrational foreign policy and Burma introduced closed-door and xenophobic 'Burmese Socialism'policy in the early 1960s,Beijing and Rangoon began to be seemingly in harmony but actually at variance.At last,anti-Chineseriots occurred in Rangoon in 1967 and the 'honeymoon'between the two countries came to an end.
