The roots of the Sino-Indonesia relations go back to more than a hundred years ago, before the beginning of the Indonesian independence, but they were mostly characterized by the non-interference of China in Indonesia's internal problems.
The international system after World War II developed greatly and turned into a bipolar system represented by both the United States of America and the Soviet Union, but at the same time other countries were trying to search for a role for themselves in the international system, and most of these countries were China as an influential force on the international arena. Since the declaration of independence in 1949, China has tried to activate its foreign policy with its regional surroundings, especially Indonesia, because of its distinguished position due to the importance of its geostrategic location for China. Therefore, Chinese policy towards Indonesia during the years (1955-1958) was characterized by great convergence, because it was subject to the policy of international and regional tensions.
Through these political actors, the importance of studying (Chinese-Indonesian diplomatic rapprochement 1955-1958) appears, as this study will reflect to us the nature of Chinese diplomatic behavior towards Indonesia, accompanied by the great international competition over Indonesia between the United States of America, the Soviet Union and China.
