Lin Biao -- On China's Relations with Foreign Countries - Page 7
As early as August 22 and September 21, 1960, the Chinese Government, proceeding from the consistent stand on the boundary questions, twice took the initiative in proposing to the Soviet Government that negotiations be held to settle the Sino0Soviet boundary question. In 1964, negotiations between the two sides started in Peking. The treaties relating to the present Sino-Soviet boundary are unequal treaties imposed on the Chinese people by the tsars, but proceeding from the desire to safeguard the revolutionary friendship between the Chinese people and the Soviet people, we still maintained that these treaties be taken as the basis for the settlement of the boundary question.
Web have always held that the internal affairs of each country should be
settled by its own people. The relations between all countries and between all
parties, big or small, must be built on the principles of equality and
non-interference in each other's internal affairs. To safeguard these
Marxist-Leninist principles, the Communist Party of China was waged a long
struggle against the sinister big-power chauvinism of the Soviet revisionist
renegade clique. This is a fact known to all. The Soviet revisionist renegade
clique glibly talk of "fraternal parties" and "fraternal countries", but in fact
they regard themselves as the patriarchal party and as the new tsars who are
free to invade and occupy the territory of other countries. They conduct
sabotage and subversion against the Chinese Communist Party, the Albanian Party
of Labour and other genuine Marxist-Leninist Parties.
