The Joint Communique of the Government of Japan and the Government of the People's Republic of China was signed on September 29,1972,in Beijing. The communique established and normalized diplomatic relations between Japan and the People's Republic of China (PRC),resulted in the severing of official relations between Japan and the Republic of China (ROC) in Taiwan. The document produced nine articles in a joint statement,showing compromises on previously ambiguous principles enunciated by both sides. Of these,four points are particularly worthy of attention:
The unequal treaties were a series of agreements made between Asian countries –most notably Qing China,Tokugawa Japan and Joseon Korea and Western countries –most notably the United Kingdom,France,Germany,the United States and Russia –during the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were often signed following a military defeat suffered by the former party,or amid military threats made by the latter. Their terms specified obligations to be borne almost exclusively by the former party:provisions included the cession of territory,the payment of reparations,the opening of treaty ports,the relinquishment of the right to control tariffs and imports,and the granting of extraterritoriality to foreign citizens.

China–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between China and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. For a long period during the Cold War China was critical towards perceived excessive liberalism,too close cooperation with Western Bloc or market socialism of Yugoslavia,therefore the Chinese communists accused the Yugoslav communists of being revisionists,while the Yugoslav communists accused the Chinese communists of being dogmatics. But,the good relations between both socialist states were restored at the end of the 1960s,and improved even more since the Sino-Albanian rupture occurred,with the trend of improved relations continuing in relations with successor states,particularly Serbia. In the 1980s Deng Xiaoping's foreign policy resembled Yugoslavia's stance of being non-aligned and non-confrontational and with Hu Yaobang’s 1983 appraisal of ‘Josip Tito's principles of independence and equality among all communist parties,and of opposing imperialism,colonialism,and hegemonism’. All six former Yugoslav republics have memoranda of understanding with China on Belt and Road Initiative.
