Leaning to One Side

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leaning to One Side (simplified Chinese: 一边倒; traditional Chinese: 一邊倒) was a diplomatic relations policy of the People's Republic of China in its early years. The policy was more than just founding an alliance with the Soviet Union, but meant resolutely supporting the Communist bloc and opposing the imperialist and capitalist camp led by the United States of America.
