中文摘要


泰中兩國自古以來就是有著密切關係的鄰國，兩國人民的往來源遠流長。自從共產黨在1949年10月1日統治全中國，因為泰中兩國不同的意識形態、政治制度、經濟制度，使得泰國政府對中國產生疑慮，與此同時冷戰的世界情結，讓泰國視中國爲其安全的威脅，於是僅僅依賴資本主義的強國美國。
泰中兩國的文化和習俗相近，人民情誼如兄弟姐妹般深厚，雙方歷史悠久的友誼，有多少的風風雨雨，但卻不能隔離兩國的友好的情誼，風雨過後，兩國在1975年7月1日正式建交，重新交往，進一步友好往來。
導致泰中在1975年建交的外在因素是關於強權國三角的轉變（美、中、蘇）和東南亞區域的共產黨勢力(越共、泰共)，中國内在因素是關於中國的文化大革命結束，鄧小平提出對外開放和平共處的外交政策；泰國内在因素是關於1973年軍政府被人民推翻而成立文人政府，使得泰國有機會與中國調和關係。
兩國在世界衝突情形之下發展友好關係，剛建交時兩國正在彼此重新認識，後來在柬埔寨問題上變成戰略夥伴。柬埔寨問題解決後，兩國變成了貿易夥伴。。
至今，中國已經發展成爲區域性大國，並且在世界舞臺上的地位日趨重要。但中國的崛起同時也面臨經濟結構、人民生活水準以及環境保護等問題的挑戰。中國的地位不斷提高和相關的利益不斷廣泛，既給泰國帶來機遇，亦給泰中關係帶來影響。無論如何，泰中兩國的文化關聯、友好情誼般的相互支持與援助、兩國對提高人民生活水準共同利益的追求、中國所提倡的和平共處五項原則基礎、東協關於建立東亞一體化，共同促進東亞地區穩定與繁榮的遠景構想，必將成爲未來世界正經風雲變幻的二十一世紀推動泰中友好關係不斷深入與密切發展的重要基礎。
本文試圖就泰中的歷史結構，以及關係正常化前後影響兩國關係的内在、外在因素等方面進行分析。

Abstract

Thailand and China have maintained its diplomatic relationship since the monarchial period. Such exchanges between these two countries remain long standing. On October 1, 1949 the Communist Party began to rule Mainland China, which prompted the Thai government to be more doubtful towards the Chinese government, given the differences in ideology, political and economic system. In the same light, China’s relationship with the rest of the world has become complicated during the Cold War period.

Thailand and China have formally inked its diplomatic treaties of agreement on July 1, 1975, which paved the way for diplomatic exchanges and friendly visits. The relationship between these two nations is deeply rooted from the strong ties established during the early times. The similarities in their culture, custom and traditions have further enhanced their kinship as neighboring countries in Asia.

The rise of United States, Soviet Union and China as emerging super powers and the acceleration of the Communist forces specifically in Thailand and Vietnam has lead the Thai government to expedite the development of a better diplomatic relationship with China since 1975. The end of “Cultural Revolution” and Deng Xiaoping’s initiative in opening China to the outside world can also be regarded as important factors for the Thai government in inking an agreement with China.

Despite of the uncertainties the world was facing during the Cold War period, the pact between Thailand and China has continually flourished on a variety of fields, including exchanges through renewed friendship, strategic alliance and economic cooperation.

This thesis shall present an in-depth analysis of the history behind the transitions in the diplomatic relationship between Thailand and China.
