Belgium started to formally declare the establishment of diplomatic relations with China on 25th October 1971. But the first history of relation between China and low country could track back to the Chinese Ching Era (1644-1911), which was organized by Ferdinand verbiest foundation in Leuven in September 1995, including the scholars from the other countries of Europe, also North America, Australia, China. This presentation was exploring the relationship between China and Low Countries, including the affairs to the Holland and Belgium. Many of the topics are dealt with the problems of cultural contact and the exchange, of acculturation and enculturation, the transmission of scientific knowledge, etc.
In 1971, before Chinese open up in 1978, Belgium established the diplomatic relation with China for following reasons. First, France established the diplomacy relation with China in the early 1964, which is because in January of 1959, General de Gaulle advocate its Gaullist, which have its policies competing with the United States, which is similar to the role of the Sino-French: a challenge to U.S. hegemony in the global scale which does not tame allies; a obey baton wants to struggle out of Soviet "family members". So these two countries have common goals towards their governance. Later on, Belgium was follow up France to establish relationship between China. Besides, as a huge population among the east countries, China became a mere object of Western economic interests and power politics. So thus Europe countries, especially Sweden, Demark, Switzerland, German, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Italy, etc. are the first few countries that establish diplomatic relation between China.

    While several Chinese goods were in high demand, the market for Western goods in China was virtually non-existent, in part because China was very self-sufficient and their trade laws denied foreigners access to China’s interior. Only one port in China was open to foreign trade and the Chinese emperor had placed a ban on the trade of most European goods. Gold and silver were the only accepted forms of payment. China’s utter lack of interest in any European goods is clearly expressed in a Chinese emperor’s letter to King George of England, written in 1793. In it, he explains to the King that their country has allowed all European nations to carry on their trade with the people of China at Canton, the only open port, for many years despite the fact that the “Celestial Empire possesses all things in prolific abundance and lack no product within it borders…there was therefore no need to import the manufactures of outside barbarians in exchange for our own produce.” However, he allows the trade to continue, simply out of kindness, so that the Europeans could obtain the Chinese goods that they wanted (Document 1).…

    Throughout history, when one civilization meets another, one civilization will often subjugate the other. Interestingly enough, this also seems to be the case when two superpowers of their time confront each other, like the Chinese and English in the late 18th century. Although there has been much change in the nature of the relationship between the English and Chinese—between 1792 and 1900—with regards to the exchange of ideas, commercialism and each society’s view on the other, there has also been much continuity the relationship between two superpowers, such as the general contempt for Chinese from British.…

This diplomatic tradition was generally a growth of the Chinese administration. China entitled every nation had contact with it to a place in its world order. People were not curious about the neo-Confucian and the general idea that foreign people did not deserve attention roughly specified how large foreign people are going to participate.
