Though the bilateral relation between China and Bangladesh has been a recent phenomenon in the diplomatic equation of South and South East Asia, the trace of this relation is not new. This started before 2500 years ago though individuals (businessmen, academics, travelers, etc) and statesmen. In 1947, when India got divided into India and Pakistan, China was eager to make relations with Pakistan, the predecessor state of Bangladesh. During the liberation war of Bangladesh, China took the support of Pakistan but could not deny the plea of the self determination of the people of erstwhile East Pakistan. After independence, Bangladesh had neither formal recognition nor diplomatic relations from/with china. But the then Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Majibur Rahman was reluctant to maintain friendly relations with China. The scenario changed when formal bilateral relations were established in 1975. Since then, the rulers used to maintain good relations with China. These relations were primarily strengthened by the government led by Bangladesh Nationalist Party. But, in the last nine years, the government led by Awami Leauge, a party alleged to maintain good relations with India, has been seen to maintain considerate warm relations with China. Thus a China-Bangladesh relation has been nucleus of the foreign policy of Bangladesh.
