The Chinese government has also decided to restore the economic and trade relations with South Africa, cut off since July 1960. The international community sanctions for 30 years, South Africa has returned to the embrace of the international family.
South Africa has been able to return to the international arena, which is due to the occurrence of a fundamental change - completely abandoned racial discrimination, apartheid, the majority of black people to be able to share state power, regardless of ethnic group to come together in South Africa, together to create a new democratic South Africa. tenacious struggle of the people of South Africa and the international community, in the face of severe sanctions
de Klerk in September 1989 as the South African President de Klerk to take a sensible, realistic attitude, bold social change onto the broad road to the abolition of the racist rule. Has lifted the ban on the African National Congress, the General Assembly of the Pan-Africanism and the South African Communist Party and other 33 political parties, organizations, the release of more than 1,800 political prisoners, and the release of Nelson Mandela, abolished the barbaric "Group living law", The backbone of the apartheid laws of the Land Act, Population Registration Act, to speed up the reform process in South Africa.
especially since December 1991, after consultation with the Organization of Africans in the dialogue to begin a multi-party system of the negotiations, so that under the apartheid regime. After nearly 20 months of hard work, gradually between the parties bridge their differences and reach a consensus, made a series of breakthroughs in the reform of South Africa. Confirmed on July 2 this year, 26-partisan organization in South Africa to participate in the Summit the nature of multi-party negotiating forum, the first time in the history of South Africa racism general meeting held on April 27, 1994, election of parliament, constitution, form a national unity government.

over half a century, the white minority regime in South Africa developed hundreds of legal racial domination, brutal repression and persecution of blacks. No political rights for blacks as slaves rushed barren "reservations" in life; let alone studying in a school with whites, can not be the same even take a bus, suffered humiliation and discrimination. This tragedy will never be repeated in South Africa.
now, according to the principles developed by the Multi-Party Negotiating Committee, South Africa's draft interim constitution has been drawn up. On September 23, the South African Parliament passed a bill on the establishment of the Transitional Administration Committee.

However, the transformation of South Africa, the process towards democracy is irreversible, the old and then return to apartheid unworkable. As Nelson Mandela said: "We must completely rebuild our country," We have succeeded in building a country of all South African brothers and sisters to each other, sharing weal and woe, to exclude from the point of view of race and ethnicity to explain their identity such a terrible thing. "
People believe that the return to the international family of South Africa, regardless of ethnic joint, united together, to take advantage of the rich resources, will create a democratic, prosperous new South Africa.
