愈合的中缅关系：1972—1988年

中缅关系在经历了20世纪60年代末、70年代初的短暂破裂后，虽然在双方努力下不久就实现了正常化，但双边关系一直没有恢复到1967年之前的水平。20世纪70、80年代，双边关系的修复、发展过程，也正是中国内政外交和国际形势均发生重大变革的时代。国际环境的变化、地缘政治的发展、中国内政外交中心的转变，使缅甸在中国外交中的地位下降。

Cicatrized Sino-Burma Ties:1972-1988

After the transitory rift between Beijing and Rangoon in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Sino-Burma relations were normalized in 1971. Nevertheless, the 1972-1988 ties were not restored to the level of 1954-1966. Due to the changes in international and geopolitical environments, as well as the shift of China＇ s internal politics and the reorientafion of its foreign policy, Rangoon lost the position of ＂Air Corridor＂ connecting Beijing with outside world and ＂Buffer State＂ between two camps before 1967.
