Foreign relations are the things that a country does with other countries, like trading with them, making agreements with them, helping them if they need it, or sometimes even going to war with them. China is a very big country and has a lot of foreign relations, which means it has a lot of different relationships with other countries. China sometimes trades with other countries, or makes agreements with them, like treaties or promises to help them out if needed. Or, it may sometimes decide to go to war with other countries if it feels threatened. China also has a lot of diplomatic ties, which means it works closely with other countries and tries to solve problems together. All of these things help China stay strong, safe, and keep its good connections with other countries.
