China's "non-interference" foreign policy

Sudan is most likely to separate into two independent states. China wants Sudan to keep stability because of the China National Petroleum Company (CNPC) that is stablished in Sudan. China will put in practice a policy of "wait and see" and if violence is developed between north and south Sudan, the traditional foreign policy of "non-interference" with other states internal conflicts will be under further strain. This policy is important for the five principles of peaceful coexistance according to Zhou Enlai and it was made to show  solidarity with "newly independent post-colonial states and to indicate respect for territorial sovereignty".  This policy is sometimes hard to follow for China because it has lots of contact with many nations worldwide in which they have stablished important sources of the Chinese economy. This gives China a sense of responsability over some countries. A war in a country in wich China has stablished companies, can cause a political and economic instability due to the non-interference policy.I think that this policy should be more flexible and able to be violated depending on the situation.I also think that China should be more responsable for Sudan and help them:)
