<blockquote>''Not to be confused with [[Third-Worldism]].''</blockquote>The '''Three Worlds Theory''' is a theory proposed by [[Mao Zedong]] in 1974 that categorizes the international system into three worlds.

On April 10, 1974, at the 6th Special Session United Nations General Assembly, Vice-Premier [[Deng Xiaoping]] applied the Three Worlds Theory during the [[New International Economic Order]] presentations about the problems of raw materials and development.<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=New York Times|title=Excerpts From Chinese Address to U.N. Session on Raw Materials|date=1974-04-12|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1974/04/12/archives/excerpts-from-chinese-address-to-u-n-session-on-raw-materials.html|retrieved=2023-07-03}}</ref> This accounted for China's appeals to developing countries in competition with the Soviet Union. In his address, Deng Xiaoping uses the soviet "[[Prague Spring|invasion of Czechoslovakia]]" and instigation of a "war to dismember Pakistan" as examples of soviet "social imperialism." He also cites "extraction of superprofits" and exportation of arms as evidence of such imperialism.
