The World Federation of Scientific Workers, which was founded in 1946, is a non-governmental organization initiated by the British Association of Scientific Workers and other groups. Its members are scientific workers' groups from eastern and western countries. Since the establishment of the WFSW, China has been an important member of it, and has experienced its establishment, development and decline. This article summarized the development history of the WFSW by analyzing the relevant reports and archives of People's Daily, analyzed the development of the relationship between China and the WFSW from 1949 to 1966, and discussed in detail the interaction between China and the WFSW during this period. Then the article pointed out that the WFSW was an important international platform for China to contact western capitalist countries and publicize the political stand of New China during the period from 1949 to 1966. The Chinese government and the scientific community are the important forces to promote the development and growth of the WFSW. At the same time, participating in a series of meetings of the WFSW is a typical case in which the Chinese government serves the country's diplomacy through international activities of the scientific community. Besides, it still has certain reference significance for the development of China's diplomatic work at present.
