Chinese leaders are pursuing a long-term grand strategy based on
maintaining a peaceful international environment that allows China
to build the economic and technological foundations necessary to
become a rich and powerful country. This strategy supports the
Chinese leadership's domestic objective of maintaining Communist
Party rule by building an advanced economy and raising living
standards. Chinese leaders are focused on domestic challenges and
view continued rapid economic growth as essential to maintaining
social stability. Despite fears of U.S. and Japanese hostile
actions, they have repeatedly compromised on strategic issues as
necessary to maintain economic growth. In practice, Chinese foreign
policy reflects efforts to balance strategic and economic
considerations and to coordinate the activities of diverse Chinese
economic and political actors to advance national goals. Efforts to
formulate coherent policy are impeded by bureaucratic and political
conflicts of interest, while policy implementation is often
hindered by incentives of Chinese actors to evade government
directives that conflict with their interests. China's increased
global activism is intended to secure inputs for the economy;
protect against a possible U.S. containment strategy; expand
Chinese political influence; and pursue Chinese commercial
interests. The timing and pattern of China's increased activism in
different regions has evolved along largely independent strategic
and economic tracks.
