Now in a fully updated edition, this cogent but comprehensive book
examines the international relations of the People's Republic of
China since its founding in 1949. Noted scholar Robert G. Sutter
provides a balanced assessment of the country's recent successes
and advances as well as the important legacies and constraints that
hamper it, especially in nearby Asia-long the focus of China's
foreign policy attention. Sutter demonstrates how Beijing has
carefully created an image of a China that follows consistent
policies based on morally correct principles, but its record shows
repeated episodes of sometime surprising change and frequent use of
violence, intimidation, and coercion. China's leaders, he argues,
still fail to manage the desire for productive foreign relations
with their aspirations to build Chinese security and sovereignty
interests. Image-building efforts condition Chinese public and
elite opinion to be extraordinarily sensitive, self-righteous, and
often alarmist in dealing with the many disputes China has with its
Asian neighbors and the United States. Advances that the PRC has
made in other parts of the world focus mainly on commercial
interests, limiting its actual impact on world affairs. Sutter
shows readers how to use China's rise in nearby Asia as a reliable
barometer of how important and effective the country will actually
become internationally.
