There has been a discernable calibration of Chinese foreign policy
since the ascension of Xi Jinping to the top leadership positions
in China. The operative term here is adjustment rather than
renovation because there has not been a fundamental transformation
of Chinese foreign policy or "setting up of a new kitchen" in
foreign affairs. Several continuities in Chinese diplomacy are
still evident. The People's Republic of China (PRC) has not wavered
from its overarching strategy of rising through peaceful
development. The PRC is still an active participant and leader in,
or shaper of, global and regional regimes even as it continues to
push for reforms of the extant order, towards an arrangement which
it thinks will be less unjust and more equitable. It seeks to
better "link up with the international track", perhaps even more so
under Xi's stewardship. Yet amidst these continuities, it is clear
that there have been some profound shifts in China's foreign
policy. From the enunciation of strategic slogans such as the
"Asian security concept" and "major country diplomacy with Chinese
characteristics"; the creation of the China-led and initiated Asian
Infrastructure Investment Bank; the pursuit of Xi's signature
foreign policy initiative, the One Belt One Road; to a purportedly
more assertive and resolute defense of China's maritime territorial
interests in East Asia-examples of these foreign policy
calibrations (both patent and subtle) abound. In short, this has
not been a complete metamorphosis but there are real changes, with
important repercussions for China and the international system. The
burning questions then are What, Where, How and Why: What are these
key foreign policy adjustments? Where and how have these occurred
in Chinese diplomacy? And what are the reasons or drivers that
inform these changes? This book seeks to capture these changes.
Featuring contributions from academics, think-tank intellectuals
and policy practitioners, all engaged in the compelling business of
China-watching, the book aims to shed more light on the
calibrations that have animated China's diplomacy under Xi, a
leader who by most accounts is considered the most powerful Chinese
numero uno since Deng Xiaoping.
