This book discusses the nature of China's current international
reassertion of itself, and the thinking and attitudes which lie
behind it. It argues that the Chinese leadership has a strongly
held view of its own high moral authority, which emphasises
inclusion, equality and mutual benefits, and that this sense of
morality underpins the driving forces for China's foreign policies,
the geo-strategic reasoning for outward expansion, China's
strategic culture, the idealistic rationalization of China's
overseas activities, the overall Chinese worldview, and China's
vision of the Chinese world order. Based on original research into
both writings for policy-making purposes, which indicate realistic
assessments of world politics and of China's international
capacity, and also narratives for public consumption, which have
less emphasis on self-interest and realpolitik, the book approaches
the subject empirically, and not through the lens of any
international relations theory. It highlights how China's outward
expansion has been characterized mainly by spreading influence
through non-use of force, and strategies of "inclusiveness",
"co-operation" and "winning without fighting". The book concludes
however that Beijing's self-privileging high morality may have the
unfortunate consequence of reinforcing its own behaviour which
defies international order and which others disapprove of, thereby
increasing the likelihood of non-armed and armed conflicts.
