" This volume] is not just timely, but it resides in a field where
interest is growing strongly. For any University course teaching
China's foreign relations, it would comprise a highly recommended
source - in particular for any component dealing with China's
relations with the developing world." . Roderic Alley, Senior
Fellow, Centre for Strategic Studies, Victoria University of
Wellington
It is important to see China's activities in the Pacific
Islands, not just in terms of a specific set of interests, but in
the context of Beijing's recent efforts to develop a comprehensive
and global foreign policy. China's policy towards Oceania is part
of a much larger outreach to the developing world, a major work in
progress that involves similar initiatives in Asia, Africa, Latin
America, and the Middle East. This groundbreaking study of China's
"soft power" initiatives in these countries offers, for the first
time, the diverse perspectives of scholars and diplomats from
Oceania, North American, China and Japan. It explores such issues
as regional competition for diplomatic and economic ties between
Taiwan and China, the role of overseas Chinese in developing these
relationships and various analyses of the benefits and drawbacks of
China's growing presence in Oceania. In addition, the reader
obtains a rare review of the Japanese response to China's role in
Oceania, presented by Japan's leading scholar of the Pacific
region."
