China's New Diplomacy: Rationale, Strategies and Sigificance. Zhiqun Zhu

Zhiqun Zhu

This fully revised second edition covers Chinese initiatives in the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific and studies China's current efforts to secure energy and other resources, to expand trade and investment, and to enhance 'soft power' around the world. The author further evaluates how China's activities affect these regions' political economy and how the international community, especially the United States, has reacted to China's new diplomacy. This volume continues to answer some lingering questions about Chinese foreign policy and its implications for both China and the international community as they become increasingly interdependent.
