China's Foreign Political and Economic Relations: An Unconventional Global Power (State & Society in East Asia)

This balanced and thoughtful book presents a thorough analysis of the dynamics of Chinaâ€™s foreign relations. Sebastian Heilmann and Dirk H. Schmidt provide a comprehensive and discriminating view of the complex, often competing factors (domestic influences, regional tensions, global uncertainties) that shape Chinese foreign policy. They portray the PRC as a land of multiple identitiesâ€”a nation that is becoming more assertive in East Asia as it explores novel approaches to its foreign economic policies, while simultaneously displaying thin-skinned sensitivities when confronted with international criticism. The authors argue that unconventional approaches to foreign relationsâ€”in particular a unique combination of long-term strategies with multilevel policy experimentsâ€”are driving Chinese global expansion. The provocative and challenging final chapter, designed to spur discussion, considers Chinaâ€™s imperial identity warring against the decentralized activities conducted in the â€œshadow of the empire.â€ Illicit transnational â€œguerilla-likeâ€ networks have thus become powerful driving forces behind the continued development of Chinaâ€™s foreign policy as well as its foreign-trade relations. The authors contend that the activities of these â€œniche nomads,â€ with their largely invisible or chameleon-like presence, constitute the most alarming dimension of Chinaâ€™s foreign relations as they gain ground and resources in many parts of the world with the potential to shake the very foundations of other societies.
