Zmieniająca się narracja chińskiej polityki zagranicznej

The messaging found in Chinese abroad policy is utilized for circumstantial purposes. For the most part, China is presenting itself as a affirmative alternate to western domination and a country curious in peace and stability. Under the surface, however, a closer examination reveals different intentions.

After decades of a focus on the West in global politics and the dominance of “Westsplaining” therein, the focus of the global community is now, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, visibly shifting towards the East. This shift is of course dictated by Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine and the immediate threat that it poses to the European Union and NATO. However, the eyes of free world’s public and policymakers are not stopping only at Russia’s borders. They look further, all the way to China.
