With new assertiveness and prominence, China under President Xi Jinping is rightly considered an emerging and aggressive superpower backed by growing economic and impressive military strength. In this meticulous and balanced assessment, Robert G. Sutter traces China’s actions under Xi Jinping, including the many challenges they pose to the international status quo.

He provides a comprehensive analysis of newly prominent Chinese unconventional levers of power and influence in foreign affairs that were previously disguised, hidden, denied or otherwise neglected or unappreciated by specialists. Sutter considers the domestic issues that preoccupy Beijing and the global factors, economic and political, that complicate and constrain as well as enhance China’s advance to international prominence.

Throughout Chinese Foreign Relations, Sutter offers a thorough understanding of China's strategic intentions and the factors contributing to its dynamic rise on the global stage.
