The rise of China is an established fact. So too is the increasing impact that a more powerful and confident China is having on the rest of the world. China’s diplomacy is at the centre of the controversy about its role in international politics. Beijing’s interaction with the rest of the world provides a window on how a rising China practices diplomacy and how it presents new challenges.
On May 20, 14:00 – 15:30 the The Hague Journal of Diplomacy and the LeidenAsiaCentre (LAC) organise a panel discussion on China’s diplomacy, on the occasion of the launch of a special issue of the Journal on China’s Global Diplomacy, edited by Qingmin Zhang, Paul Sharp and Jan Melissen.
