China’s Regional Strategy
By Zhang Yunling and Tang Shiping
In the past few years, both Chinese and foreign analysts have begun to reach the conclusion that China has developed a fairly consistent and coherent grand strategy in the past decade, even though they may disagree somewhat on the nature and content of that grand strategy.1 Assuming that China’s regional strategy reflects and supports China’s grand strategy, this chapter will offer an assessment of China’s regional strategy. Because China is a regional power with very limited global interests, we also presume that China’s regional strategy largely corresponds to its grand strategy.
