How China interacts with the international community will help define the 21st century’s political, economic, military, and governance norms worldwide. The intersection of China’s growing ambition for global influence and existing U.S. overseas engagement is where the two countries are forced to contend with how their national interests, goals, and worldviews converge and diverge. The Chinese Foreign Policy project assesses China’s strategic intentions and foreign policy behaviors to reduce the likelihood of misunderstanding, misperception, and miscalculation. By furthering dialogue among regional actors, we work to expand interaction between the Chinese foreign policy community and their counterparts in other countries, aiming for a nuanced and realistic understanding of Chinese strategic intentions valuable for policymakers, practitioners, and experts.
