| Summary / Abstract (Note) | While China’s rising imperialism and expansionism with aggressive assertions using military power are the well known facts to worry in the whole world, its (Beijing’s) increasing use of soft power diplomacy to support its expansionist designs not only in Asia but also in the world, is a cause of another serious concern for all nations including India. For the past many years China is consistently expanding its outreach through its ever evolving soft power diplomacy in the whole world, ostensibly for economic reasons in the form of new trade and other financial modalities - the latest being the “One Belt One Road”(OBOR) or Silk Road grand initiative - but the real or ulterior motive is to expand its sphere of influence and hegemony in all continents so as to become a super power or a global hegemon. |
