China and lilliputians: small states in a big power’s evolving foreign policy / Ardy, Charles; Boon, Hoo Tiang   Journal Article
Boon, Hoo Tiang Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Some scholars believe that as China’s power grows more preponderant, it will leverage its growing might to impose its will on others in the international system. This article engages this debate by probing China’s relationship with small states, going beyond those in its region. Small states are particularly apposite because their size and power deficiencies suggest they are among the most vulnerable to pressure or coercion from big powers such as China. Beijing’s diplomacy towards small states, therefore, represents a barometer of Chinese restraint and exercise of its power in a situation of clear power superiority. The article studies this dynamic, unpacking the contours and shape of China’s relations with small states, as well as the narratives and rationales that drive this relationship.

China's state security in a time of peaceful development: a new issue on research agenda / Wang, Yizhou   Journal Article
Wang, Yizhou Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract This paper holds that China's national security during its peaceful rise is a new issue on the research agenda, which requires new counter-measures and collective wisdom. The paper discusses five of China's objectives in addressing national security; namely, from highest to lowest priority, friction among big powers, the Taiwan issue, disputes over sovereignty, protection of interests overseas, and undertaking international responsibilities. Systematically achieving these objectives is of major importance for building up national defence and China's international image. China's state security in the current period of peaceful development is a new issue on the research agendum, for politicians, the military, scholars and researchers alike. Extensive and in-depth discussion is needed. Global security commitments made by a big power might conflict with its own security interests and objectives. Judging by any standard, China's tasks are heavy and the road ahead is long
