On 20 September 2022, the China-CEE Institute invited Prof. Jiang Shixue, Former Deputy Director of the Institute of European Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), and a Distinguished Professor of the Shanghai University, to deliver a lecture entitled “How to understand China’s Major-country Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics”. The Institute’s non-resident researchers, researchers from partner institutions, and other scholars participated in the lecture. Prof. Chen Xin, Executive President as well as Managing Director of the China-CEE Institute, moderated this lecture.
In this lecture, Prof. Jiang thought that in China’s diplomacy, the most important buzzword now is Major-country Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics. Prof. Jiang explained the meaning of this diplomacy and discussed the achievements and challenges of its implementation. According to Prof. Jiang, Major-country Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics, also known as Xi-style diplomacy, based on the reality of China’s national conditions today, is the conduct of China’s relations with foreign countries with behaviors moving from “keep a low profile and do something” to “strive to do more” for the purpose of constructing a new type of international relations and a community of shared future for mankind.
The lecture lasted about one hour in total. During the Q & A session, the participants posed several questions about the opportunities and limits for China’s foreign policy arising from the recent SCO summit, China’s main strategies to deal with the environment of discredit and international distrust towards China created by Western countries, and how could the small economies better help to build the peace between China and the United States in the UN and other international organization, etc.
