“…Arguably, the idea of China as a realistic alternative for international leadership is no longer as unrealistic or unthinkable as was the case one decade ago. Under Xi Jinping's leadership it is not only Chinese foreign policy itself that has changed, but also its ability to have influence in the region and the world (Weissmann 2015;Chang-Liao 2016;Ferdinand 2016;Boon, Li, and Char 2017;Poh and Li 2017;Hu 2019). BRI is an excellent example of this shift, having progressed from being a case of "One Belt" and "One Road" when launched in 2013, to have become an overarching framework for the progress toward Xi's "Chinese dream" of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.…”

Mainstream International Relations (IR) theory has problems fully accounting for the regional dynamics of East Asia. This article explores whether the pursuit of soft power-a concept that has been given a prominent position in research on East Asian IR-can provide one piece of the puzzle for understanding East Asia's regional dynamics. This article proposes an analytical framework for analyzing soft power that problematizes the rigid soft power/hard power binary. The framework proposes a way to understand soft power and the hard-soft spectrum of behavior that allows for the inclusion of economic power while still drawing a line between hard and soft power, where not all economic power is soft, but nor is it all hard. It is argued that to keep the concept of soft power relevant in the East Asian context economic power needs to be included. The line is drawn between economic coercion and economic inducement, arguing that when induced there is still a certain level of freedom as one can choose whether the payments or bribes offered are good enough for it to be worthwhile to change one's preference and behavior. Coercion, in contrast, utilizes a different dynamic where the point is to force someone to do something they are unwilling to do.

“…While the China threat argument emerged in the 1990s, the "Chinese assertiveness" argument emerged in the time period after the 2008 financial crisis and has received ample attention since Xi Jinping came to office in China in 2012. In the literature, it is generally accepted that there has been a change toward assertiveness in China's domestic and international politics under Xi Jinping, for Xi has embraced a more active foreign policy approach than his predecessors [11,44]. In particular, Xi has departed from Deng's mantra of Keeping a Low Profile (KLP) and Bide the Time (taoguangyanghui) and instead has embraced the strategy of "Striving For Achievements" (SFA) (see [44]).…”

Taking pride in the vibrancy and transparency of democracy, countries such as the USA have prioritized the spread of democracy in its foreign policy. The admirable impact that this political agenda has garnered across the globe pushes us to ponder what China would offer as it aspires for a more prominent position on the international stage. Particularly, how would China foster its image in Asia and, as a result, earn a favorable voice and even all-out support from Asian countries, countries economically underdeveloped and politically volatile? This paper sets out to answer this question by critiquing whether or not popular perceptions of China's political system impact how Asians perceive China's influence in general. Conducting statistical analysis using the fourth wave of Asian Barometer Survey (2016) to assess the above argument, we find that Asians who lend their support for China are more keen to the economic opportunities that China's growing economy offers their country than they are of China's political system. In short, China's authoritarian regime type does not factor into Asians' perception of China, except when individuals are highly educated with and committed to democratic principles.

The second is to do an excellent job of tracking and monitoring the international and domestic economic situation and formulate a response plan promptly.…”

“…The people of all ethnic groups throughout the country must strengthen their theoretical self-confidence, selfconfidence in the road, self-confidence in the system and their cultural self-confidence, and unswervingly forge ahead along the correct Path of China.

Xi Jinping's new era of socialist economic thought, rooted in the great practice of China's economic construction, systematically explains the issue of China's economic development and reform, and clearly answers the important questions of how the economic situation is to be judged, how to judge the development stage, how to determine the development goals, and how to do economic work. Xi Jinping's new era of the socialist economy with Chinese characteristics, system integrity, broad depth, logic and strict, each aspect of the discourse has a creative and vital point of view, forward-looking strategic deployment and "four beams and eight pillars" of the key initiatives. Combining the in-depth study of Xi Jinping's new era socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics and the spirit of the Party's 19th National Congress, this paper tries to sort out Xi Jinping's new era socialist economic thought with Chinese characteristics from five aspects, such as direction theory, goal theory, epistemology, strategy theory, and bottom-line theory.
