So, if the Chinese government promises the people that it will defend the sovereignty and national interest of China, then they will do everything that stands in its power to fulfill its initial intentions.Ĭhinese “message sending methods” are however, based more on classical power demonstration techniques. Thus when the government promises something to the people, should this promise remain unfulfilled, the people of China will be somewhat restless and less cooperative, meaning that the opinion of the people counts more in China then some may expect it. For China, national interests are like a double-edged sword. As for this toughness of the demands, if we inspect them closely we can find many interesting things. The only thing that matters is that Chinese leadership is always adamant in its “demands”. The message of China can be various as the examples show: they can be joint operations, tests (rocket launching, nuclear etc…), doubling naval patrols, regrouping military forces. These restricted military operations (like China’s recent joint military drill with Russia) serve as what we should call “message”. This is a core initiative in Chinese foreign policy when it is about political messages and influence. China in the last few decades adopted a way of executing military operations with the intention of extorting political outcomes from targeted countries. As another term begins in Japan for Abe Shinzo and his party, Chinese leaders reaffirm their opinions on the current “borderlands issues” affecting the country and its neighbors.
