'Zhiqun Zhu has produced the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbook on China's foreign relations. It is a well-researched, detailed, and conceptually stimulating study and very informative for new and experienced readers alike.' David Shambaugh, George Washington University, USA 'Professor Zhu's updated and panoramic view on China's diplomacy is a must-read for experts and general readers who are interested in Beijing's ambitious global power projection. This book is based on insightful analysis of first-hand information and data that the author has painstakingly sourced both in and out of China. There is a wealth of material on the quasi-superpower's fast-growing relations with far-flung regions ranging from Africa and Latin America to the Middle East and Central Asia.' Willy Lam, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Jamestown Foundation, USA 'China is now a key player in the world. In China's New Diplomacy, Professor Zhu provides the reader with a vivid narrative of how China's growing influence has reached different parts of the world through its increasingly sophisticated diplomacy. This book is comprehensive, balanced, and highly recommended. All who are interested in contemporary China's global role should read it.' Zheng Yongnian, National University of Singapore '... profusely informative, patently comprehensive in its treatment to the subject with rich insights into the dynamics of an interface between China's domestic and foreign policy. ... the book is immensely useful for college and university students, offering the course on China and international relations .It is a well-researched, well-argued and well-analyzed volume.

East Asian Integration Studies '... a well-researched, comprehensive picture of China's rise in global affairs since the early 1990s. ... He assembles a vast array of data on China's relationships with each continent and on the bilateral relationships with key countries in those continents. This work is intended for classroom use and has relevant questions for discussion at the end of each chapter. ... there is a wealth of good information and perspectives in this book to make it a worthwhile reference.' New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies 'This volume by Zhu Zhiqun is comprehensive, rich in facts and empirical detail, and able to address both regional level as well as dyadic aspects of the relations. It is an excellent record of, and introduction to, China's relations especially with developing countries. At the same time, it does not lose sight of the important role of the United States and how it reacts to Chinese policies and actions in these world regions. Thus, it is recommended to all students, analysts, and keen observers of Chinese foreign relations.' Asian Politics and Policy
