This book examines the extent to which China has stabilized its communist regime and defended or pursued its crucial nationalist interests while maintaining a relatively peaceful environment in East Asia. Despite a politics which would seem to be unassimilable and assertive policies regarding sovereignty disputes or the Taiwan question, China exists more or less peacefully within East Asia. This raises an important question: how has this being done? Using Social Identity Theory and Chinese Communist Party's united front strategy, the author uncovers new angles on the mentality and trajectory of Chinese foreign policy, in a study that will interest scholars, policymakers and journalists.
