“Big-power Diplomacy”has been one of the major foreign policies of the People’s Republic of China recently. Since the end of the Cold War, the reshuffle of big powers in the world and the trends toward economic globalization have given the PRC a wonderful chance to improve her relations with her neighboring countries and to rise on the international stage. Having booted her comprehensive national power after her domestic reformation and liberalization, the PRC, resuming her past “Big China” mental status, further reached out to the Western world to strive for a bigger decision-making power and stronger influence in the world.
Geopolitics has long been a crucial factor for the PRC in evolving foreign policies. Since China is a large country, bordered by many other countries, among which, some are regional or global big powers which were at war with China, the PRC has to place great emphasis on geopolitics in order to survive. To reach her final goal of being a real “big power,” the PRC, on the one hand, has been actively establishing “partner relationships” with other big powers to gain international recognition of big power status, suppressing separatism from within, and entering international organizations to develop her economy and to upgrade her overall national power. On the other hand, she has been promoting international diversification and disuniting the US and her allies so that she can establish her big power status and influence in the world. Although the PRC has been successful in entering some international organizations, such as WHO, developing her economy, elevating her international status, and reaching the consensus on “One China” with other countries because of her “Big-power Diplomacy,” she has failed in creating a multipolar-power world owing to the suppression of the super power--the US. Moreover, entering the international organizations established by big powers has brought the PRC many problems that she had not expected.
