With regard to the direction of Chinese foreign policy, there coexist two opposing
views—one that supports assertive great power diplomacy and one that supports
prudent policy to aspire to be a great power, based on China’s identity as a developing
country. Currently the Chinese government supports the latter direction. What then
will be the kind of foreign policy that the new administration of Xi Jinping will
pursue, appearing at a time when the international order is changing with the
rapid emergence of China as a world power? Will he pursue a foreign policy
befitting China’s new status in the global community? Or will he continue the
existing policy without changing course? These questions can decisively influence
the international order and East Asian peace. Thus, they are of keen interest not
only to East Asian countries but also to the global community. This paper examines
the direction of Chinese foreign policy based on opinion polls of the Chinese
public.
