A welcome change in China's foreign policy

Comments on Jonas Parello-Plesner, Washington and Mathieu Duchâtel "How Chinese nationals abroad are transforming Beijing’s foreign policy" 16/06/2015

It has been a nice and welcome change of Chinese government policy, not only by overseas Chinese nationals but also likely by other countries, given that other nationals may also get assistance by Chinese evacuation operations. As the authors argued, it is also likely to lead to China's more willing adoption of multilateral intervention for the common goods of the international communities. This is an example of globalization leading to better behaviour and policy, and possibly a demonstration of China’s peaceful rise claim.
