The times when China was coolheaded and cautious regarding its foreign policy are over; the Asian giant is ready to show its teeth when its interests are at stake, the India-based newspaper Milli Gazette reported.
In the past, China tried to influence other countries mainly through economic means, using trade and business mechanisms. However, now Beijing has openly shown that it doesn’t approve of any foreign interference in the Asia-Pacific Region, China’s own backyard.
The move towards a more aggressive foreign policy is understandable, as China has enough military potential to start acting in a more dominant fashion on the international level.
According to the newspaper, during the latest visit of John Kerry to Beijing, China let the United States know that the Pacific Ocean is vast enough to serve the interests of both major powers. China offered the United States to start partnership and mutual understanding in the Pacific.
