Journal 153(634), Oct-Dec, 2023: p.524-537 Since the establishment of the people’s Republic of China in 1949. It has been busy working assiduously towards establishing its primacy in world affairs. Its actions, apparently benign in the beginning, have become increasingly aggressive over the years. Beijing has systematically improved its own economic footprint while investing heavily in other countries, and at the same time, has increased its territorial expanse. A deeper look into the Chinese actions point to a more complex strategic outlook, aimed at ensuring China’s dominion at the global level. – Reproduced U.S.I.
