Chinese foreign policy under the presidency of Xi Jinping has been at once dynamic and contentious. Its dynamic character can be seen first in its new and self-assured multidimensional activism in the regional and global political economy. The successful launch of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the establishment of the New Development Bank (NDB) among the BRICS states; the articulation of what is arguably a global vision with Chinese characteristics, given form in the ambitious project of constructing ‘one belt, one road’ (OBOR); the active promotion of the concept of a new type of Great Power relations with the United States; and the prominently announced strategy of constructing a community of common destiny through its regional diplomacy—all these can be counted among China's ‘major diplomatic initiatives’ and ‘innovations in diplomatic theory and practice’ in the dawning Xi Jinping era.1 China has also taken up ‘a more globalist stance’ at the United Nations.2 Increased activism in Chinese foreign policy is further witnessed by the global footprint of Xi's summit meetings with world leaders at various global forums ranging from Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the BRICS and the G20 to the world climate change conference in Paris in December 2015 and the nuclear security summit in Washington in April 2016
