During this COVID-19 pandemic, we can see a different trend of Chinese diplomacy- from conservative, passive, and low-key to assertive, proactive, and high-profile diplomacy. Many called it as “Wolf-Warrior Diplomacy”. Why China is resorting to that type of diplomacy? What would be the implication for China’s foreign policy in the future? and is it an effective way to counter what called by the Chinese officials as an “unfair attacks” towards China?

I explored those questions with Professor Zhiqun Zhu, a Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Bucknell University, USA.
