The same applies to a country. If&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/china\">China<\/a>&nbsp;feels everyone is against it, it might do best to examine its own foreign policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a rising power, China faces more challenges than others on the world stage, not only because its national interests have expanded and been redefined alongside its increasing capabilities, but because of the systemic competition generated by the anarchic international system. Unlike the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/united-states\">United States,<\/a>&nbsp;China is in the most dangerous place in the world, surrounded by nuclear-armed neighbours and strategic competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/coronavirus\">Covid-19<\/a>&nbsp;pandemic has further strained the relationship between China and the outside world, while the blame game between Beijing and Washington has fuelled strategic tensions between the two countries. A new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/us-china-relations\">cold war<\/a>&nbsp;is looming in the post-pandemic world. China\u2019s territorial disputes with its neighbours have escalated. Sino-Indian relations have plunged since the bloody clash along their Himalayan border. Turbulent waves in the East and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/south-china-sea\">South China Seas<\/a>&nbsp;are rocking China\u2019s relations with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/asean\">Association of Southeast Asian Nations<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/japan\">Japan<\/a>. Even before the pandemic, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/topics\/european-union\">European Union<\/a>&nbsp;had labelled China a \u201csystemic rival\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is China\u2019s \u201cwolf warrior\u201d diplomacy the wrong response? Its ultra-assertive and nationalist posturing has caused a global backlash against its international image and reputation, especially in Europe, the US, and Australia. Even friendly relations with African countries have been damaged, following the alleged mistreatment of African nationals in China during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Please click here to read the full &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/week-asia\/opinion\/article\/3092445\/china-if-you-think-everyones-against-you-its-time-reflect\">China, if you think everyone\u2019s against you, it\u2019s time to reflect<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lowyinstitute.org\/the-interpreter\/hong-kong-finishing-blow\">&#8220;<\/a> article originally published at South China Morning Post, written by <a href=\"https:\/\/testblogs.griffith.edu.au\/asiainsights\">Griffith Asia Institute<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.griffith.edu.au\/asia-institute\/our-researchers\/industry-fellow-rowan-callick\">Researcher<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/experts.griffith.edu.au\/18806-kai-he\">Professor Kai He<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beijing\u2019s foreign policy has to take into account challenges from both nuclear-armed neighbours and strategic competitors.<br \/>\nBut it\u2019s time for self reflection on whether \u2018wolf warrior\u2019 diplomacy is the best response, says Kai He<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":7623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[245,1056],"tags":[284,1093,654,1227,1309,1310],"class_list":["post-7622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-china-and-north-east-asia","category-politics","tag-china","tag-covid19","tag-diplomacy","tag-international-relations","tag-kai-he","tag-wolf-worrier"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"Jill Moriarty","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>China, if you think everyone\u2019s against you, it\u2019s time to reflect | Griffith Asia Insights<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Beijing\u2019s foreign policy has to take into account challenges from both nuclear-armed neighbours and strategic competitors.
