As China takes up the mantle of a global power, its diplomatic policy has changed significantly as it assumes a role of regional leadership.\n\nUntil recently, China has not tended to talk about its developmental strategy as a model for others to follow. Since the rise of Xi Jinping this has changed, and the state has become more open in sharing its developmental experiences with its neighbours. This has become an important part of China\u2019s diplomatic relations with other countries in East Asia. Beijing has also emphasized people-to-people diplomacy, with outward tourism and other exchanges of peoples seen as an important part of building stronger relations with its neighbours. The chapters in this book all address different elements of this strategy, looking at China\u2019s bilateral relationships with other East Asian countries in terms of developmental relations and the increasing mutual exposure of their citizens.\n\nThis book will be of great interest to scholars of Chinese .
