China's Foreign Policy Apparatus Is Self-Aware to Recognize That It's Over-Reached

The Chinese are uncomfortable with the amount of progress the U.S. has made in solidifying relationships along China's periphery in Asia, says Bonnie Raison. The new foreign ministers want to return to a favorable environment where they're well received and treated with dignity, she adds.Raison: I don't think Wang Yi by his very nature is a real wolf warrior type. But over time, he toughened his approach, which I believe was an instruction from Xi Jinping that the foreign ministry would more staunchly defend Chinese interests.
