This book takes China's rise as an opportunity to construct an ideal model of China's grand strategy framework and establish a theoretical foundation for continuing research on grand strategy. The research framework on China's grand strategy in this book is based on three core variables: national power, strategic concepts, and international institutions. The book constructs a basic framework for China's active participation in grand strategy and provides an in-depth analysis of the significant implications of this strategic choice. The book emphasizes that to achieve the grand goals of China's grand strategy, China should adopt the following strategic attitude: not being swayed by praise, nor damaged by criticism; currently knowing when to be assertive and when to be restrained, and in the future, maintaining stability while in a position of strength.
