Features: This book takes China's rise as the backdrop of the era and systematically analyzes the major theoretical and strategic issues involved in China's full participation in international mechanisms. The author emphasizes that institutionalized survival is an inevitable strategic state for China in its rise, and China's proactive and active participation in international mechanisms is the primary prerequisite and important driving force for this state. China's participation in international mechanisms not only signifies our accurate grasp of the development trends of international relations and revolutionary changes in foreign relations and foreign policy, but also will strongly promote the process of establishing a new international political and economic order and the early realization of the democratization of international relations. The author also fails to notice that the current institutional structure, behavioral norms, and inherent core values of international mechanisms will have certain negative effects on the autonomy of China's international behavior. However, the effective way to resolve these negative effects should not be passively avoiding and resisting. China should instead adopt more proactive participation measures.
