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 tempted by praise, not being harmed by criticism, knowing when to be assertive and when to be cautious in the present, and maintaining stability and balance in the future.
