China Seeks to Manage Crisis, Shore Up Ties with Diplomatic Flurry in Europe and Asia
China has sent its top diplomats on whirlwind tours of Europe and Asia in a scramble to shore up ties and repair its coronavirus-battered image, amid fears that the conflict with the US may turn into a new Cold War. “China sees a strategic imperative, not opportunity, to engage in such moves as part of the contestation of influence and narratives against the perceived US-led containment scheme,” said Dr Collin Koh, a Research Fellow from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies.
