Chinese influence activities have attracted widespread scrutiny from governments across the world in recent years. While the literature has chiefly been concerned about the modes and methods in which China has conducted these practices, far less attention has been paid to the "how" and the "why" of recipient countries’ reactions. We add to this tentative literature by examining the responses of Australia and South Korea towards Chinese influence activities. In explaining their different responses, we suggest that the perceived strength and/or weakness of certain dynamics predisposes recipient actors to adopt either more ambivalent or assertive strategies.
