✦ Synopsis

The rise of China and its bigger implications within the international system raise the questions of Beijing's vision of multipolarity. Alongside its growing economic power, China tries to address its own definition of the new world order by officially strongly promoting a multilateralism that makes China an important actor, but limits the responsibilities that come with such a status.

This article explores the Chinese attitude in a multipolar world, and asserts that China's grand strategy is both pragmatic and proactive, by constantly keeping a balance between its opportunities and its duties.p afo_1081 184..204
