Mr Konrad SZATTERS publishes two articles on the narratives of China’s foreign policy

Mr Konrad SZATTERS, Academic Assistant at the College of Europe in Natolin, has recently published two articles on the narratives of China’s foreign policy: “The changing narrative of Chinese foreign policy” for New Eastern Europe magazine and “China’s dual façade: narratives and realities vis-à-vis the war in Ukraine” for the Central European Institute of Asian Studies (CEIAS). Both contributions explore strategic shifts of China’s foreign policy narratives in response to global events and challenges.

In "The Changing Narrative of Chinese Foreign Policy", Mr SZATTERS examines the evolution of China's official messaging, focusing on how the country seeks to reshape its global image amidst increasing geopolitical tensions.

In "China’s Dual Façade: Narratives and Realities vis-à-vis the War in Ukraine", Mr SZATTERS dissects China's stance on the Ukraine conflict. The article contrasts China's official narratives, which emphasize its neutrality and will for mediation, with the assertive realities of its strategic interests and diplomatic maneuvers.

Both articles contribute to the growing discourse on China's role in shaping global geopolitics through its carefully crafted strategic narratives and provide readers with an exploration of this country's diplomatic strategies.
