China’s New Foreign Relations Law

Cheung, Olivia

Abstract

China's new foreign relations law reflects Xi’s “change first, legislate second” approach. Two things stand out in the law. The first is bolstered party authority in foreign policy making (Articles 5 and 9). The second concerns Beijing’s approach towards western sanctions and criticisms (Article 33).
