Abstract

In this chapter, the author first outlines the historical basis of noninterference, how its interpretation has evolved over time, and assesses the conditions under which China is flexible about its application. The author then identifies the pressures for change that have shaped its historical evolution. Lastly, the chapter will address the more intrusive Chinese foreign policy behavior of the contemporary period, or interference with Chinese characteristics, the factors that shape it, and implications for U.S. interests.
