Abstract

China's rise as a worldwide economic powerhouse and the geopolitical countermeasures taken by the United States pose increasing difficulties and opportunities for Asia as it becomes a focal point of global power politics. This essay provides a theoretical framework for comprehending China's foreign policy development by analyzing its neighborhood diplomacy during the last ten years via the constructivist lens. The study emphasizes how China's neighborhood policies, based on friendliness, reciprocity, and inclusivity, promote cooperative stability and a common regional identity. This study uses a qualitative technique and secondary data analysis to examine China's efforts to improve regional connectivity and support the constructivist emphasis on shared norms and values, including the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The results show that China's strategy has changed its interactions with its neighbors, encouraging good neighborliness and regional integration. China's diplomacy demonstrates a strategic commitment to inclusive growth and shared futures by constructing a peaceful and prosperous Asia, tackling the intricacies of modern geopolitics.
