This article explores the role of China in the system of modern international relations, focusing on its evolving foreign policy, economic influence, and strategic engagements. With the rapid rise of China as a global power, its impact on the international system has become increasingly significant. The study provides an in-depth analysis of China’s foreign policy objectives and its position in key international organizations and multilateral platforms. Furthermore, it examines China’s expanding economic footprint, particularly through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, and the implications of its economic outreach for the global order. The article also delves into the strategic engagements of China, including its military modernization efforts, territorial disputes, and regional security dynamics. The evolving nature of China’s foreign policy, from a primarily regional focus to a more assertive global posture, is a key area of investigation in this study. The analysis also considers China’s role in addressing transnational challenges such as climate change, international development, and global governance. Overall, the research sheds light on the multifaceted nature of China’s role in the modern international system and its implications for global stability and order. By examining China’s diplomatic, economic, and strategic activities, this article contributes to a deeper understanding of the evolving dynamics of international relations in the 21st century and provides insights into the potential opportunities and challenges presented by China’s growing influence.
