This paper investigates the role of China’s“diplomacy of anger”in its relations with the United States during the Xi Jinping era. It is based on the premise that Beijing deliberately displays anger on the international stage to advance its strategic objectives, particularly regarding issues it considers politically and ideologically sensitive. The study addresses two central research questions: a) Is China’s diplomacy of anger a communicative strategy designed to sensitize the United States and the broader international community to the core tenets of Beijing’s ideological worldview? Or, b) Does it function primarily as a component of cognitive warfare—intended to generate anxiety and fear among other governments and international actors concerning the potential repercussions of Chinese anger, thereby pressuring them to accommodate Beijing’s preferred vision of international order? To explore these questions, the paper employs case studies of Taiwan and Tibet, examining whether Beijing’s reactions to perceived offenses in both contexts follow a consistent emotional script. In doing so, it evaluates whether a coherent and unified emotional strategy underpins China’s diplomatic conduct across different issues, despite the distinct political and ideological roles that Taiwan and Tibet occupy on Beijing’s strategic map. |
