Abstract This article aims to explain the Chinese public diplomacy towards the Taiwanese public as an effort to support one China principle. Researchers see that this one China principle is a stepping stone for China and Taiwan in establishing interactions based on the 1992 consensus. In analyzing, the researcher used the concept of Mark Leonard with the aim to find out how Chinese public diplomacy towards the Taiwanese public was in an effort to support one China principle. The research method used in this research is a qualitative method that is supported by collecting data through literature studies and also reducing the data in conducting data analysis. The results of this study indicate that Chinese public diplomacy towards Taiwan as an effort to support one China principle has gained support for this one China principle coming from the Kuomintang Party and Taiwanese businessmen based on the 1992 consensus.

Summary In late 2011 and early 2012, the People’s Republic of China drew on its most unique diplomatic tool: the giant panda. Although this phenomenon is widely covered by the global media, the practice of panda diplomacy is only barely discussed in diplomatic or international relations studies. This article uses the most recent revival of this diplomatic practice for a closer analysis and locates it as a special version of animal diplomacy within the frame of public diplomacy. It first argues that panda diplomacy is — besides all the efforts to promote and support animal conservation and biological research — a political undertaking, which is symbolically used by the Chinese government to win hearts and minds in selected foreign countries. Second, it highlights an important aspect of some Chinese public diplomacy initiatives, namely China’s ability to integrate international partners in its attempts to shape its global image.

Shed Light

Summary Chinese public diplomacy — considered to be the continuation of its internal affairs — is booming unlike anywhere else in the world. Yet its rise is being hampered by several domestic constraints that are identity-related, institutional, societal and cultural in nature. This contribution aims to shed light on the domestic dilemmas that could hamper the rise of Chinese public diplomacy. It first explains what Chinese public diplomacy entails and the initiatives that have been undertaken by the Chinese government in this field. It then focuses on the different kinds of domestic pressures that are challenging the rise of Chinese public diplomacy, and briefly touches upon the case study of Chinese public diplomacy towards Europe, while suggesting paths to overcome these challenges. The author suggests that in order for Chinese public diplomacy to reach its full potential, China needs to overcome its domestic constraints, and to this end, the Chinese government needs to stimulate the collaboration of Chinese domestic non-state actors with international civil society around shared values.

The number of female leaders, as well as their influ-ence on the diplomatic arena, has been rising in recent years. Taking the case of current Russian MFA spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who enjoys popularity among the Chinese public, this work evaluates the advantages of female diplomats on promoting public diplomacy. By analyzing Chinese audiences’ social media comments on Zakharova and her statements through comparative analysis and rating, the paper concludes that Zakharova con-tributes to create an overall favorable national image of Russia in China. In the era of globalization, it is important to encourage women to actively partici-pate in public diplomacy. Russia with a large num-ber of female leaders has great potential in pushing its diplomacy forward.

Summary This article examines private think tanks as instruments of public diplomacy in China. It analyses relationship-building in three cases of a hybrid form of public diplomacy that combines government agencies and non-state actors and involves multiple stakeholders, both domestic and transnational. Emphasis is upon the actors in China that initiated the projects and developed the networks for each initiative, but the building of the projects’ transnational relationships is also considered. The cases involve three top-ranking Chinese private think tanks: the Charhar Institute’s City Diplomacy projects; the Center for China and Globalization’s Green Card initiative; and the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies’ Think 20 Transnational Network. The analysis demonstrates how and why the public-private partnerships in each case produced shared positive outcomes with synergistic results and advanced China’s public diplomacy objectives. The cases illustrate the advantages of a hybrid form of non-state public diplomacy that combines state and non-state actors.
