This article examines China’s contemporary foreign policy and the emergence of “wolf warrior” diplomacy through the lenses of realism, liberalism, and constructivism. While realism provides a strong explanatory framework for China’s assertive behavior in an anarchic international system, liberalism and constructivism offer important complementary insights into the roles of economic interdependence, institutions, identity, and discourse. The analysis further explores how different forms of power - soft, hard, smart, and sharp - interact within China’s global strategy. Ultimately, the study highlights the need for an integrated theoretical approach to fully understand the complexity of China’s rise and its implications for international relations.
