Abstract
In Chapter 3, an argument predicated upon cybernetic theory is made that diplomacy is commanded by the dominant national self-image in the domestic political process. Chapter 4 laid out the potential alternative national self-images in Chinese psychoculture. Chapter 5 suggests how these national self-conceptions may be linked to leadership styles. Now it is possible to write Chinese diplomatic history in the light of the change and continuity in China’s national self-images.
