Abstract: Abstract Since the late 1960s, advocates of a ‘Pacific community’ have engaged in forging a regionally based international regime, namely a set of norms, principles, rules and multilateral arrangements to facilitate economic cooperation in the Pacific region. The common assumption regarding China’s role and perspective is that since the late 1970s China has been seeking integration into the capitalist economic system. It follows that China’s stance on regional economic cooperation should be both passive and reactive. Studies informed by purely economic rationalist explanations tend to suggest a nice, linear and progressive ‘learning’ process in China’s seeking cooperative relations in the Asia-Pacific region. As a result the ‘China factor’ in Asia-Pacific regionalism is more often assumed than explained.
