Abstract: Abstract In order to understand China’s foreign policy, one has to understand the foreign policy of the countries that have been China’s most serious competitors, first European powers in the XIX Century, then the US in the XX and XXI centuries. Both have implemented, at least since the discovery of the Americas, a global foreign policy aimed at dominating the rest of the world. For dealing with both of China’s competitors it would have been necessary first to fully analyse the foreign policy of European powers, especially England and France. In my previous books (Urio in Reconciling state, market, and society in China. The long march towards prosperity. Routledge, London and New York 2010, Urio in China, the west, and the myth of new public management. Routledge, London and New York, 2012, Urio in China reclaims world power status. Putting an end to the World America made. Routledge, London and New York, 2018) I have already dealt, even if very briefly, with the aggression of European powers starting from the first Opium War (1839–42). I have explained how this defeat had been an unbearable national humiliation that lasted more than one century, until Mao proclaimed the People’s Republic of China, proudly stating that ‘ours will no longer be a nation subject to insult and humiliation.
