This paper argues that, despite changing global scenarios, there is a consistency in how the People's Republic of China sees and behaves vis-à-vis the outside world. Through its inexorable 'rise' in contemporary times it has been making nuanced adjustments of its tactical postures within the parameters of broad and abiding strategic goals. The author gives a historical overview of China's posture and presents case studies of recent Chinese policies that illustrate the consistency of China's foreign policy behavior.
