Despite boasting an increased participation in the world stage, China still has to deal with a limited understanding of its global vision and strategy, both theoretically and practically, by the international society. Considering the potential the country has shown to influence global governance scopus and agenda, this chapter sought to discuss, based on qualitative research, what are the new features and main tendencies of the Chinese take on the matter. It begins with an examination of the theoretical frameworks commonly associated with the field of International Relations and the non-Western perspective coming from China, followed by an analysis of the country’s approach to global governance and international cooperation. The main concepts and initiatives investigated throughout the chapter involve the “community with a shared future for humankind”, the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilisation Initiative. The chapter concludes by suggesting that, while, from a practical perspective, the Asian nation must deal with the inherent contradictions of its blueprint for global governance, in a rhetorical level, it advances an impactful narrative which aligns well with the aspirations of developing countries and has the capacity to shape governance arrangements in the long term.
