Written by two communication experts, Wolf Warrior Diplomacy and China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs: From Policy to Podium magnifically unpacks China's Wolf Warrior Diplomacy: its fighting spirit, forceful rhetoric, and aggressive spokespersons. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this book demonstrates how much this new style of diplomacy is associated with the rise of Xi Jinping and serves to fulfill patriotic sentiments in Chinese society while projecting strength internationally. The words of Xi's wolf warrior diplomats pack a powerful and potentially destabilizing bite. --Jean-Pierre Cabestan, Hong Kong Baptist University
