Spy Warrior

[Octavia Leithoff]

Withthe widespread adoption of Twitter over the last few years, diplomats who might not otherwise have been noticed gained a voice and could engage with most of their foreign counterparts. Therefore, Twitter and social media in general have become an integral tool for wolf warrior diplomacy. The majority of Chinese diplomats using these platforms are aiming not to influence Chinese citizens but rather to capture the attention of either the foreign ministry or leaders in Beijing.

Considering the increased presence of Chinese diplomats on social media platforms such as Twitter, do you think Western politicians will need to become equally active on social media to balance the level of influence?

Wolf warrior diplomacy is a tactic. All Chinese diplomats are capable of using the tactic when they need to. What has been notable in recent years is that diplomats have strongly embraced wolf warrior diplomacy and made it the dominant way that they interact with the outside world and with foreign audiences. It seems that this kind of behavior is being rewarded by the party center. Those who like Zhao Lijian have indulged in this tactic have often been promoted very rapidly.

There have also been times, nonetheless, when China was more diplomatically isolated and the behavior of its diplomats undermined its international reputation. This led to very impressive periods of rethinking and recalibration, and the PRC was able to shift gears to charm the outside world, win friends, and gather genuine support. Examples of such eras would include the Geneva and Bandung Conferences in the mid-1950s or the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre in the early 1990s.

What surprises many China watchers is that the same brand of rigorous rethinking has been so slow to materialize in recent years. Xi Jinping indicated in his remarks over the summer to the Politburo study session that China needed to work harder to cultivate a lovable and trustworthy image. However, there is not much evidence indicating that the specific tactics involved in wolf warrior diplomacy would be addressed and recalibrated in the short term.
