璁插骇鎻愯锛�/span>China has been one of the pioneers of using limited alignments in its diplomacy towards Southeast Asia and beyond. However, most of the prevailing literature tends to focus on evaluating bilateral relations rather than assessing why and how Beijing deploys its partnership strategy as well as the opportunities and challenges of this alignment type in the minds of Chinese policymakers. This presentation aims to fill this gap by exploring the dynamics of Chinese strategic partnerships in Southeast Asia from the hosting of the 2008 Beijing Olympics up to 2014. Using a mixture of government documents and textual analysis in English and Chinese, this paper argues that the precise trajectory of Chinese strategic partnerships in Southeast Asia is determined not merely by material interests as is traditionally argued, but also the symbolism of image maintenance at the regional level and, to a lesser and varying degree, the domestic political context in China. After explaining how "strategic partnerships" fit into the spectrum of Chinese foreign relations (which range from "friendly partnership of cooperation" to "all weather strategic partnership of cooperation"), the paper delves into the various factors determining a strategic partnership and then applies it to the cases of Chinese partnerships with individual countries in Southeast Asia and ASEAN as a bloc.
