This working paper builds upon an emerging literature regarding sensitivity to foreign-imposed regime change in Chinese foreign policy. Dr. Courtney J. Fung of the University of Hong Kong argues that China's misgivings about foreign-imposed regime change also affect China's response to intervention at the UN Security Council. First, the paper establishes the connection between regime change and interventions at the UN Security Council. Next, the paper categorizes why Chinese scholars and policymakers deride regime change using an analysis of Chinese-language sources. Last, the article draws on recent UN Security Council cases of intervention to reflect on the practical implications of China's sensitivity to regime change for its engagement in UN Security Council-led interventions. Dr. Courtney J. Fung submitted this working paper as part of her research activities for the EAI Fellows Program.
