【Abstract】　Given its transformative  economic development, it is no surprise that China has become more involved in  the world economy.  Because of this shift, the economic diplomacy of China has  made a series of significant achievements and has become a crucial part of its  overall diplomacy.  This new reality has inspired Chinese scholars to conduct  extensive research on China’s economic diplomacy, and the academic achievements  are already impressive.  These studies involve both theoretical and policy  research, including mechanisms, approaches, and the transformation of Chinas  economic diplomacy.
