It discusses the formation and evolution of the mechanism, concentrating on Chinas leading role in this process, and covering a range of issues related to the mechanisms organizational development. This discussion includes the broad context of Chinas foreign policy, a coherent framework analysis of institution and cooperation issues, the internal aspects of the heterogeneity, external aspects of its asymmetry interactions, and finally, its emphases on cooperation in the two primary dimensions of great powers engagement and localization. After the end of the Cold War and the sudden and shocking collapse of the Soviet Union, the geopolitics of Central and Eastern Europe begins to undergo dramatic changes. Since then, an increase in public discussion in China about the transformation from the planned economy to market economy became very visible. Moreover, this part of the world perceives as the gate to Europe through almost forget Silk Road. Both factors have played a crucial role in shaping Chinas interest in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. Following the points mentioned above, Chinas interests in Central and Eastern Europe are due to several factors, including its frontier stability, national security, economic expansion, and search for new sources of energy and new markets for made in China products. Recognition of the importance of the region culminates in the recent Chinese grand strategy of Belt and Road, which highlights Central and Eastern Europe as the essential link in Chinas plan New Silk Road strategy. In this regard, the China-CEEC Cooperation Mechanism has a crucial role in Chinas Go West strategy. 001475934 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations$$zEurope. 001475934 651_0 $$aChina$$xForeign relations. 001475934 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001475934 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGu, Hongfei$$tFrustrated Relations?$$dSingapore : Springer Singapore Pte.
