Since entering office, the new Chinese leadership has become more confident in its diplomacy, and the country has taken a higher diplomatic profile than it did before.
In the past, albeit former Chinese leaders did visit a number of countries, mostly the major ones such as the United States, they tended to focus on "what China does not want" when making diplomatic claims. For instance, don't interfere in China's internal affairs, don't support Taiwan's "independence", and don't heap groundless scorn on China were usually the messages in leader-to-leader talks.
But there has been a significant change in Beijing's diplomatic style recently, and it has become more proactive.
