Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the changes in the Chinese Communist Party’s doctrine, by stressing the main findings of the 18th Congress of the Party held between the 7th and 14th of November, 2012. It is an attempt to explore the fundamentals of China’s unique and genuine model of development and the Chinese liberal-type vision concentrated in concepts such as “harmonious society”, “peaceful development”, “social justice and equity” and “ethical governance”. Also, the Paper stresses the current challenges to China’s national sovereignty, based on its relations with Japan, North Korea, and on the evolutions of the unsolved dossier of Taiwan. Concerning China’s foreign policy agenda in the years ahead, Beijing will be charged with the task of balancing its traditionally low foreign policy profile with its increasing assertive day-to-day actual foreign policy behavior.
