Chinese President Xi Jinping’s muscular foreign policy could become even more assertive following this month’s congress of the ruling Communist Party, where delegates will agree to support his policies and endorse his second five-year term as party secretary general, observers say.

“Xi’s on a roll,” said June Teufel Dreyer, professor of political science at the University of Miami. She predicted he would continue expanding China’s influence by gradually increasing pressure on other countries, a tactic seen in Beijing’s steady island-building efforts in the South China Sea, for instance.

這個月的中共19大全國會議之後，大陸國家主席習近平在外交政策方面可能更加堅定。觀察家說19大與會代表將表態支持他的政策並同意他連任五年任期的黨主席。

邁阿密大學政治學教授卓萊爾說，習現在氣勢正旺，會持續擴大中國的影響力，並且逐漸增加對他國施壓，這從北京在南中國海努力擴建島嶼就可看出端倪。
