Wolf warrior diplomacy describes an aggressive style of diplomacy adopted by Chinese diplomats in the 21st century under Chinese leader Xi Jinping's administration. The term was coined from a Rambo-style Chinese action film, Wolf Warrior 2. This style contrasts to prior Chinese diplomatic practices that were maximized as taoguang yanghui by Deng Xiaoping, which had emphasized the avoidance of controversy and the use of cooperative rhetoric. This chengyu ("idiom") is an abbreviation of Deng's strategy "observe calmly, secure our position, cope with affairs calmly, hide our capacities and bide our time, be good at maintaining a low profile, and never claim leadership." Wolf warrior diplomacy is confrontational and combative, with its proponents loudly denouncing any criticism of China on social media and in interviews.
