edit

Prior to joining the University of Denver, Zhao was an associate professor of political science at Washington College and an associate professor of East Asian politics at Colby College.[6]

Research

edit

Zhao contends that since 2008, China has become increasingly assertive in foreign affairs, particularly in its relations with the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific countries. Zhao attributes this increased assertiveness in part to China's efforts to restore itself from a self-perceived position of victimhood in international affairs.[citation needed]
