Jonas Balkus
I am an MPhil in International Relations student and a member of Jesus College. My research focuses on Chinese foreign policy, in particular the ways in which the historically grounded narratives of 'the Century of National Humiliation' and 'National Rejuvenation' influence foreign policy. Relatedly, I am looking at the impact of the Boxer Rebellion, the Opium Wars, and similar events on the Chinese national psyche.
