Away from China’s what? China being basically an information blackhole and their foreign policy not being very flashy means there’s usually little to pay attention to in the first place.
China is also obviously looking at ways to create a military that can compete against the U.S./NATO dominance. They need some teeth to back up their economic pushes.
Well, the non-flashy policy rarely makes any friends. Everyone in the region hates them, except North Korea, which is run by people who might actually spend more time in China. And when it comes to Taiwan I’d say it is flashy.
I mean most of their immediate neighbors do hate them for the most part (Pakistan being a notable exception), and other than Russia and North Korea don’t really have allies, but they do have cordial relationships with quite a few countries. More importantly though, their non-flashy foreign policy also doesn’t make enemies. America’s escapades in the Middle East and South America have earned them worldwide scathing hatred China could never match.
And when it comes to Taiwan I’d say it is flashy.
There’s certainly a lot of saber rattling, but with very little action to back it up.

China’s foreign policy is basically “play whatever side makes the most sense for China”.
Their pattern of behavior shows an end goal of economically dominating the planet. Fully replacing the United States and Europe.
