The development of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) have played a crucial role in China's massive transformation which has turned it into the world's second largest economy and a major world power. This paper seeks to illustrate the historical evolution of China's STI development and the extent to which the country’s security and modernity is connected to it. Furthermore, It intends to explain how China's STI-based development has provided the country with greater foreign policy instruments to develop its Scientific Diplomacy, strengthen its critical industries, boost the Belt and Road Initiative and heighten the impact of its response to the Covid-19 pandemic, at a global level.
