This article argues that diplomacy of imperial China was not only carried out under the
tribute system with Sinocentric assumptions, but also practiced in multiple ways and
traditions, reflecting its adaptation to changes in the external environment. During the Song
Dynasty (960-1279 CE), Chinese diplomacy, under threat from the Liao, Xixia and Jin, was
implemented with flexibility and pragmatism which resulted in Song survival for three
centuries.
