| Summary / Abstract (Note) | China's maritime development having come up against pressures and challenges in recent years, the concept of "strategic hedging"-that is, pursuit of and investment in policies meant to protect the nation against the effects of geopolitical and economic uncertainty-has emerged. One of its most important proponents is Gao Bai, an ethnic Chinese professor of sociology at Duke University (in Durham, North Carolina) and the author of the article "The High-Speed Railway and China's Grand Strategy in the 21st Century" ....1 Professor Gao believes that the 2008 global financial crisis and the return, through its own strategic adjustment, of the United States to the Asia-Pacific region mean that China's "blue-water strategy" has come to an end. |
