China’s Belt-Road Initiative as the Signature of President Xi Jinping Diplomacy: Easier Said than Done / Zhao, Suisheng   Journal Article
Zhao, Suisheng Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the design, objectives, and implementation of the Belt Road Initiative (BRI) six years after its inception. It argues that although the BRI as a top-level design on which President Xi has staked his personal legacy is to serve China’s ambitious geostrategic and geo-economic interests, many developing countries have welcomed the BRI because of their desperate need in infrastructure construction. But the BRI’s popularity has exceeded the substance as China has yet to bridge many fault lines on the ground.

Harmonizing the periphery: China’s neighborhood strategy under Xi Jinping / Smith, Stephen N   Journal Article
Smith, Stephen N Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper investigates how Chinese elites understand the proper role of their nation vis-à-vis its ‘periphery’ and how this self-understanding shapes Chinese strategic policy toward neighboring states. It makes two specific arguments. First, after 2012 China began to understand itself as responsible for actively managing and shaping its periphery. Xi Jinping has overseen an evolution in China’s neighborhood strategy that has changed from mere engagement to proactive efforts to shape regional order. Efforts to achieve this goal have come primarily through: institution-building and regional integration via the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, strategic partnerships, normative binding, and developmental statecraft. Second, managing newly emerged power asymmetries between China and its neighbors is now a crucial task of Beijing’s peripheral policy. The emerging China-led regional order relies on norms that are hierarchical, transactional, and reflect status distinctions. Xi Jinping’s neighborhood strategy rests on an asymmetric bargain: respect China’s core interests in exchange for benevolence.
