| description | China’s growing economic power has been identified as
a major factor in generating profound transformations in
the strategic landscape in Asia. Beijing’s interest in using its
economic power for the pursuit of geopolitical objectives
remains strong. Many analysts believe that the ambitious
Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) represents the continuation
and even intensification of that interest. I unpack the role
of China’s economic power in its external relations by focusing
on how Guangxi, a subnational government in China,
has facilitated the emergence of the BRI. My study suggests
that in-depth knowledge about local governments’ activism
in socioeconomic engagements with neighboring countries
contributes significantly to a more nuanced understanding
of China’s power, particularly its economic power in Asia. |
