In recent years, China has become a world leader in e-commerce,
e-currency, 5G and artificial intelligence, cementing itself as a
major competitor to established powers. Gerald Chan poses the
question: How has China pulled this off? Arguing that the answer
lies in the country's Digital Silk Road, a multi- faceted programme
to connect the world via digital means, the book explores how China
has shaped the development of the digital order, secured a critical
role in internet governance and upset the status-quo powers.
Integrating empirical research with innovative theory, this
forward-looking book is the first of its kind to unravel the
complex web spun through China's Digital Silk Road. Chapters offer
a unique Chinese perspective on the evolution of the global digital
economy and digital currencies, highlighting China's growing
influence in driving technological development and setting global
industrial standards. Following on from Chan's previous
publications on the country's high-speed rail networks and maritime
infrastructure, China's Digital Silk Road offers a timely look at
China's predominant role in shaping the global digital order.
Advancing a geo-developmental framework to analyse China's Belt and
Road Initiative, the book will be of unique interest to students
and scholars of Chinese politics and global development.
This innovative book examines the maritime component of China's
Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), focusing on three key trade routes
and addressing the question of how China protects its overseas
assets. Gerald Chan explores China's rising maritime power, using
geo-developmentalism as a theoretical framework to analyse the
country's development of port facilities and infrastructure along
important trade routes. Through developing these sea routes, he
argues that a new global order is in the making. The book also
offers an in-depth and balanced review of two major criticisms of
China's BRI: the first being so-called 'debt trap diplomacy', and
the second being security concerns surrounding China's IT industry,
the resolution of which Chan suggests will pave the way towards
developing a 'digital Silk Road'. Following on from Chan's previous
work on high-speed rail and other land networks, this book offers a
comprehensive and up-to-date account on infrastructure building in
this context. It will prove a stimulating read for scholars and
students of Chinese foreign policy and international relations, as
well as policy makers, government officials and businesses seeking
to better understand China's foreign trade and development
policies.
The first of its kind, this book critically and systematically
addresses questions about China?'s high-speed rail diplomacy and
?'one belt, one road?' initiative. Gerald Chan argues that
?'geo-developmentalism?' is currently being formed in China, and
explores its international impact. Understanding China?'s New
Diplomacy offers an in-depth examination of how China has risen so
quickly to become a high-speed rail superpower, and how this has
impacted positively and negatively on other countries, particularly
its neighbours in Asia. Chan also highlights the challenges the
initiative poses to the state, particularly in balancing these
projects to maintain China?'s status as both a land and maritime
power. By reviewing the country?'s unique style of state capitalism
and its success of absorbing foreign train technology, new
developmental methods exclusive to China are revealed. Government
officials, foreign policy makers and students with a keen desire to
discover more about Chinese foreign policy and international
relations would greatly benefit from the expert insight into
China?'s geopolitical future.
This book focuses on China's increasing involvement in global
governance as a result of the phenomenal rise of its economy and
global power. It examines whether and in what ways China is capable
of participating in multilateral interactions; if it is willing and
able to provide global public goods to address a wide array of
global problems; and what impact this would have on both global
governance and order. The book provides a comprehensive assessment
of China's increasing influence over how world affairs are being
managed; how far China, with increasing clout, interacts with other
major powers in global governance, and what the consequences and
implications are for the evolving global system and world order.
This book is the first to explore China's engagement with global
governance in traditional and new securities.

For many years, political leaders and analysts have debated the
impacts of China's rise on the stability of the existing
international system. International observers have also debated
whether China would be a status quo power or a revisionist power,
and whether China would observe the rules and regulations of
international institutions and regimes. China Joins Global
Governance: Cooperation and Contentions, edited by Mingjiang Li,
provides an insightful contribution to our understanding of these
issues through a specific angle: China's role in global governance.
The contributors to this volume address such questions as, how has
China dealt with major global institutions and regimes? How has
China helped address various global challenges? How is China's rise
changing the international approach to global governance? The
contributors cover a broad range of issues, including China's
vision and strategy in global multilateralism, China's role in
global economic/financial/trade governance, China's policy towards
the global environment and international development, and China's
approaches to various global security issues such as nuclear
disarmament and nonproliferation. China Joins Global Governance is
an essential text in understanding the future trajectory of China's
international policy.

China at 60 explores the interactions between China and the world,
over the course of 60 years of Communist Party rule since 1949 and
the impact of these interactions on China's domestic development.
To understand China's development experience and its
transformation, it is necessary to examine the trajectory of
development from pre-reform to post-reform periods. While the book
may concur with previous findings on the changing development of
China under economic reform, more importantly, it demonstrates the
areas of continuity of the PRC's existence over the entire six
decades. To that end, a dual theme - change-and-continuity and
global-local interactions on China's development - is adopted to
assess the historical development of China's policies in various
issue areas over the past 60 years. The focus is chiefly on the
domestic impacts of China's increasing engagement with the world,
the global implications of China's reform efforts and growing
power, and the long-lasting uniqueness of this rising non-European
nation.The book brings together a team of international experts to
share their perspectives on global-local interactions within a
range of different topics, including foreign policy, domestic
politics, macroeconomic policy, the central-local relations, the
People's Liberation Army, public health, energy security, finance
and banking, foreign trade, and intellectual property rights, as
well as changes in the state's policies towards interest groups
such as ethnic minorities.
Most people believe China's foreign behavior is driven by its
growing power status in world politics. Chinese leaders still
firmly uphold some traditional values in foreign policy such as
sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national unification.
However, it is often neglected that China's behavior is also shaped
by its changing perception of the globalizing world and, to a large
extent, is a result of external pressure on China. By examining the
dynamics of paradigm shifts in China's foreign policy thinking,
this book explores the ideological sources of China's international
relations in the new century. With growing economic interdependence
with the outside world, which creates both constraints as well as
incentives to adapt to the prevailing norms in contemporary
international relations, authors of this volume analyze indigenous
Chinese sources of intellect on the paradigm shifts. The concepts
studied in this volume include national identity, nationalism,
globalism, multilateralism, sovereignty, and the role of
international law in Chinese foreign policy. This volume helps to
shed new light on how the dynamics of paradigm shifts affect
China's behavior in international affairs.
