“…Scholars such as Alves (2013), Brautigam and Tang (2012), Gallagher and Irwin (2015) and Zhang and Keith (2017) have applied the concept in their examination of China’s pursuit of geopolitical and geoeconomic goals. Chinese economic statecraft could result in increased geopolitical influence and interference in other countries’ domestic structures (Reeves, 2015; Urdinez et al, 2016). Norris (2016: 13) links economic statecraft with a state’s grand strategy and does so by operationalising China’s mobilisation of its commercial actors to ‘capitalise on, reinforce, or reduce the associated strategic externalities.’…”

China’s grand strategy is evolving towards greater activism under Xi Jinping – from ‘keeping a low profile’ to ‘striving for achievement’. New initiatives such as forging ‘a new type of international relations’, ‘a community with a shared future for mankind’, and the Belt and Road Initiative have become marked features of the ‘Xi-change’ in China’s grand strategy. From an economic statecraft perspective, this article hypothesises that the Xi-change led to a power centralisation in the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Railroad Economic Belt. To support its geopolitical and geoeconomic objectives, the Chinese state has replicated the domestic state-industrial complex. In the context of the Jakarta–Bandung High-speed Rail Corridor, the domestic roles of the National Development and Reform Commission and the China Railway Corporation have been internationalised to ensure the globalisation of China’s high-speed rail industry could be conducted in a concerted and choreographed fashion.

“…Reeves argues that the unanticipated collateral damage of civil unrest indirectly triggered by Chinese economic statecraft in the country ultimately raises doubts over the absolute value of political gain nurtured from its application. 25 Before extending the review of the relevant literature to the specific realm of this study, it is first necessary to provide a definition of the SoP, since the crux of the debate revolves around the extent to which China has been able to successfully leverage its economic statecraft in the IOR for strategic purposes. The SoP is a relatively novel concept which emerged after the turn of the century in an attempt to define what appeared to be the roots of an emerging strategic Chinese imprint upon the IOR.…”

Leveraging the “String of Pearls” for strategic gains? An assessment of the Maritime Silk Road Initiative’s (MSRI) economic/security nexus in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR)

Since the launch of the Maritime Silk Road Initiative (MSRI), observers have witnessed the consolidation of a growing Chinese presence in ports around the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). This growing presence has caused alarm among skeptics who view the MSRI as a second coming of the String of Pearls (SoP). Indeed, China is seen as leveraging MSRI port investments in return for national strategic and geopolitical gain, such as ultimately gaining a military foothold in MSRI ports. Regardless of China's purported intent, this paper seeks to add nuance to this debate by examining whether Beijing can actually achieve such strategic gains in the IOR via the deployment of its economic statecraft (via MSRI investments). As the paper shows, the MSRI's current rollout-as well as the inherent resistance to the strategic dimensions of this rollout-offer little in the way of empirical support to the SoP concept.
