Abstract:
China’s expansive engagements beyond its borders over the past decade have resulted in increased scholarly attention to the idea of ‘global China.’ While there is a broad range of activities inherent in this term – including construction investments, digital technologies, development finance, and soft-power projects – popular conceptions of global China tend to focus on the signature policy initiative of the Xi administration: the Belt & Road (BRI).
