    Comparative Connections A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations China-Russia Relations: Between Geo-Economics and Geo-Politics Yu Bin Wittenberg University The last four months of 2011 were both ordinary and extraordinary for Beijing and Moscow. There was certainly business as usual as top leaders and bureaucrats frequented each other’s countries for scheduled meetings. The world around them, however, was riddled with crises and conflicts. Some (Libya and Syria) had seriously undermined their respective interests; others (Iran and North Korea) were potentially more volatile, and even dangerous, for the region and the world. Regardless, 2011 was a year full of anniversaries with symbolic and substantive implications for not only China and Russia, but also much of the rest of the world. Prime Minister – future/past President – Putin in Beijing Russian Prime Minister Putin traveled to China on Oct. 11-12 to attend the 16th Regular Meeting of the Prime Ministers of Russia and China. Economic issues were the focus for this scheduled meeting between Putin and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. Of the Russian delegation, 160 of the 250 members were top business leaders. A total of 16 economic and trade agreements worth more than $7 billion were signed a day before Putin’s visit in the areas of finance (one project worth $4 billion, including $1.0 billion into the Russian Direct Investment Fund, founded in June with backing from Putin and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev), investment (four projects worth $90 million), trade (five projects worth $2.55 billion), and 10 other projects ($380 million) including aerospace, biochemistry, IT, renewable energy, etc.

  • China Development Report on South-South Cooperation 2018
    China Development Report on South-South Cooperation 2018 South-South Cooperation and the Belt Road Initiative Edited by Li Ronglin and Ren Yonglei Acknowledgements “China Development Report on South-South Cooperation 2018: the Belt and Road Initiative and South-South Cooperation” is mainly aimed at describing the economic and trade relation between China and developing countries in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative. In addition to traditional trade, investment, and financial cooperation as well as foreign aid, this report has focused on some new areas closely related to the “five linkages” put forward in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which include infrastructure and production capacity cooperation between China and developing countries along the Belt and Road (B&R), the status quo, opportunity and challenge in the development of China oversea Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone (ETCZ), the role of two project cooperation modes, i.e. private and public partnership (PPP) and resources financing, in the BRI and SSC. It is expected that based upon these analysis we can reveal the close relationship between the BRI and SSC. It shows that SSC has laid solid foundation for implementation of the BRI while the BRI will provide new opportunities for SSC. This report is the sixth annual report compiled by Study Center on SSC of Nankai University (SCSSC-NKU). The chapter authors are as the following: chapter one: Introduction, written by professor Li Ronglin, SCSSC-NKU; chapter two: interrelationship between BRI and SSC, written by Dr. Zhou Taidong, Head of Global Development Research Division, Center for International Knowledge on Development, Development Center of the State Council of China; chapter three: the trade cooperation between China and developing countries along the B&R, written by professor Li Ronglin and Dr.

  • China's “One Belt, One Road” Initiative: Context, Focus, Institutions, and Implications
    The Chinese Journal of Global Governance 2 (2016) 30–43 brill.com/cjgg China’s “One Belt, One Road” Initiative: Context, Focus, Institutions, and Implications Michael M. Du School of Law, University of Surrey, UK [email protected] Abstract With the launch of “One Belt, One Road” Initiative, China is injecting vitality into the ancient Silk Road. While China is seen to embrace it as the centrepiece of its economic strategy, the new Silk Road Initiative, if well implemented, is expected to bring forth the opportunity of economic prosperity for both China and the countries in the region. Against the backdrop of the complicated and volatile geopolitics in the mega-regions and the voracious needs for gigantic inputs of resources, etc., however, the operationality of the Initiative is in contrast with the grandiose discourse by the Chinese authorities. In particular, where China’s ultimate target is set to shape a new structure for global economic governance, its ability to lead vis-à-vis its targeted part- ners’ readiness to cooperate, among others, remain to be tested. Keywords Silk Road Economic Belt – Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century – Global governance – Infrastructure connectivity – Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank 1 One Belt One Road The “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century” are initiatives first introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in the fall of 2013 during visits to Kazakhstan and Indonesia, respectively. The initiative consists of two main components, the land-based “Silk Road Economic Belt” (SREB) and oceangoing “Maritime Silk Road” (MSR).
