简 介:China's new program for inter-regional economic connectivity,the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI),will develop new trade routes and production chains linking developing world economies with the giant Chinese market.In recent years,“China threat” discourse is becoming dominant in the English-speaking narratives about the BRI and that has been particularly prevalent in the South Pacific.At the same time,most Pacific island countries have signed up to participate in the BRI.The rise of China will certainly be disruptive to existing power relativities,strengthening China's geopolitical position as the hub for diversified land and maritime trade routes including the South Pacific.The question explored in this paper is whether China and Australia,the dominant regional players,are driven by geopolitical imperatives to compete for power in a high-risk game,or they do their geopolitical constraints which means they can find a formula for cooperation that is mutually beneficial and can manage risks in the region.
