The Security Dimension of China's Belt and Road Initiative

Mher Sahakyan

Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is far more than an instrument of Chinese foreign economic and development policy, argues Mher D Sahakyan of the China-Eurasia Council for Political and Strategic Research in Yerevan, Armenia. The BRI, he writes, is the backbone of a new kind of Chinese diplomacy – one shifting from a defensive posture to a proactive stance focused on enhancing national security and countering American power and influence.
