Abstract

This chapter introduces a novel conceptual framework of Chinese Linkage and Leverage for understanding China’s engagement under the global connectivity framework of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Specifically, I focus on diverse cases in Asia within the subregions such as South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia and examine various dimensions of Chinese Linkage along economic, social, cultural, communication, and intergovernmental ties for the BRI partner countries from 2013 to 2019. Furthermore, I discuss the Chinese Leverage under BRI for unpacking the dynamics and influence of Chinese involvement and bilateral relations with the BRI partner countries.
