중국 일대일로 구상 추진 10년 평가와 미중관계

초록

This article evaluates China's 10 years of the ‘Belt and Road initiative’ from the perspective of U.S.-China relations. One of the reasons China raised the ‘Belt and Road initiative’ after the launch of Xi Jinping's first leadership was to respond to the US' ‘rebalancing’ strategy in Asia. China's ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ international cooperation during the second term of Xi Jinping's leadership exposed many achievements and limitations, but it functions as a platform for expanding China's global influence. The United States reacted passively or wait-and-see in the early days of China’s ‘BRI’, but as the strategic competition between the US and China intensified during the Trump administration, it raised the level of its response in a more active way. During the 3rd term of Xi Jinping’s leadership, the ‘BRI’ is highly likely to serve as a platform for expanding China’s global influence and creating a new international order. The Biden administration will compete for influence with China in the region by continuing to promote the existing ‘Indo-Pacific Strategy’ and strengthening new infrastructure cooperation programs such as PGII to respond more actively to China's ‘BRI’.
