China In The Asia-Pacific

China’s Belt and Road Initiative elicits much skepticism but is nevertheless a bold attempt to boost Asian integration under its leadership. The high costs and risks of confronting China’s growing regional might means that the US’s influence in the Asia-Pacific is likely to dwindle. But China will not have everything its own way: widespread distrust of both its strategic ambitions and its enterprises means that many countries will continue to prefer investment from the EU, US and Japan. CEQ takes a deep dive into China’s role in the Asia-Pacific.

Also in this issue:

  • Arthur Kroeber asks whether a US-China Power Shift is really taking place
  • Chen Long looks at the measures regulators are adopting to tackle risks in the financial sector
  • Arthur Kroeber and Dan Wang consider China’s export upgrade challenge
  • Jude Blanchette examines China’s Neo-Maoists – Xi Jinping’s best allies today. but perhaps his fiercest opponents tomorrow
  • Simon Cartledge asks whatever Happened To Hong Kong?
