摘要

This article proposes how China is using Silk Road diplomacy to redefine its roles on the Asian mainland.This undertaking will inevitably change geopolitical conditions along the Silk Road corridor,and will affect the interests of major powers within that region.For the past five years,Beijing has been vigorously promoting its Belt&Road Initiative(BRI),the most ambitious foreign policy to be adopted by China since Deng Xiaoping’s program of“reform and opening up.”This is an enormous initiative that will require vast amounts of capital and multilateral cooperation,so many risks will be encountered in the course of its implementation.The objectives of the article are to:(a)explore the ideas,goals,and strategies of Silk Road diplomacy from the constructivist perspective;and(b)analyze the attendant difficulties,as well as how Silk Road diplomacy is likely to affect the Silk Road countries and China’s Western provinces.
