Abstract

The New Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, ‘One Belt, One Road ( 一帶一路 , OBOR) initiative, were proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2013. OBOR are plans to draw down $50 billion from the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), use a $40 billion New Silk Road Fund, and borrow from the New Development Bank established by the BRICS states. The geographical linkage envisaged by the OBOR is based on building on the existing and planned global linkages between various regions and local points on the Eurasian continent. The OBOR is an overt expression of China’s power ambition in the 21st century, aiming to refashion the global geopolitical landscape, although it is true that the OBOR was initially motivated by domestic economic development goals. The OBOR bears a close resemblance to US foreign policy before and after the US rose to being a superpower after WWII. China’s recent efforts at amending its foreign policy ( 周邊外交 ) are very much related to this point. It is embodied in con-ceptualization of ‘a community of common destiny,’ and the four basic principles of the foreign policy as friendship ( 親 ), faithfulness ( 誠 ), benefits ( 惠 ), and tolerance ( 容 ). The approach reminds us of an imperial way of state’s strategy. North Korea would be an obstacle if South Korea were engaged in the OBOR initiative, which would work against its own Eurasia Initiative. During the time it is worth questioning the extent to which South Korea has managed to frame its participation in the OBOR under the shadow of the US-South Korea alliance.

中国的西进:“一带一路”的战略观点
我们计划从亚洲基础设施投资银行(亚投行)提取500亿美元,使用400亿美元的新丝路基金,并从金砖国家成立的新开发银行借款。bbbb10设想的地理联系是建立在欧亚大陆各区域和地方之间现有的和计划中的全球联系的基础上的。“一带一路”是中国在21世纪的强大野心的公开表达,旨在重塑全球地缘政治格局,尽管“一带一路”最初的动机确实是出于国内经济发展目标。这与美国在二战后成为超级大国前后的外交政策非常相似。中国最近修改外交政策的努力与这一点密切相关。它体现在“命运共同体”的概念和外交政策的四项基本原则,即“友”、“信”、“利”、“容”。这种做法让我们想起了帝国主义的国家战略。如果韩国参与“一带一路”倡议,朝鲜将成为一个障碍,这将不利于韩国自己的“欧亚倡议”。在此期间,值得质疑的是,韩国在多大程度上成功地在美韩同盟的阴影下参与了bb10。
