ABSTRACT At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the Philippines expanded its defense network throughout Asia given the structural incentives and constraints brought by the dominance of the United States and the rise of China. However, the status of the Philippines-India defense partnership remains a puzzling case. Despite motivating structural conditions since the beginning of the twenty-first century, why has the Philippines only begun to significantly maximize its defense partnership with India in 2016? While dominant theories are unable to address this puzzle, the neoclassical realist approach offers some clarity. This article explains how variations in state leaders’ perceptions in the Philippines delayed Manila’s ability to forge strong defense relations with India despite the presence of favorable structural conditions since the beginning of the twenty-first century.

ABSTRACT In a very short time period, China has become a major economic actor in Central Asia. Such economic gains should, according to both the international political economy literature on trade dependence and security ties, result in security gains for China. From that arises the article’s main research question: To what extent is China’s increased economic engagement in Central Asia resulting in Chinese security gains in the region? While Central Asian states are not bandwagoning with China on security matters, China’s primary security objectives in Central Asia are largely being achieved. I argue that Central Asian states will not bandwagon with China as the sole security guarantor, but Chinese security gains will continue to accrue.

ABSTRACT The Indonesian government maintains a security approach to dealing with the armed conflict in West Papua. However, the state’s securitization results in more harm, evidenced by the increasing number of armed attacks in its Central Highlands. Why has the securitization failed to quell the conflict in West Papua? How and why does Indonesia’s government securitize the conflict? This article uses securitization theory to show three strategies the Indonesian government uses to address the conflict and how the government excludes Papuans. It further argues that examining the Papuan resistance is critical to elucidate the ineffectiveness of this securitization. It concludes that securitization must be deliberative in achieving security outcomes, and those would only prolong rather than halt the conflict if only relying on powerful actors.

ABSTRACT Fintech has become ubiquitous in daily life for many Chinese citizens. Individuals have become increasingly used to making digital payments, using online banking services, and purchasing wealth management and insurance products online. We discuss how China gained fintech momentum and how new technologies allowed fintech firms to move forward. We then examine whether China’s fintech momentum will continue.

ABSTRACT In the last decade China has made major strides in developing and producing some world-class products: high performance computers, space exploration vehicles, and financial technology software and devices. Yet, China’s record in other key sectors (semiconductors, electric and autonomous vehicles, and smartphones is unimpressive). This article provides an overview of China’s efforts at increasing the speed and complexity of its domestically produced technical items, and summarizes the findings of a project at NYU’s Center on U.S. China Relations evaluating prospects for future innovation.

ABSTRACT China’s space program is a case study in how China has been able to become a world space power despite US export control restrictions. China’s progress in space technologies can be attributed to several factors, including high-level leadership attention, long-term planning and funding, and technology transfer, both legal and illegal. Although US export control restrictions appear to have slowed People’s Republic of China (PRC) advancements in space technologies, they have not been able to prevent China from achieving its goals. As a result, the US’s primary focus should be on maintaining its lead in space technologies through research and development rather than only attempting to restrict PRC access to US technology and knowhow.

ABSTRACT Chinese companies in the computer and telecommunications sectors have been able to climb the value-added chain and become more innovative and globally competitive in part due to their ability to access global technology supply chains, many with a heavy US company presence. China’s globally active players in these sectors are reliant to some degree on US technology inputs that have now been put in jeopardy by the increasing willingness of the US government to target Chinese firms, and weaponize US company dominance of key supply chains such as software, semiconductors, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This paper examines prospects for Chinese companies to continue to innovate and compete globally in the computer and telecommunications sectors given the worsening geopolitical tensions centering on the technology sector.
