[ ]our model hypothesizes, if and when forging closer cooperation with an external power—in our case, connectivity cooperation with China—boosts the ruling elites’ major pathways of legitimation (and enhances their cooptation and/or coercive capacity), then the state is likely to downplay apprehensions and embrace such big power-backed ventures as the BRI [ ]if a close partnership would undermine the elites’ principal pathway(s) of inner justification, then the state is likely to foreground perceived risks, discount potential benefits, and respond indifferently to the BRI [ ]the AA framework bridges structural and domestic variables (Kuik 2013, 2017) 3 It shows that a structural variable like power asymmetry has no inherent logic Asymmetry Effects: Ambivalent, Uneven, and Dynamic Smaller states view China’s BRI through the prism of power asymmetry Because of the vast disparities between Southeast Asian states and China, the smaller states have always viewed China with ambivalence, seeing China as a source of both apprehensions and attractions (Ba and Kuik 2018)
[]我们的模型假设，如果与外部大国建立更密切的合作——在我们的案例中，与中国的互联互通合作——会促进统治精英的主要合法化途径(并增强他们的合作和/或强制能力)，那么如果密切的伙伴关系会破坏精英的主要内在正当性途径，那么国家可能会淡化担忧，并接受像“一带一路”这样的大国支持的企业。那么，国家就有可能突出感知风险，低估潜在利益，对“一带一路”反应冷漠[]。AA框架架起了结构变量和国内变量的桥梁(Kuik 2013, 2017)。这表明，权力不对称这样的结构变量没有内在的逻辑不对称效应:由于东南亚国家与中国之间的巨大差距，小国一直以矛盾的心态看待中国，将中国视为忧虑和吸引力的来源(Ba and Kuik 2018)。

The Philippines’ engagement with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a case of within-country variation as it shifted from passivity to warm reception from 2016 to the present day Under the Duterte administration, the BRI became one of the focal points of cordial relations with China, despite ongoing territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea, low public opinion of China, and the Philippines’ security partnerships with the major powers defending the current international order This article examines how the Aquino and Duterte administrations perceived the Philippines’ power asymmetry with China in its engagement with BRI While this power asymmetry has been maintained, if not increased over the years, Duterte’s positive stance can be explained by how the BRI projects can possibly help consolidate the authority and legitimacy of the populist leader The essay assesses the benefits and risks of the Philippines’ engagement with the BRI, considering Duterte’s massive infrastructure program, the structural limitations of the Philippine government and its foreign policy positions with respect to China and the other powers in the region In conclusion, the article analyzes the future prospects of BRI projects in the Philippines, given the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in big-power relations
