Through initiatives such as the Belt and Road, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and a network of strategic partnerships, China promotes a world in which influence is distributed more broadly, where developing countries have more agency, and where economic ties – not ideological affinity – are the primary glue of international…
