CMSI Quarterly Review
Volume 1 (2025) Maritime Geopolitics of the Belt and Road Initiative
This volume features eight translated articles examining China’s expanding interests beyond the western Pacific and the strategies it is developing to protect them—particularly along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road corridors. President Xi Jinping first announced the overland Silk Road Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road during an official visit to Indonesia in 2013. Initially referred to as One Belt, One Road (OBOR), the initiative was later rebranded as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
