ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the changes of China's economic statecraft after Xi Jinping regime and examines the implications for regional security order. Xi Jinping regime has responded aggressively to neighboring disputes, which are linked to core national interests. Given the practical constraints of using military force, the economic statecraft will become a means for China to reestablish its position and role in the region. China's economic statecraft after the Xi Jinping regime can be summarized into three characteristics: competition, engagement and coercion. First, China’s development strategies has been transferred from open and comparative advantage after 1978 to state-led innovation and competitive advantage strategies. Second, trade-focused economic diplomacy has been transformed into proactive engagement and regional strategy. Third, the asymmetric interdependence structure is used as a means of coercive diplomacy.
