Construction of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road:Present Situation,Opportunities,Problems and Solutions

The 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road is an important part of China's new landscape of all-round opening-up,responding to the joint demands of both China and many countries in Southeast Asia,South Asia and Africa.This paper examines countries and regions along the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road and makes an in-depth study of their typical economic conditions,opportunities for cooperation with China,as well as related existing problems.There are opportunities in five areas for China to further cooperate with relevant countries and regions; industrial investment,infrastructure investment,resource development,overseas economic & trade zones and maritime economic development.There are also three outstanding problems; poor coordination among executive agents,insufficient financial support and lack of a sound and complete talent team.This paper offers several suggestions concerning the construction of the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road to better fit the national conditions and joint demands of China and the countries and regions involved.

Mechanism and Path of Deepening the Marine Economic Cooperation between Guangdong and ASEAN in the Context of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Construction

The strategy of 21st Century Maritime Silk Road provides favorable policy environment for deepening the economic cooperation between Guangdong and ASEAN,actively promoting the transformation and upgrading of the marine economic structure,and establishing win-win marine economic cooperative development platform. For deepening the marine cooperation with ASEAN,Guangdong has significant advantages in geographical location,humanistic foundation,marine resources and economic strength. Based on interest demands of Guangdong and ASEAN,Guangdong should build the marine economic cooperation mode and mechanism from the overall mechanism and sub-mechanism,establish a three-dimensional marine economic cooperation path with characteristics of Guangdong and ASEAN from top design,to specific cooperation level,then to implementation of supporting facilities,and expand fields of the marine economic cooperation between Guangdong and ASEAN,to promote strategic construction of 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.

Australia's Synergy with the“21st Century Maritime Silk Road”Initiative and Its Prospect

Australia's development and infrastructure plans have synergy with China's 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative, and their political, economic, trade, financial and civil exchanges have deepened bilaterally. However, as the synergy of the development strategies meets challenges, China should stick to the principle of opening-up and inclusiveness to cope with the ups and downs coming up in the ChinaAustralia relationship so as to ensure Australia can contribute positively to the initiative.

Some Thoughts on the Construction of the 21 st Century Maritime Silk Road

As an integral component of the ＂One Belt and One Road＂ strategic vision, the construction of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road will reflect the developing path of China＇ s maritime geo-economy with significant polit- ical and diplomatic implications. Although the construction of the new maritime silk road has its？ endogenous logic and justified considerations, it will encounter various challenges and difficulties. In order to achieve the strategic goal of setting up a community？ of common interest and？ destiny with the relative countries, the ＂Maritime Silk Road＂ program has to be advanced cautiously with the principles of wide consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits.

“Development First”:China’s Investment in Seaport Constructions and Operations along the Maritime Silk Road

Seaports are crucial pivots connecting a state’s national economy with the world economy.As the largest developing country and one of the largest seaport constructors and operators in the world,China insists on the importance of improving people’s livelihood by building key seaports infrastructure,airports,power plants,highways,and railways.Invited by the host countries,China has participated broadly in the construction and operations of commercial seaports along the Maritime Silk Road,which stretches from Southwest Asia to Eastern Africa and to the Mediterranean Sea and the Maghreb.Officials in Beijing argue that the fundamental task facing the majority of developing countries along the Maritime Silk Road is development,and suggest that“bread is more important than the ballot box”.One can anticipate that when the project is executed,the threats to China’s seaport construction will range from financial burdens,ethnic conflicts,attacks carried out by extremists,and cultural misunderstandings with the host nations to great power rivalries.

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”:海上风能的宏观与微观等级区划

以风能宏观战略布局、微观精准选址对合理资源等级区划的迫切需求为牵引,本文采用Delphi法,充分考虑资源特征、环境风险、成本效益,对“21世纪海上丝绸之路”(“海上丝路”)及关键海域的风能展开了常规需求、商业开发、应急供电、用电量巨大几种情景下的宏观和微观等级区划。研究结果表明:从“海上丝路”的风能宏观等级区划来看,大部分区域的风能属于较丰富区和丰富区(风能等级期望值大于0.5),索马里近海、马纳尔湾、斯里兰卡东南近海、南海大风区为风能等级的相对大值中心。从斯里兰卡海域的风能微观等级区划来看,相对富集区分布于斯里兰卡和印度半岛之间的海峡、斯里兰卡东南部近海(风能等级期望值在0.7以上);贫乏区为印度半岛东西海岸、斯里兰卡东部近海和西南部近海。

Using big data to track marine oil transportation along the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road

China's designation of the "21 st-century Maritime Silk Road"(MSR) region is of extraordinary significance to its maritime rights, transportation security, and socio-economic development. We developed a technical framework allowing the use of "big data" derived from the Automatic Identification System(AIS, an automatic ship-tracking network) for two purposes: the accurate mapping of oil tanker trajectories and the creation of heat maps showing the relative use of oil tanker routes and marine shipping chokepoints. We then applied these methods to 1.5 billion AIS records collected within the MSR in 2014 to statistically identify and analyze busy routes, areas, and chokepoints in this strategic region. Our results demonstrate that the proposed framework can provide an effective analysis of oil movements based on large-scale AIS datasets, helping researchers and policy makers better understand the footprint and strategic implications of maritime oil transportation in the MSR region.

物流绩效与中国农产品出口空间溢出效应——基于“21世纪海上丝绸之路”共建国家的实证分析

物流绩效直接影响国际贸易的成本与效率,基于2010-2018年“21世纪海上丝绸之路”31个合作伙伴国家数据,运用物流绩效综合指数及清关效率、物流基础设施质量等6个分项指标,采用空间杜宾模型实证分析物流绩效对中国农产品出口的影响。结果表明:中国向合作国家的农产品出口额和共建国家的物流绩效具有空间集聚效应,一国物流绩效提升会使中国向该国出口的农产品增多,周边国家物流绩效的提升也会对中国向该国的农产品出口贸易产生正向促进效应;物流绩效的各个分项指标产生的空间溢出效应不同,提高清关效率等能促进中国向该囯的农产品出口,国际运输便利性则对此影响不显著。因此,应积极促进合作伙伴国家物流绩效水平的提升,加强共建国家之间的交流合作。

古代海上丝绸之路对“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设的启示

古代海上丝绸之路是中国与亚非欧大陆之间的重要海上贸易通道,对促进当时东西方国家间的经济文化交流发挥了重要作用。“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设应遵循共商共建共享原则,借鉴古代海上丝绸之路的宝贵经验,建立良性互利的国际合作环境、促进多元文化交流与贸易自由化、追求可持续发展模式,夯实互利共赢的国际合作基础,推动构建人类命运共同体。

省域一体化背景下海丝核心区港口连通性研究

应用复杂网络理论,选取网络拓扑特征和度中心性、加权度中心性和介数中心性等指标,搜集2021年第四季度全球班轮公司的1766条航线构建航运网络,从海丝核心区航运网络整体连通程度和港口节点在连通海丝沿线航运网络中起到的重要性程度两个维度研究海丝核心区港口的连通性。结果表明,海丝核心区港口与海丝沿线港口有较为频繁的航线往来,厦门港在海丝核心区居于引领地位;海丝核心区港口对海丝沿线港口的航线联系的广度和深度在我国沿海处于中等水平,海丝沿线7个区域的航运互联互通对海丝核心区港口的依赖程度存在较大差异。为此,未来航线业务拓展要注重利用枢纽港的辐射效应,重点与连通性强的省份开展港口合作,不断提升海丝核心区的国际影响力。

Empowering the Belt and Road with Energy and Resource Cooperation

The China-proposed Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,as a grand initiative for deepening regional cooperation with countries along the routes,cover various fields including economics,society and culture.But among them,energy and resource cooperation is the most practical and feasible way for the Belt and Road to take root,given the economic endowment,development needs and complementary advantages of the various countries concerned,as well as the existing foundation and conditions for cooperation between China and countries along the routes.Therefore,energy and resource cooperation should be a focus and priority for China when exploring cooperation with the Belt and Road countries,and it should be advanced through concrete measures.

海上丝绸之路:18世纪欧洲美学中国化及其范式革命

长期以来,中西美学关系研究的主流范式是讲述西方对中国的影响,忽视了中国美学对西方的影响。回顾中西美学交流的历史可以看到,17—18世纪,中国风景美学观念随着中国风进入西方,适逢其时地满足了剧烈变化中的西方美学发展的内在需求。18世纪欧洲浪漫主义兴起并以对自然风景的重新发现和对异域风情的热衷迷恋为其重要特征,中国风作为遥远的异域审美文化融入其中并起到了重要形塑作用。欧洲美学史由此到达了一个转折点,平衡对称、规则整齐、比例和谐等被视为金科玉律的古典美学观念受到公开质疑并渐告式微,不规则、非对称、多样性和惊奇感等现代美学观念渐成主流。中西美学交流的历史事实表明,中西美学理论并不存在所谓“不可通约性”之类无法跨越的鸿沟。建立讲述中国美学对西方影响的新的学术范式的时机已趋成熟。

印度洋战略地位变化对“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设的影响

印度洋具有显著的战略地位和经济价值,是美国“印太战略”重点关注的区域。美印等国为获得更多地区权力和经济利益不断介入印度洋,影响到该地区贸易运输、海上安全和海洋环境,导致其战略地位发生了明显变化。美国在印度洋不但要控制其航线,还通过向盟友和伙伴国提供公共产品来寻求支持。作为印度洋地区具有重要影响力的大国,印度一方面要维护其传统势力范围,另一方面要从该地区获得经济利益。此外,美印在印度洋地区都有排斥中国的战略意图。从地理上看,印度洋是中国倡导的“21世纪海上丝绸之路”的重要通道,对于海上丝绸之路建设发挥着重要作用,中国的海上力量通过印度洋可以到达非洲东部海域、南太平洋和欧洲海岸。然而,美国提出的“印太战略”目标之一是主导印度洋的地缘政治格局,联合其他西方海洋国家和印度,同中国在印度洋及周边区域展开博弈,这必将影响“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设。因此,中国应加强同印度洋周边国家的深入合作,制定相应的措施,以推动“海上丝绸之路”在印度洋地区的顺利开展。

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”航运物流网络结构研究

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”沿线的航运物流对于全球贸易畅通意义重大,在“一带一路”倡议推进中极具区域板块价值。文中通过引入港口班轮航运连通度指数和物流绩效指数修正引力模型,运用社会网络方法分析“21世纪海上丝绸之路”航运物流的空间关联关系。研究发现:(1)“21世纪海上丝绸之路”航运物流空间关联关系具有显著的网络特征,航运物流网络呈现较好的稳定性,空间关联关系密切程度仍有提升空间;(2)航运物流网络呈现“核心—边缘”的分布格局,呈现出明显的非均衡特征;(3)航运物流网络可以划分为净溢出、经纪人、主受益以及双向溢出板块,板块间的溢出效应具有明显的差异性和传递性,启示各个国家(地区)充分发挥各自在“21世纪海上丝绸之路”建设中的积极作用。

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”背景下印度海权战略布局的调整

自2013年中国正式发起“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议以来,印度基于对中国战略意图的研判,采取了三方面的海上战略调整以对冲中国在印度洋的“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议。首先,不断强化与美、日、澳三国的战略协作,积极响应“四方安全对话机制”的构建与升级,希望借助域外力量牵制中国;其次,拓展在印度洋地区的重要国际航道和战略节点,企图减少中国在印度洋地区的军事活动和军事存在;最后,提出替代性政治和经济援助方案,逼迫其邻国降低对中国的经济依赖,抵消中国在其周边国家不断提升的影响力。印度在对中国“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议的战略目的研判态度上较为谨慎;在构建联盟策略的选择上,倾向于军事整合程度显著低于同盟性质的联盟体系;在执行中倾向替代性而非进攻性海权拓展方案。这反映其对华战略实施具有明显的对冲而非对抗性特征。即便如此,印度的一系列操作已使印太地区的地缘环境更加复杂。美国对于拉拢印度构建“印太”区域互联互通显得更具信心,中国途经印度洋的军事及各类商业船只也面临被监控、拦截、封锁的风险。

“一带一路”框架下中国—东盟深化蓝色伙伴关系策略探究

2023年是中国—东盟建立战略伙伴关系20周年,也是构建更为紧密的中国—东盟命运共同体提出10周年。构建蓝色伙伴关系是中国—东盟全面战略伙伴关系的应有之义,同时也是中国建设海洋强国、推进“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议、参与全球治理的必由之路。近年来,中国与东盟的蓝色伙伴关系在产业合作基础,合作交流领域以及合作机制等方面都取得了长足进展。但同时,双方也面临内部发展水平差异较大、南海冲突不断、生态问题凸显、高端产业拓展不足等诸多挑战。鉴于此,中方应在扎实推进“以经促政”的基础上,坚持“双轨思路”,在产业投入、海陆统筹、贸易通道建设等方面稳中求进,促进区域经济包容发展,推动中国—东盟蓝色伙伴关系不断走向深化。

“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议视阈下中国——马达加斯加海洋命运共同体构建的优势与成效

2023年是共建“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议提出十周年。该倡议旨在加强中国与沿线国家的务实合作,促进蓝色经济发展与海洋文化交融,推动构建海洋命运共同体。马达加斯加与中国拥有悠久的海上丝路渊源,是首批同中国签署共建“一带一路”谅解备忘录的非洲国家。新世纪以来,两国在“21世纪海上丝绸之路”倡议框架下充分发挥发展目标契合和资源能力互补两大优势,取得辐射渔业、港口基建、海洋旅游、海洋科考、海上安全等多领域的务实合作成果。构建中马海洋命运共同体成效显著,不仅在中非共建蓝色伙伴关系中发挥示范效应,也为全球海洋治理和南南合作提供路径参考,尽管在合作广度和深度上面临一些挑战,但总体来说构建中马海洋命运共同体前景广阔。
