China’s Digital Silk Road and its influence in the Indo-Pacific

Policy brief

Metadati delle pubblicazioni

China’s Digital Silk Road (DSR) is aggressively expanding in the Indo-Pacific region. This policy brief analyses the DSR from the viewpoint of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s engagement in implementing technology and its value. In addition, it explores the strategic aim of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the cyber domain, the impact of the DSR in the Indo-Pacific region and the reaction of Japan. The DSR is part of the Belt and Road Initiative and it is Beijing’s strategy to internationalise its technology. It leverages technologies to implement Beijing’s principles in the cyber domain. Expansion of the DSR increases the dependence of countries on China’s economy and technology. It locks in the infrastructure of recipient states and aligns them with China’s authoritarian values by using technology to stabilise their political regimes. Beijing’s strategic approach is vague and its purpose, roles and effects of the Chinese government and the private sector are unclear. This policy brief examines the DSR and uses the PRC’s policy and cases in the region as examples.
