Infrastructure is at the heart of China’s growing, controversial presence in global development. In addition to economic considerations, observers see infrastructure projects as important cogs in China’s pursuit of international influence. However, debates on Chinese global infrastructure are remarkably devoid of historical and comparative context, and China’s infrastructure-influence nexus remains conceptually and empirically unclear. Dr. Austin Strange provides a comprehensive account of Chinese global infrastructure since 1949, showing that high-profile infrastructure has been a tenacious feature of China’s development cooperation. It then discusses how high-profile infrastructure creates both intended and incidental sources of influence by serving as a unique form of political capital as well as a distinct source of political risk for China’s government and host country governments. Contemporary Chinese global infrastructure, both traditional and digital, has important historical and comparative contexts that help illuminate how China’s global infrastructure drive has injected major risk into its pursuit of international influence.
