英文摘要 |
This essay borrows the core concept of classical geopolitics theory, lebensraum, to analyze China‘s One Belt One Road (OBOR) policy. By means of examining the interchange and interaction between government leaders and official from China and those OBOR countries, this essay can argue how China evaluates those countries and how many the interactions China made with those countries occur so far. The conclusions are as below: firstly, it is obvious that China put more emphasis on those rimland countries, that is, those in Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia. Secondly, China‘s quest to the oil and gas and understanding on global energy geopolitics triggers its own way to pursue lebensraum; thus, Central Asia is pivotal to China as well, although its significance is less than the rimland. Thirdly, China‘s pursuit to the pivotal accesses has been expanded from energy security to the military security. |
