Abstract

This chapter examines the geopolitical dimensions of China's trade policy by analyzing how the People's Republic of China strategically leverages trade as an instrument of power to achieve greater strategic autonomy and expand its global influence in a rapidly shifting international order, particularly in the face of escalating tensions with the United States; it explores core policy instruments such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the Dual Circulation Strategy, and the Digital Silk Road, while also evaluating China's engagement with multilateral institutions, its efforts to securitize key supply chains, and its ambitions to reform global trade governance, concluding that China's trade strategy should be understood not merely as economic policy but as an integrated component of a grand geopolitical strategy aimed at reshaping the global order in line with its normative preferences and long-term interests.
