Abstract

This case study examines the evolution of China–Turkey relations into a multidimensional strategic partnership that closely aligns the Belt and Road Initiative with Turkey's Middle Corridor. It shows how trade, infrastructure, energy, finance, and digital cooperation have expanded rapidly, underpinned by large Chinese investments, AIIB financing, and joint ventures in rail, e-commerce, EVs, and batteries that support Turkey's industrial upgrading and green transition. It also analyzes growing people-to-people, cultural, tourism, and media links that strengthen mutual understanding. At the same time, the paper highlights structural trade imbalances, regulatory and cultural frictions, and geopolitical pressures arising from great-power rivalry and Turkey's NATO role. It concludes that future cooperation in EVs, batteries, energy storage, and digital infrastructure will be central to deepening but also testing this pragmatic, adaptive partnership.
