3The Belt and Road Initiative and hegemony

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) (一带一路) “Yídài Yílù” is an umbrella term to describe a large range of international infrastructure projects, initiated, sponsored and constructed by China, as part of the international strategy in Chinese contemporary foreign policy. Foreign relations have deep connections with domestic politics, culture, ideologies, identities and history. China is one of the best examples for the strengthening of foreign policies and connection with its domestic political agenda and historical accounts. During the Tributary System, covered in the previous chapter, Chinese domestic equilibrium was supported by its policies in foreign relations. The relation between domestic and foreign agenda functions the same way today, even perhaps more strongly than in the past. Today, Chinese foreign policy is an instrument of domestic politics for legitimacy, perhaps more than at any time.
