The message coming from Washington, Tokyo, Canberra and New Delhi is clear: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is no longer the only game in town and Beijing's policymakers better get ready for fierce competition. Japan's ongoing and future "quality infrastructure" policies and investments in the Indo-Pacific in particular make it very clear that Tokyo wants a (much) bigger slice of the pie of infrastructure investments in the region. China's territorial expansionism in the South China Sea and its increasing interests and presence in countries in South Asia have done their share to help the four aforesaid countries expand their security and defence ties. Beijing, of course, smells containment in all of this and it probably has a point. Who will have the upper hand in shaping and defining Asian security and providing developing South and Southeast Asia with badly-needed infrastructure: the US and Japan together with its allies or the increasingly assertive and uncompromising China and its Belt and Road Initiative? 606 $aPolitical Science / International Relations$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical science 615 7$aPolitical Science / International Relations 615 0$aPolitical science 700 $aBerkofsky$b Axel$0524719 702 $aMiracola$b Sergio 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346884803321 996 $aGeopolitics by other means$92565930 997 $aUNINA
