Xi's New Security Concept and the Neighborhood Policy in the Framework of Silk Road Economic Belt

Abstract

The research paper aims to investigate the role of the Chinese president in developing security concepts in developing the economic Belt and Silk Road. With time, it has been observed that people of different nations started criticizing this road's development by criticizing its security policies. Therefore, this research paper tried to check the goals, scope, aims, objectives, and motivation behind China's development of this Belt and the security initiative in both local and international contexts. For this purpose, this study made use of a critical literature review approach and made use of 17 research articles from the Google Scholar website from 2015-2019. The results obtained show that the motivation behind the Silk Road's development is to increase goods transportation and economic contributions between the nations. Also, most scholars supported the statement that national security measures taken by the government of China have now resulted in the development of satisfactory comments by other nations. In the last five years, the security measures by NSC have allowed the management of different countries to increase their trust in the development of this Silk Road. The chances are high that this Belt will evolve quickly in upcoming times.
