Ye Publishes Column on China’s Growth & Regional Impact
Min Ye, Associate Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published a guest column in the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy’s China-India Brief exploring China’s short-term and long-term development objectives and how these impact the region.
In the column, titled “Asia’s Near Future? China’s New Plans and Implications for East Asia and India,” Ye dissects China’s recently proposed Five-Year Plan and 2035 Long-term Vision Document, the priorities laid out in these plans, and how they will influence the rest of Asia.
While China has established a network of top investment partners in East Asia, Ye argues that India is reluctant to welcome Chinese investment in key sectors such as research and development, and infrastructure. Given the geopolitical tensions between China and India, there is much to be done to create a more diverse and competitive regional environment.
The full column can be read on the Centre on Asia and Globalisation’s website.
Min Ye is the author of Diasporas and Foreign Direct Investment in China and India (Cambridge University Press, 2014), and The Making of Northeast Asia (with Kent Calder, Stanford University Press, 2010). Her most recent book, titled The Belt Road and Beyond: State-Mobilized Globalization in China: 1998–2018 (Cambridge University Press 2020), explores the motivations and strategies behind China’s global economic expansion and considers the implications of the country’s status as a global power on both China and the world.
