Combining Rules and Capacity
China has actively expanded its international influence in both technological innovation and global technology governance under the Xi Jinping administration. Over the past decade, its engagement in global AI governance has evolved into a dual pathway characterised by rule-based and capacity-based approaches. Existing scholarship has provided valuable insights into China’s strategic positioning in global AI governance and the roles of domestic ac…
The Aiib as an ordinary development bank? China and the design of international institutions
The institutional design of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), established by China, follows best practices for multilateral development banks, thereby challenging the widely held assumption that domestic regime types affect institutional outcomes. Through qualitative content analysis and process tracing, this article argues that China’s design choices for the AIIB nevertheless reflect domestic political needs. To enhance the bank’s…
The effect of Chinese vaccine diplomacy during Covid-19 in the Philippines and Vietnam
Vaccine diplomacy is a subset of global health diplomacy and refers to the use and delivery of vaccines to achieve a country’s global health goals and foreign policy objectives. Countries have used vaccine diplomacy to increase their soft power during the COVID-19 pandemic. China, an emerging world power, was no exception in this trend. By December 2022, China had dispatched 1.65 billion vaccines worldwide; approximately one-third of the Chinese …
The Macrosecuritization of Antimicrobial Resistance in China
The global spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an existential threat to humanity, one that has generated a macrosecuritizing response by states and international organizations. Since the turn of the century, China has been a source of numerous infectious disease outbreaks. It is also the origin of the MCR-1 gene, which confers resistance to colistin, a “last-line” antibiotic deployed against multidrug-resistant infections. With the larges…
Securitizing HIV/Aids
BACKGROUND: China has experienced unprecedented economic growth since the 1980s. Despite this impressive economic development, this growth exists side by side with the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) crises and the persisting deficiencies in public health provision in China. Acknowledging the prevailing health problems, the Chinese government has encouraged t…
The macrosecuritization of antimicrobial resistance in Asia
This article has two objectives. Drawing on the framework provided by macrosecuritization, this article first explores global responses to AMR. Secondly, in shifting the analytical lens to Asia, the article then evaluates how successful this process has been in a regional context. Considering the two objectives, two inter-related arguments are proposed. First, even though AMR can be considered a quintessential and successful macrosecuritization c…
HIV/Aids in China and India
HIV/AIDS has been a clear threat to human existence for decades, but it was not until 2000 that this was finally recognized by the global community. This innovative comparative study comes at an opportune time to review the HIV/AIDS policies enacted by the international community in the last fifteen years with a special focus on the two Asian countries most affected by HIV/AIDS, China and India. Both countries are rapidly modernizing in the domes…
How is health a security issue? Politics, responses and issues
In the closing decade of the 20th century the myriad challenges posed by infectious disease in a globalized environment began to be re-conceptualized as threats to national and human security. The most widely applied model for identifying and responding to such threats is securitization theory, as proposed by the Copenhagen School. Although its analytical framework is generally accepted, its utility remains contested; especially in non-European a…
