Since 2013, China has launched the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), aiming to help countries in South Asia, Africa, and the South Pacific build infrastructure through loans and aid, thereby expanding its economic influence. However, the initiative has faced criticism for creating “Debt Traps” and promoting authoritarianism, becoming a major topic in elections across BRI countries. Opposition parties in these countries have often used China as a campaign issue, accusing ruling parties of adopting a “Pro-China” stance that raises economic and national security concerns, and advocating for reduced Chinese influence. After political turnovers, however, attitudes toward China have varied among these countries. Some opposition parties, once in power, have shifted to maintain close economic ties with China, while others have continued their pre-election skepticism. This article examines six BRI countries—Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Pakistan, Kenya, Maldives, and Samoa—based on their levels of BRI investment, political changes since 2013, and the significance of China-related issues in elections. It argues that the degree of debt owed to China and the influence of other major powers are key factors shaping these countries’ attitudes toward China. Countries with significant debt or strong influence from other powers are more likely to remain skeptical, while others maintain close economic ties with China.參考文獻 一、中文部分 專書

However, the initiative has faced criticism for creating “Debt Traps” and promoting authoritarianism, becoming a major topic in elections across BRI countries. Opposition parties in these countries have often used China as a campaign issue, accusing ruling parties of adopting a “Pro-China” stance that raises economic and national security concerns, and advocating for reduced Chinese influence. After political turnovers, however, attitudes toward China have varied among these countries. Some opposition parties, once in power, have shifted to maintain close economic ties with China, while others have continued their pre-election skepticism. This article examines six BRI countries—Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Pakistan, Kenya, Maldives, and Samoa—based on their levels of BRI investment, political changes since 2013, and the significance of China-related issues in elections. It argues that the degree of debt owed to China and the influence of other major powers are key factors shaping these countries’ attitudes toward China. Countries with significant debt or strong influence from other powers are more likely to remain skeptical, while others maintain close economic ties with China. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents
