A great read but a glossed over mechanism in geopolitical risk studies is the ripple effect. ———————————— TLDR: BRI’s flagship failure due to Pakistan’s governance instability = Intensification of US-China conflict over Taiwan ———————————— In some ways, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was a way for China to circumvent the two island chains that geographically and economically (and many argue militarily) contain it. Most of China’s manufactured exports and oil-imports are sensitive to blockades in the two island chains. It is a security issue for Beijing. BRI’s flagship failure in the form of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the lack of alternative routes through the Central Asian Stans on its western border, means Beijing might refocus on weakening the American-allied island chains on its eastern coast. If the US is still following a Cold-War era domino theory, it might see Taiwan as the first domino that might take the two-island chains down with it- hence worth defending at immense cost, just like Vietnam and South Korea. Over here we see a ripple effect, Pakistan’s domestic governance instability, and the ensuing failure of CPEC, leads to a lack of alternatives for breaking out for China, and an accelerated re-focus on the two island chains- arguably one that might have happened perhaps a decade late were China successful in Pakistan and less irritated by its eastern containment.
