基础设施是联合国提出的17个可持续发展目标之一,是发展中国家寻求可持续增长的关键考虑因素。基础设施的进步可以推动一个国家成为发达国家,并对其经济产生许多溢出效应。更具体地说,发展中国家基础设施的可用性和质量的提高将通过吸引外国投资者的资本流入来促进经济增长,因为外国投资者认为健全的基础设施是投资决策过程中一个可取的特点。外国直接投资(FDI)可能来自个人,也可能来自公共企业、私营公司或政府,其目的是对外国东道国的企业或项目建立长期和实质性的影响。外国直接投资历来是推动经济发展的关键工具(Duce)。由于南中国海约占国际贸易的三分之一,东南亚在2008年全球金融危机后迅速成为外国直接投资复苏的走廊。因此,世界大国的直接投资者,如美利坚合众国、日本,特别是中华人民共和国,都在迅速增长的东南亚经济体的发展中寻求投资机会。2013年,中国利用其在该地区的影响力,提出了由约65个国家组成的“一带一路”倡议(BRI),通过陆地和海上路线加强欧亚国家之间的联系(Cai)。马来西亚是“一带一路”的参与者,人均国内生产总值在东南亚地区排名第三,自2010年以来,国内生产总值以每年4%至7%的速度稳定增长。除了强劲的增长外,马来西亚沿马六甲海峡的战略位置也使其成为中国有利可图的投资目标。中国对马来西亚基础设施的直接投资
Infrastructure is 1 of 17 sustainable development goals proposed by the United Nations and is a key consideration for developing countries seeking sustainable growth. The advancement of infrastructure can propel a nation to developed status and result in numerous spillover effects on its economy. More specifically, greater availability and quality of infrastructure in a developing country will foster economic growth via the attraction of capital inflows from foreign investors who view sound infrastructure as a desirable attribute in the investment decisionmaking process. Foreign direct investment (FDI), which may come from individuals as well as public enterprises, private corporations, or governments, aims to establish a long-term and substantial level of influence on an enterprise or project in a foreign host country. FDI has been historically implemented as a key instrument in driving economic development (Duce). With the South China Sea accounting for about a third of international trade, Southeast Asia quickly became a corridor for the resurgence of FDI post the 2008 global financial crisis. As a result, direct investors in world powers, such as the United States of America, Japan, and, in particular, the People’s Republic of China, have sought investment opportunities in the development of rapidly growing Southeast Asian economies. In 2013, China, using its leverage in the region, introduced a Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), composed of about 65 countries, to enhance connectivity between Eurasian countries via land and maritime routes (Cai). Malaysia, a BRI participant and the third ranked country in Southeast Asia by gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, has grown at steady annual GDP growth rates between 4% and 7% per year since 2010. In addition to its strong growth profile, Malaysia’s strategic location along the Strait of Malacca has made it a lucrative investment target for Chinese A NEW COLONIALISM?
