摘要中国是全球运输业的领导者，在海运港口中的地位尤为重要。对中国以外的所有海港的测绘显示，中国公司在53个国家的96个港口拥有或经营码头资产。中国企业海外港口资产的原始数据集记录了这些港口的地理分布、所有权和运营特征。中国全球港口扩张的国际安全影响是什么？对中国企业与党和国家关系的调查显示，中国领导层可能通过多种机制将商业港口资产用于战略目的。中国企业拥有和经营的国际港口码头已经在和平时期为人民解放军提供了双重用途的能力，建立了后勤和情报网络，使中国能够在世界各地的关键地区投射力量。但这种形式的网络化国家权力在战时是有限的，因为它依赖于非盟国的商业设施。通过提供证据表明海外基地不是全球力量投射能力的唯一指标，研究结果推进了对国家力量来源的识别和测量的研究。中国对中国企业跨国商业港口网络的杠杆作用，构成了一种未被重视但后果严重的国家权力投射形式。
Abstract China is a leader in the global transportation industry, with an especially significant position in ocean ports. A mapping of every ocean port outside of China reveals that Chinese firms own or operate terminal assets in ninety-six ports in fifty-three countries. An original dataset of Chinese firms' overseas port holdings documents the geographic distribution, ownership, and operational characteristics of these ports. What are the international security implications of China's global port expansion? An investigation of Chinese firms' ties to the Party-state reveals multiple mechanisms by which the Chinese leadership may direct the use of commercial port assets for strategic purposes. International port terminals that Chinese firms own and operate already provide dual-use capabilities to the People's Liberation Army during peacetime, establishing logistics and intelligence networks that materially enable China to project power into critical regions worldwide. But this form of networked state power is limited in wartime because it depends on commercial facilities in non-allied states. By providing evidence that overseas bases are not the sole index of global power projection capabilities, findings advance research on the identification and measurement of sources of national power. China's leveraging of PRC firms' transnational commercial port network constitutes an underappreciated but consequential form of state power projection.
