报告摘要

This lecture examines the progress made since 2013 on China's Maritime Belt and Road starting with the ‘String of Pearls' in the Indian Ocean and continuing with China's port interests in Europe. However, maritime development is not just a question of port infrastructure, it also involves the fleet employed to move the goods, and the shipyards needed to build them. The second part of the lecture will speculate on developments in the near future - those arising from decisions by China's partners/competitors.

本报告探讨了自2013年以来中国海上“一带一路”取得的进展，首先从印度洋的“珍珠链”开始，接着是欧洲的港口利益。然而，海上发展不仅仅是港口基础设施的问题，还涉及用于运输货物的船队以及建造这些船只所需的造船厂。
