China and the Enticement Point Strategy

Abstract

The People's Republic of China (PRC) has utilized an Enticement Point Strategy (EPS) as a tool to enhance its soft power effects in Cambodia and Kenya as it relates to the Belt Road Initiative (BRI). The PRC offers a symbiotic relationship with other nations. In the short term, China gets access to resources, infrastructure, and intellectual property within the nation in exchange for the economic potential (infrastructure, manufacturing, and economic growth potential) for national development. In the long term, if the nation takes advantage of the economic growth potential, its national development across the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic (DIME) spectrum will feed Chinese progress and make China the economic and manufacturing center of the international community.
