Abstract

Since the Belt and Road Initiative was first proposed in 2013, it has mainly pursued a westward strategy, but since then, China has continued to expand its regional scope. In 2017, the Northern Sea Route was included in the Belt and Road Initiative, and in 2018, taking advantage of the easing of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the Liaoning provincial government expanded the scope of the Belt and Road Initiative to include the Korean Peninsula and other Northeast Asian countries. As a result, the eastbound route of the Belt and Road became richer in content as the Northeast Asia Economic Corridor was added to the existing Sino-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor. This study focuses on the eastward strategy and examines the background of promoting the eastward strategy, the main contents of the eastward policy promoted in the three northeastern provinces, and the achievements in the three northeastern provinces since the BRI initiative has been implemented. In addition, it draws conclusions and examines the implications for Korea.
