Abstract

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) also offers an extended vision of cities’ development and diplomacy. The initiative enables cities to advance national priorities in line with local peculiarities due to geography, fate, affinity, context, and opportunity. It encompasses cities which are nodes of BRI as well as non-node cities. The paper aims to demonstrate how BRI involves Chinese cities that are not on the BRI routes, enabling them as protagonists of international integration. The main argument is that city diplomacy is an outstanding tool to advance the BRI goals. To achieve the aims, a case study focuses on Jingdezhen, an inner city which supports China’s strategy based on the magnificence of its porcelain. The conclusion highlights the main components used by Chinese cities to advance the BRI goals, as well as indicates paths for future research.
