Abstract

Indo-pacific region now has at least two competing strategy of the infrastructure of the output, is China's “The Belt and Road (BRI)” and Japan's “Partnership for Quality Infrastructure (PQI)”, this paper examines the factors that influence the initiative competition and cooperation between the two countries. The main question is: why do the Belt and Road Initiative and the “Partnerships for Quality Infrastructure” embody different states of competition and cooperation at different stages? This paper divides the dynamic mechanism of the competition-cooperation relationship between the two into internal and external levels. The internal perspective includes the attributes and comparative advantages of the two initiatives, among which the attributes include two levels: cognitive and practice. The external perspective is related to U.S. alliance behavior and other geopolitical pressures. It is found that China and Japan have cooperative stimulation in the economic and development aspects of the motivation and the comparative advantage caused by the practice mode, while there is competitive stimulation in the security aspects of the motivation, standards and concepts, and output range. These two basic motivation forms show certain flexibility under the external forces with the United States’ alliance behavior and geo-environment as the main variables.
