Recording available: Silk Cage Series – Webinar III: Corridors, Coasts, and Contestation: China’s Influence Operations in the Bay of Bengal and the BCIM Space
This webinar, the third in the Silk Cage Series, examined how China uses the Bay of Bengal and the BCIM space to operationalise influence across South Asia and the northeastern Indian Ocean. By focusing on influence operations rather than infrastructure alone, the discussion will explore how corridors and coasts function as strategic tools, and how this reshapes regional order, autonomy, and contestation. This Silk Cage Series is a part of the Stockholm Center for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs (SCSA-IPA) research project titled, ‘The Silk Noose: China’s Power Architecture in South Asia and Indian Ocean Region’.
