地缘政治紧张局势导致船舶绕行苏伊士运河，非洲的海上枢纽如今被视为替代物流路线。中国在东非地 区广泛的港口存在，凸显了嵌入式物流网络相较于（美国那种）永久性军事存在的优势，也增强了其应 对类似冲击的适应能力。重要的是，中国持续优先发展基于互联互通的韧性，而不是追求公海冲突优 势。 美国及其盟友仍保有压倒性海上实力与成熟的基地网络。但基础设施日益成为战略竞争的核心，中国在 非洲港口的发展方略通过在关键海上通道常态化存在、缩小后勤不对称性，正逐步改变环境。从深层 看，这种模式正在重塑传统海权认知：影响力来源不再仅限于舰队的规模，而是更多包括契约性整合、 准入权与所有权标准。北京的方略区别于西方基于联盟的模式，其特点在于愿意承担商业风险，并在政 治环境变动中保持运营能力，这体现出一种重视经贸影响力优势而非战略对抗的发展理念。 如今，基础设施本身已成为一种持久的影响力工具，中国成功融入非洲海洋经济，其在非洲港口的深度 参与正推动全球地缘政治格局发生更广泛的转变。（作者阿克尚·兰詹等，辛斌译） 港口在现代全球经济中具有重要的战略意义。中国企业资助、建设并运营港口设施，并将其作为共 建"一带一路"倡议的重要组成部分，将技术 ...
