“…This reflects a pattern of conditioning engagement on matters of direct relevance to Chinese domestic interests and legitimacy. For example, the Chinese government has used its economic leverage to exert political influence on its trading partners by punishing governments courting the Dalai Lama with a reduction in Chinese imports (Fuchs and Klann ).…”

Critics frequently accuse China of acting as a patron for autocratic states. But does Chinese engagement actually increase the stability of authoritarian clients? This article demonstrates that Chinese bilateral interactions have little effect on the longevity of autocratic regimes. Analyses of different forms of Chinese bilateral engagement between 1993 and 2008—including state visits, arms trading, aid projects, economic cooperation, and trade dependence—show that only export dependence on China may increase the likelihood of survival for autocratic regimes while doing little to stabilize their democratic counterparts.

In the context of global integration, whether a diplomatic partnership strategy can promote outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and how it works are very important issues for China. Based on a dataset featuring China's partnerships collected from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, we establish an empirical framework to assess the role of China's diplomatic strategy in its OFDI arising from partnerships since 1993. The results show that the establishment or upgrade of partnerships has had a positive effect on Chinese firms' decisions on OFDI for at least the short term, especially for firms with higher demand for policy guarantees from the government, such as noncentral firms and non-Beijing firms. The results also show that the increase in OFDI is concentrated in host countries with higher political risks, such as developing countries, neighboring countries, and Belt and Road countries, which is consistent with China's diplomatic focus. Our research proves that China's diplomatic strategy can assist firms to invest abroad.

“…One could have expected it to be limited to the capital goods class that includes industrial transport equipment (locomotives, trains and so one). Indeed, negotiations over the purchase of such products are generally carried out during the course of top‐level trade talks (Fuchs & Klann, ). We also find a positive coefficient for consumption goods.…”

This paper studies the effects of foreign influence on trade, focusing on the close relations between France and its former colonies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It shows that between 1960 and 1989-the golden age of French-African relations-France exported more to its former SSA colonies than to any comparable countries, while they did not export more to France. This excess of French exports concerned a large variety of products, and particularly luxury goods and products in which France was least competitive. An investigation of the underlying mechanisms shows that migration explains most of this additional trade. | 391 LAVALLÉE and LOCHARDIndeed, the trade distortions induced by colonial links are largely documented in the literature. Mitchener and Weidenmier (2008) find that belonging to an empire doubled trade during the Age of High Imperialism . Several papers show that independence reduces colonial trade, but stress that its effect is gradual. Head, Mayer, and Ries (2010) find that trade between a former colony and its colonizer is reduced by 65 percent on average after four decades, but that post-colonial trade does not exhibit immediate significant changes. In the same vein, Lavallée and Lochard (2015) show that independence reduces trade (imports and exports) with the former colonial power and that this effect is mainly driven by former French colonies. Their results also confirm the gradual deterioration of colonial trade, but indicate that it is slower and less important for imports than for exports of former colonies. These results are consistent with extensive empirical evidence that, even today, former colonies still trade disproportionately with their former colonizer. 2
