China is attempting to institutionalize the economic influence that it has already secured through the promotion of the “One Belt One Road” Strategic Initiative and to expand it to the geopolitical level. China's pursuit of the “One Belt One Road” Strategic Initiative inevitably impacts the existing order, and this will be a turning point in the challenge that will lead to a strong response from the established super powers.

Third, the “One Belt One Road” Strategic Initiative creates a shock that can lead to a transformation of the existing world order on the geopolitical level, which inevitably has an international nature that causes a strong response from the existing powers like the United States.
