Abstract

Southeast Asia is a main area in building the Maritime Silk Route. The aim of this study is to explore the probable security risk when constructing maritime thoroughfare and provides suggestions and countermeasures. This paper discusses the requirements to construct new maritime thoroughfare for national economical development. The traditional and non traditional security risks related to the construction of 21st Century Maritime Silk Route are demonstrated in detail. The results show that for the sake of maintaining the security of the thoroughfare and laying a solid foundation for the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, we need to keep a good relationship with the U.S., crack down on terrorism existence, achieve a proper resolution of territorial disputes in the South China Sea and to actively build the non-traditional security cooperation mechanism.
