Digital Port Exposure in China's Maritime Connectivity
ABSTRACT China's maritime infrastructure expansion is usually analyzed through finance, ownership, location, and dual‐use potential. This article shifts attention to the digital systems through which ports now operate. It develops the concept of digital port exposure to describe how foreign‐linked digital systems become embedded in port operations ...
