The New Silk Road, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative, stands as a powerful manifestation of China's influence extending beyond its borders. This initiative originated as a response to China's need to counter the encirclement resulting from America's pivot to Asia strategy and address internal developmental imbalances by tapping into new markets through its geo-economic prowess. In the context of the evolving global order, the New Silk Road holds immense significance as a determinant of power dynamics. This article explores the fundamental question of how the competition between the United States and China in the Arab Middle East impacts the international power structure. Adopting a process-tracing approach and focusing on the geopolitical dimensions of the initiative, the article examines the strategic shifts towards the West from both American and Chinese perspectives in the establishment of the New Silk Road. Additionally, it delves into the crucial trend of "leaving the belt, putting the road under pressure," providing detailed analysis, and assessing its consequences on the global competition between the two nations. Ultimately, the article concludes that while Beijing's endeavor to launch and advance the New Silk Road may appear as a geo-economic competition on the surface, a deeper examination reveals a geopolitical battle between China and the United States for global dominance in the 21st century.
