The Pakistani think tank Takshashila Institution published on 27 January 2023 an analysis titled "China's Global Security Initiative: Undermining US Alliances or Quest for a New Security Architecture?" by Manoj Kewalramani.
The study details the objectives, scope, and policy implications of the Global Security Initiative (GSI) and concludes that it is fundamentally an attempt to discredit US engagement in the Indo-Pacific, while projecting China as a responsible global power. It marks an effort towards greater securitization of China's economic engagement in the world. The GSI is likely to result in greater Chinese military and security diplomacy across the developing world. Finally, Chinese diplomats and officials have been working to win endorsement for the GSI from as many countries as possible.
