摘要

中国数字科技巨头百度、阿里巴巴和腾讯在电子商务、数字娱乐、电子金融和人工智能等平台上统治着中国的竞争对手。为了了解BAT的企业实力及其与政府合作的战略角色——在本案例中，他们参与了“一带一路”倡议倡议——本文揭示了这三家寡头垄断企业的能力，并讨论了它们在“一带一路”倡议方面的国际扩张。“一带一路”倡议分为两层，即物理基础设施和数字基础设施，BAT正在为后者做出贡献。本文通过案例研究考察了BAT与国家之间的相互关系，观察了中国政府依赖BAT建设数字基础设施而产生的紧张关系和潜在矛盾，而BAT则试图最大限度地减少国家对其数据驱动商业模式的直接监管。

The rise of Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (BAT) and their role in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

The Chinese digital technology giants, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent (BAT), dominate over their competitors in China across platforms that include e-commerce, digital entertainment, e-finance and artificial intelligence (AI). To understand BAT’s corporate power and their strategic role working with the government – in this case, their involvement in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) – this paper unveils the capabilities of these three oligopolies and discusses their international expansion in relation to the BRI. The BRI is being constructed on two layers, the physical and digital infrastructure, and the BAT are contributing to the latter. This paper examines the interrelations between BAT and the state through case studies, observing the tensions and potential contradictions arising from the reliance of the Chinese state on the BAT to build digital infrastructure, while the BAT seek to minimize direct state regulation for their data-driven business models.
