The purpose of this article is to enhance the Export Similarity Index to provide more reliable results on whether and to what extent two countries are potential and immediate competitors in the global trade. To achieve this existing methodology was complemented with the set of geographical destinations. This allows the evaluation of the overlap in export portfolios of two or more countries and understanding the possible level of their competition in international trade. To prove the efficiency of this enhanced index China’s export portfolio was compared with 50 largest exporters. Achieved results demonstrate a strong overlap of Chinese trade with Vietnam, Japan, and the Philippines proving the veracity of the introduced methodology.

The geostrategic approach refers to China's method to rise as global power through worldwide trade expansion and the development of its military and naval capabilities. It creates clusters of countries interlinked as China's trade partners, thus being assets to its global ascent. China's importance in global trade is a function of its partners' behavior embracing its trade mechanism. The edges connecting nodes are multidirectional, implying that countries are as much interested in their China-induced interlinkages as they are in their partnership with China. This results in China's centrality, a quality gained from being dominant in trade partnerships in terms of numbers and significance. This chapter examines the approach, process, and historical, geographic, and behavioral components that China uses in its ascent as central node in the international trade network. It explores how underlying dimensions making China's national character conjointly devise its behavior in global trade.
