Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess whether, where, and how the U.S. Navy can leverage newly created policy tools to compete with Chinese economic and diplomatic efforts to secure access to ports and logistics facilities in the Indo-Pacific region. These tools include the Development Finance Corporation, the Partnership for Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, and the Blue Dot Network. This study identifies opportunities for the Navy to leverage these resources to meet strategic and operational requirements.
