Abstract The Silk Road economic belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiatives (“one belt and one road”) are of significance to enhance Chinas open economy. The article explores the dual security challenge faced by the “one belt and one road” strategy, including traditional security challenges, such as the game between great powers, territorial and island disputes, and individual countrys political turmoil in the region as well as non-traditional threats such as terrorism, piracy and transnational organized crimes. This article analyzes the present situation of security cooperation in the region covered by “one belt and one road” and also suggests that China needs to pay special attention to “three focuses”, namely supply of public security goods, the interests of the United States and Russia, and the pivot of Pakistan, besides developing its own strength.
