%X Most analyses of China¡¯s ¡°One Belt, One Road¡± policy focus on the Chinese government or transnational elites. Rarely do the localities receive any attention. Three conceptual failures follow: (1) conventional analyses fail to appreciate any local agency in negotiating with external, globalizing forces; consequently, they (2) fail to perceive local changes taking place not just empirically but also normatively, politically, and culturally; and, they (3) fail to understand local constructions of a new political economy, if not world order. In brief, conventional analyses erase the OBOR Other. This article amends the record
