China's land and resource investment in Sino/Southeast Asian borderlands has created new economic opportunities and sets of social relations. Panelists in this session focus on grounded geopolitics and how they get refracted through Chinese investments in large-scale agribusiness and other activities in these border zones. They highlight the complexities of Chinese engagement on Southeast Asia’s borders (past and present) and how they have varied in response to changing local and national interests.
