Abstract
Since the “Belt and Road” Initiative was put forward in 2013, it has attracted more and more attention. Many countries along the Belt and Road have participated in it, which has further deepened regional economic integration. Complex network analysis is an interdisciplinary method, which has a perfect overall perspective and data indicators that can quantify the relationship. More and more scholars have begun to pay attention to it and use it to carry out research. Based on the perspective of complex networks, this paper constructs the “Belt and Road” directed weighted network, respectively, according to the import and export trade data of countries and international organizations that have signed cooperation documents, and then studies the characteristics of the “Belt and Road” trade network by using a variety of network topology attribute analysis methods and node centric indicators.
