The digital order is emerging in addition to other pillars of the existing global order including financial, commercial, political, security, cultural, and cyber domains. Numerous actors, especially China and United States, as major global powers, are keen to implement their preferred models and standards in the global digital order. Continuing its overseas initiatives, including financial infrastructures and technological and health ventures, China has expanded an initiative called the "Digital Silk Road," which facilitates China's influence in the global digital sector. This article aims to elucidate how the Digital Silk Road functions in extending China's influence over the global digital order. It addresses the question: How has China's Digital Silk Road provided the infrastructure for a Chinese digital order? The hypothesis is based on the assumption that China's Digital Silk Road has contributed to the expansion of a Chinese digital order to secure greater benefits through introduction of the Chinese digital model, promoting Chinese rules in the digital domain, and implementing them across various regions of the world. The research findings, obtained through an analytical-explanatory method, demonstrate that China, by adopting an innovation mercantilism approach, has infused Chinese characteristics into the global digital order in both theory and practice. Thus, it sparked a strong reaction from proponents of the existing global liberal order.
