    Land-sea integration engineering refers to the engineering projects involving overlapping elements of land and sea and play significant roles in the development and operation of these domains, including ports, bridges and tunnels, and land reclamation and others. In recent years, land-sea integration engineering projects have gained momentum and impetus in China and the level of technology utilized in these projects has seen an improvement compared with previous efforts. This study shows that although the land-sea integration engineering has played a significant role in the development of China’s coastal regions’ economies, but such works are challenged by unbalanced development, poor coordination in planning and execution, weak governance of the environment and safety operations issues. This paper suggests that China should gradually strengthen the development of land-sea integration engineering systems, which covers a broad area from the coasts to the deep seas, using pilot programs that are upgraded progressively to full-scale programs due to their success. Futhermore, China should focus on the land-sea integration engineering in the fields of coastal marine engineering, land-sea communication, marine transportation engineering, island development and protection engineering and coastal disaster prevention and mitigation engineering.

    The strategic pivot of the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road refers to China’s policy of bolstering bilateral trade, science and technology, and cultural cooperation between itself and the silk road countries. In recent years, a broad range of fruitful cooperation has become a reality between China and the silk road countries in constructing economic and trade cooperation zones and transportation infrastructure. But the outcomes can be improved by addressing unclear top-level planning, less than optimal spatial layout for projects, and lack of intensive multilevel engagement between China and its partners. This study aims to strengthen the strategic pivot around the basic goal of “five-links” by analyzing China’s foreign trade data and identifies the key areas and construction modes of strategic pivot with AHP and Delphi methods. This paper also advances some policy recommendations for the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road such as enhancing economic and trade cooperation zone construction, scientific and cultural exchange, and regional and industrial cooperation.
