Importance of the global collaboration for the sake of regional development is very well understood by the rising economic structure of China as it has played a very important role in developing such initiates such as Belt and Road Initiative for regional advancement in Middle Eastern countries. The importance of One Belt One road initiative for the economic, cultural, and regional development cannot be overemphasized and thus it is going to bridge the gap between China and Middle Eastern countries. This research is focused on those specific requisite areas, which need a systematic scenario for the implementation of this global progressive initiative. Moreover, this research also exploits the relationship between imperative areas. Although these highlighted associations do not play a stand‐alone role, though they are and will be affected by other prompting factors. The major findings of this research study expose the dependency and mutual exclusion of these factors such as the significant change in our main variable (IPR Paradigm) due to change in Trademark, IPR institution, ownership, and confidentiality adoption because of the Sig. value is 0.014, 0.015, 0.003, and 0.002 respectively, which is less than the acceptable value of 0.05. With a 1% increase in the adoption of trademark, IPR institution, ownership, and confidentiality, the IPR Paradigm will increase by 0.183%, 0.173%, 0.197%, and 0.197% (B value) respectively.

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a national strategy proposed by China to strengthen globalization and regional economic integration, connecting the country to the world. The BRI will drive China's ports to expand connectivity through construction and operation along the '21st-Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR)'. At the same time, port governance involves central, provincial and local governments engaging in overseas investment and financing in the context of the BRI. Under the double-level governance of the central and local governments, discrepancies, disjointed actions and gaps inevitably arise between the policies launched by the central and local governments. This article evaluates 14 major coastal ports operating with state-level support and overseas investment. 11 evaluation indexes are determined from the existing development conditions of ports and the economic strength of port cities. Fuzzy clustering method is applied to evaluate and classify the development of the coastal ports in China and to develop a reasonable implementation mode of the 'going global strategy' of the ports. Consequently, it would help policymakers and stakeholders in China deal with the rivalry of provincial governments, alleviate overseas investment risks and strengthen the foreign port chain management along the MSR.
