Abstract：This paper utilizes the Stockholm Institute's arms transfer data and the World Bank's database, adopts network analysis and negative binomial regression and other methods to study the pattern and driving factors of the military technology transfer network along the B&R, and analyzes the influence of the US, and the study finds that:First, the scale of military technology transfer from countries (regions) along the B&R is on a rising trend. Secondly, the military technology transfer network has obvious polarization characteristics and core-marginal structure; Third, Russia is the absolute leader of the largest flow network of military technology transfer, but the network influence and control is on a decreasing trend, and the network influence of China and Turkey is improving significantly. Fourth, the scale of military science and technology transfer from the United States to countries (regions) along B&R Initiative has increased rapidly by 1.52 times, the increasing penetration of military influence into China's neighbourhood and the spatial layout of the militarytechnical transfer is consistent with the scope of Spearman's Rimland theory and creates a posture of encirclement of China. Fifth,Geographical distance, economic and trade relations, geopolitical relations, science and technology innovation capacity, national development level, capital investment, resource endowment and political stability have significant effects on the scale of military technology transfer through the transferring country.
