Think Tanks - Beijing, Beijing Shi, China
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was unveiled in 2013 by China's president Xi Jinping and since then has been ubiquitous around the world.Although in recent years much has been said and written about China's flagship Initiative, there are still a lot of uncertainties surrounding it. Which entities and mechanisms are related to BRI? Which projects are actually BRI projects? How much has been invested along the route so far? What are the implications of BRI projects for local and regional economies, societies and the environment? What are the specific financial risks of BRI projects? How far does the Belt and Road Initiative reshape the global trade system and potentially the geopolitical order?All of these questions currently cannot be answered sufficiently. What is certain though is that the BRI is here to stay. Due to the fact that the BRI has considerable potential to impact the political and economic world order greatly – not just because of its financial scale – we believe it is crucial to facilitate the debate and to foster knowledge about the Belt and Road Initiative.Verified information regarding the BRI and related projects is scarce. For this reason, this website seeks to shed light on the different layers of the Initiative and to gather data by looking closely at the single projects along the BRI corridors and the related facts & figures. By doing so we hope, not only to understand the individual projects better but also to draw conclusions regarding the general outline of the single corridors and eventually of the whole Initiative.Sign up for our Newsletter to stay up to date! https://www.beltroad-initiative.com/
