A look at what lies ahead for China's Belt and Road Initiative

It's been 10 years since China rolled out its ambitious Belt and Road infrastructure and investment project, stretching across the globe. It paved the way for the expansion of Beijing's worldwide reach, while also offering a golden opportunity for lower-income countries. Today, the BRI spans three continents. It involves 147 countries -- two-thirds of the world's population -- and 40% of global GDP.

    The BRI has distinguished China from traditional major powers. The BRI is a rejection of zero-sum confrontation, it is not even a "national strategy" by the traditional definition, nor a policy to serve the interests of only one country. "In the past, many people asked what China's rise will bring to this world, and the BRI is an answer from China. The reason why more and more countries have become interested and participated in the initiative, despite some noises and stigmatizations from some Western politicians and media, is simple: It brings benefits to everyone.

    CMA is blind to the achievement of the last ten years of BRI initiatives. Hundreds of bridges, schools, stadiums, ports and government building were constructed during this ten years especially in Africa. Not to mention thousands of miles of rail track laid across Asian continennt and Africa. Compare to zero infrsyructure contribution from western nations in this ten years, BRI is a resounding success.

    The director of pan-africanism today Akende Membe said this if you look at the Western and the imperialist countries they come with their own interests. The vice president of the U$ came to Zambia landed at a chinese-built airport in Zambia moved on a chinese-built road in Zambia. It's it's ironic that Kamala Harris will travel to Zambia and tell zambians stop trusting the Chinese and having a relationship with them when everything that she has used in Zambia the Chinese basically helped build.

    MOFA Taiwan denounces George Yeo’s controversial remarks Yeo’s recent recommendations for Taiwan to consider joining a “commonwealth” with China and pursuing a “One China” path have drawn significant condemnation from Taiwan. The ministry asserted that Yeo’s comments were “completely inconsistent with the facts, clearly biased, and at odds with the understanding of most democratic countries in the region.” Furthermore, they contended that Yeo’s personal opinions not only fail to contribute to regional peace and stable development but also harm the positive development of Taiwan-U.S.

    US and the west turns out victorious in the BRI. It's propaganda campaign frustrates China's development and links to Central Asia, Southeast Asia to the Mideast. Debt trap was a powerful fear instilled on the participating countries. Sadly these countries will not benefit from the infrastructural development that the west refused or unable to do. Laos, Indonesia and Sri Lanka have reaped the benefits, and probably Vietnam will be next. Mahathir ironically did the US a great favour by frustrating the booming Forest City project and the futuristic Melaka Port project, which could directly affect US interest in the US-friendly Singapore and its port and naval base which US military and naval vessels visit regularly.

    It will not be completely successful because it's too much too soon and too late... the following will affect the objective (1) climate change, (2) there are too many border crossings involving different countries tariffs, (3) those countries which are further their goods will costs more for transportation than those nearer/nearest depending on the made of the goods, (4) there are inconsistent datelines in different countries/continents for the complete circuit of the BRI, (5) there are 5 hotspots in the World for WW3 to erupt spread across the region and spill over. Lastly by the time if it's successfully completed there will be plenty of hiccups caused from the above (1)>(4) and XJP 🇨🇳 wouldn't live to see the day to realize that vision.

All responded, *except China.* - When Sri Lanka tried to import necessities, China *blocked* it because of unpaid debts.
