Prosjektet ”One Belt One Road” er blitt et populært begrep i Kina etter at President Xi lanserte den 2 for knapt to år siden. Artikkelen under beskriver hva som ligger i begrepet og er skrevet av Julie Borselius ved Hong Kong Trade Development Council’s Stockholmskontor.

The Belt and Road Initiative (also called One Belt, One Road) was first introduced in 2013 by the Chinese president Xi Jinping. The initiative includes the Silk Road Economic Belt (the land routes) and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (the sea routes). When it was first brought to the public, it was viewed as abstract and ambitious and triggered a lot of doubts and uncertainties from the West.

After 3 years, more concrete action projects have been planned and more bi-lateral and multi-lateral agreement have been signed between countries in the regions. The motive of China is still under discussion but what it cannot be ignored is the economic benefit it will bring to the regions.
