#1 The Belt and Road Initiative is a project of the century that China is undertaking, which aims to deepen trade, investment, policy coordination, and even cultural ties beyond its borders.

#2 The BRI is a bold policy that has been compared to xieyi, a traditional Chinese painting style that uses broad brush-strokes to capture emotions rather than minute details. It is evading classification.

#3 Some feel that the Belt and Road Initiative is a gift horse, a beast of burden, or a golden goose. Others feel that it is a trojan horse, as it will bring much needed infrastructure to developing countries, but will also be used to expand China’s sphere of influence.

#4 The BRI is a global initiative, but its details depend on local context. Some projects help development, others serve China’s strategic aims, and others do both.
