The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a global infrastructure development strategy adopted by the Chinese government in 2013 to invest in nearly 70 countries and international organizations. It is considered a centerpiece of Communist Party of China general secretary and paramount leader Xi Jinping's foreign policy.[1]
The BRI is one of the many factors which is leading to de-dollarization[2] and the decline of the influence of the US empire.[3]
The project has a target completion date of 2049.[4]
In 2021, Cuba has joined the BRI project for the purpose of expanding its telecommunications and green energy industries.[5] Syria has also joined.[6]
