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 Xi Jinping's foreign policy.[1]
The BRI is one of the many factors which is leading to de-dollarization[2] the decline of the influence of the US empire,[3] and enhanced economic growth of non-aligned countries.
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]
Reactions
The BRI has been demonized by Western bourgeois media on the basis that it's a "debt trap"[7] or an example of so-called "Chinese imperialism," but these claims serve only propaganda purposes and are not founded in evidence.[8][9][10]
