COLIN MACKERRAS<\/a> |<\/p>\n

At a time when globalisation from the West appears to be in retreat, the Belt and Road Initiative is a potent symbol of the rise of China-based globalisation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The BRI, part of Xi Jinping\u2019s \u2018China dream\u2019 to \u2018revitalise the Chinese nation\u2019, is a two-fold project. The Chinese President articulated the Silk Road Economic Belt in the Kazakhstan capital, Astana, in September 2013, then followed it up the next month by announcing the Maritime Silk Road in the parliament of Indonesia.<\/p>\n

Collectively, it was known as \u2018one belt, one road\u2019 but the OBOR is usually referred to now as BRI. A belt to link the great Eurasian continent with overland railways, highways, pipelines and other infrastructure, and a road to link China with Southeast Asia, South Asia and even Africa through ports and other maritime linkages.<\/p>\n

BRI in scale and scope<\/h3>\n

\u2018Stretching from the South China Sea across the Eurasian land mass, it is arguably the most ambitious development plan ever conceived,\u2019 a key\u00a0book-length study<\/a>\u00a0observes.<\/p>\n

The primary aim is economic. Late in 2014, the Chinese government set up the New Silk Road Fund and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to promote infrastructure that would support the trade and other economic linkages it involved.<\/p>\n

At around the same time, a railway line linking Yiwu, a county-level city in Zhejiang Province, with the Spanish capital, Madrid, had begun operations.<\/p>\n

Another major development is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. This includes the link between Kashgar in China\u2019s north-west with the deep-water port of Gwadar in Baluchistan, Pakistan.<\/p>\n

The BRI comes at a time when divisions in the world are getting more intense. Diverse nationalisms with the potential for serious conflict are becoming more marked. Economic globalisation and free-trade once seemed so eminently desirable that few dared go against it, yet there is now less consensus about the benefits.\u00a0It<\/a>\u00a0is noted that \u2018sizable constituencies have voted in country after country for anti-free-trade policies.\u2019<\/p>\n
