Belt And Road Initiative | Vibepedia

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a global development strategy proposed by China to connect Eurasia and other regions through infrastructure projects, promoting economic cooperation and exchange. Launched in 2013 by Chinese President Xi Jinping, the BRI aims to create a network of trade routes, highways, railways, and sea routes, reminiscent of the ancient Silk Road. The initiative involves over 130 countries, including Russia, India, and many European nations, and has sparked both interest and concern globally, with some viewing it as a means to promote economic growth and others as a tool for Chinese geopolitical expansion.
