The Chinese government has announced nearly $900 billion in infrastructure projects as part of its Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) \u2013 an economic, land and maritime trading route which will span 64 countries on three continents. Foreign policy questions continue to dominate the discussion on Beijing\u2019s true intentions and whether the talk of \u2018more-open trade\u2019 can be taken at face value. But to what extent are concerns over China\u2019s foreign policy tendrils justified?<\/p>\n
President Xi Ping\u2019s 2013 announcement, of an almost unprecedented network of infrastructure projects across three continents, to revive the ancient Silk Road trading route and develop a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, was couched in the language of \u2018trade\u2019 and economic \u2018integration\u2019. However, for various reasons over the past years, the foreign policy context has been hard to ignore: On one hand, a westward, land-based \u2018Silk Road\u2019 will extend into Central Asia, Russia\u2019s traditional sphere of influence. On the other, China\u2019s outward looking policymaking is contrasted with the more parochial \u2018America First\u2019 stance of the new Trump administration. Somewhere in the middle is the concern, felt by western European nations, that China is engaging Central and East European (CEE) countries on a new kind of platform that is \u2018neither bilateral nor European\u2019, as argued by Jikkie Verlare and Frans Paul van der Putten of the Netherlands Institute of International Relations. The impact of such a platform could be potentially dividing the cohesion of the European Union\u2019s attitudes toward\u00a0Chinese foreign investment.<\/p>\n
