| Sumario: | The promotion of the New Silk Road began in 2013
by the Chinese President Xi Jinping when he
presented the “One Belt, One Road” project with
the clear aim of increasing infrastructure
connections (railways, roads, ports, gas pipelines,
oil pipelines, etc.) and trade between the People's
Republic and the rest of the Eurasian continent and
Africa. The OBOR, now renamed Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI), constitutes the pillar of Chinese
foreign policy, on the basis of which the Chinese
government intends to build a future world order
that will have its reference pole in the People's
Republic of China. A global transport network is
turning into a cooperation network between China
and the countries involved. The largest post-war
infrastructure investment plan was met with
controversial judgments; they range from the
"pivot of contemporary relations", the engine of a
new globalization, the Chinese solution to world
problems, the Chinese Marshall Plan, up to a
"political-financial error", a pretentious plan. In
short, the great Chinese geopolitical strategy has
not gone unnoticed.
Inevitably the breadth, the complexity and the
singularity of this project have favoured the
confusion and the controversy. Free trade treaty,
investment program, cooperation platform or even
multilateral organizations also embody a strategy
within the dimension, framework and flexibility
described by numerous actors in the world. |
