China’s President Xi Jinping convened a summit of some 30 global leaders to discuss what is arguably China’s most ambitious economic project to date: “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR).
Its two main initiatives – the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the Twenty-First Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) – involve billions of dollars’ worth of trade, development and connectivity projects spanning three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. It is no surprise, then, that OBOR is being projected as China’s articulation of a new global order.
