China's Belt and Road Initiative

This could be done much, much more efficiently if only we had the necessary economic and communications infrastructure in place first, to enable very large scale multinational cooperation. The initiative should have concentrated on education and developing sound governance in member states before signing contracts for financing and construction of massive civil engineering projects.


It's not too late to do this. I would very much appreciate some positive help from the Chinese government. Maybe some of the representatives of these 37 countries currently in Beijing could support my case for being allowed the right to communicate my ideas on this matter?


As it stands, China's Belt and Road initiative is actually undermining the sovereignty of the participating nations, which is unacceptable.

I was hoping to make contact with this company, but Yu, the person with whom I spoke here in Cochabamba before christmas last year, disappeared after a thunderstorm, and I haven't heard from him since.


Steve Bannon thinks the Chinese economy is  being run by Wall St. and "corporate America". It certainly looks that way. But Bannon also refers to Japan and South Korea as "the industrial democracy" and (at 33 secs) talks about China forcing the United States out of the Western Pacific, and then out of the Pacific overall, and eventually off the Eurasian landmass. Well, the United States is the United States of America, not the United States of America and the Asian Pacific! South Korea and Japan have been suffering "defecits of Sovereignty" for three quarters of a century now. Calling them "the industrial democracy", does not change that, it is just downright hipocritical!


The only reason to build roads and rail links is to move vast quantities of goods from one country to another. Why does China need to be the owner of a rail link from, say, Italy to France?


To see why this is a problem, think about how Italy can deal with this problem.
