In an appearance on Durham University and 3Sixty Strategic Advisors’ “BRI Dialogue,” Min Ye<\/a>, Associate Professor of International Relations at Boston University\u2019s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, discusses China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and offers her assessment of the policy ahead of its 10 year anniversary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the program, Ye discusses the genesis, evolution, and future of the BRI past its 10th anniversary in 2023. According to Ye, BRI achieved its initial driver to cohere China’s political actors to foster a more robust domestic and international strategy meaning it will be well worth celebrating next year at its tenth anniversary. She notes that it is important to separate China’s BRI from the country’s foreign policy and its geopolitical relationship with advanced democracies; while the policy has become well known globally and an integral part of the global economy, Ye argues that it is not the sole cause of China’s increased influence and more attention needs to be placed on China’s national rise separate from BRI. <\/span><\/p>\n
