Why China has tightened its belt and road
Manage episode 443086764 series 58
Gone are the grandiose infrastructure projects, replaced by an emphasis on smaller development opportunities. China's Belt and Road initiative has entered its second decade — and it's changing. It now also includes a determined focus on green technology. But is the recalibration a sign of the project's overall success? Or a scaling back because of China's growing economic problems? And what has Beijing learnt about debt-levels and governance?
Guests
Professor Christoph Nedopil – Director of Asia Institute, Griffith University
Associate Professor Chong Ja Ian – Political Science, National University of Singapore
Associate Professor Jessica Liao – Political Science, North Carolina State University
