Belt and Road FAQ

Are regional integration and free trade zones the goal of the Belt and Road Initiative?

May 13, 2017


Abstract : China is not pushing for regional integration via the Belt and Road platform.

Not necessarily. China is not pushing for regional integration via the Belt and Road (B&R) platform. Sometimes, the signing of a memorandum of understanding is enough to kick-start a major project or investment.

After all, the Belt and Road is not another Trans-Pacific Partnership or Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Both were designed as trade agreements, while trade was just one part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
