Abstract
China’s highly touted development strategy, the “Belt and Road” initiative, is based on the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the parallel Maritime Silk Road (MSR). It is not only propping up China’s investments in the Eurasia region, but also its economic ties with several countries. The strategic framework, as proposed by China’s central government, provides China with important benefits that are helping the country seek and expand its role in a global setting.
