A New Focus

After dedicating more than a decade to expensive infrastructure projects around the world, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is shifting to projects in service sectors including environment, tourism, sport and digital technology.

“The BRI is already in its 12th year. It has always been one of the most important national strategies. In the beginning of the BRI, China tried to build railway, ports and other infrastructure,” says Herman Hu, a Hong Kong deputy of the National People’s Congress (NPC), China's parliament. “China believes it is time we move to a new era. From now on we are going to help BRI countries to develop the environment, green initiatives and their digital infrastructure.”

Since the launch of the BRI in 2013, the total spending on this mega-project has surpassed US$1 trillion, with more than 150 countries having signed BRI agreements with China, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). Many of primarily infrastructure projects were built by Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and funded by Chinese state-owned banks, and can be found in Central Asia, Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

imageChinese Prime Minister Li Qiang’s work report delivered at the NPC in Beijing in March said, “We will strive for solid progress in pursuing high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.

EDITOR'S PICK

The Joséphine Valse Impériale gets straight to business with a 16.30-carat Ceylon padparadscha sapphire, the kind of peachy-pink rarity that auction houses fight over. Five accompanying pear-shaped diamonds, ranging from 0.70 to 1 carat each, provide the supporting cast, with additional brilliant and pear cuts filling out the composition, while white gold keeps things clean. It's serious jewellery for serious collectors, built around a gem that doesn't need introduction.
