For seventy years after WW2 the west had their chance to help third world countries to develop. However, they were instead being suppressed, bombed, controlled by the west. Now the opportunity has come with the BRI to bring prosperity and lift millions out of poverty, .

we will look forward to welcome Chinese friends in Iran.
Lets revive the silk road again together.

Great Documentary, thanks for visiting Kyrgyzstan - the most open and beautiful country of Central Asia. Hopefully BRI will take off and Kyrgyz people representing IT industry, like myself, are ready to make their own contribution. We, at Kyrgyzstan only wish success to our great neighbor Zhongguo!

Full.of emotions gained from and through watching this. Dr.May yi Shaw narratives are explicit..

I love this. China and the BRI will bring massive progress to many Asian countries. The future for Asia is bright and I hope and believe that this will benefit the world during the next few decades.

Even if the BRI project partially succeeds, it is a good opportunity for all countries involved.

[Buckzoo]

This is lot more realistic way to report BRI than most sensational western media. This episode is about ‘hope’ in BRI. Hope to see an episode on ‘risk’ of BRI and one on ‘geopolitical’ implications from the same Professor.

Regardless how some countries interpreted China ambitions China has been influential and beneficial to global economy in many ways. They are not stopping regardless how hard the US tried to contain them and put any effort to influence the world how bad China is, China marches on without threatening anybody with military might instead China threw in billions of dollars to create this initiative to create prosperity and opportunities for its neighbouring countries. That is impressive. The world needs to look at China in a positive way and join hands to create a better, a more peaceful and cooperative environment for the world.

Yayyyy that’s my university HKUST! and about belt and road project i would say its an opportunity for every country to grow by being part of it rather than just hating on it, and some are saying China is conquering others, so what? Compete if you can or get your share from it, at least they are not trying to conquer by force or killing innocents like others. Doing business in peace ✌🏼

I found this documentary informative, perspective and objective. Indeed China has a vibrant economic initiative in the BRI that could take human ingenuity and economic pluralism to another level. Kudos to the wonderful people behind this project.

All I can say is bye bye America winning a war is not only about big guns and bullets.

[TheArtofWarChina]

The new silk road is a new way to expand China's export business. Currently US is the biggest importer of China's export goods, therefore it would be hard to deviate itself from the US dollars but with the new silk road, China is trying to expand it's clienteles away from the US market. Once it is developed, China will move away from the petro-dollar, which will be the final days of the US printing press. US will file bankruptcy so fast, the americans won't even know what hit them.

We ethiopians stand with China for the brighter future of the world

[Diwana]

Great documentary. Anthony Morse - your conclusions are very true. From a China Studies person - I too agree that Sino-Russian Relations are much more than the usual interstate interactions of hard power or soft power - there is an emotional aspect to it.

[mustafagenius]

Please stop compering Silk road to Marshall plan, , belt and road initiative is hundred times bigger than Marshall plan which only focused few countries including Germany, France after world war 2

[vkninedragon]

I think central Asia benefit the most from one belt-one-road because central Asia is pretty much in the center of everything in turn of distance.

She asked about building a city in the middle of nowhere in a desert and how smart that was. I guess she has never been to Las Vegas!

[kobebrian]

Chinese people are friendly and peaceful, period
