China's Belt And Road Initiative: 10 Years Of Evolution And Beyond | Insight | Full Episode

[@siewwahleong93]

It’s amazing that China has leaders who can think and plan long term for huge world-wide projects like the Belt and Road Initiative. And, then, promptly, take the first step ten years ago, on the long and arduous journey to connect China to so many countries in the world. And for its skilled engineers, technicians and workers to work so hard and determinedly to achieve the nation’s goal. The foresight and dedication of its leaders and the unity of their vision is so important. While those of some countries may be preoccupied with greed to make billions in profits or to gain control of the resources of other countries through military wars, China unceasingly focusses on its goals, building infrastructures, ports, airports, cities, hospitals, schools, etc. improving life and connectivity around the world. I’m proud of China and the Chinese people for what they have achieved in just a few short decades and admire the dedication and clarity of vision of their leaders.

The battle between words vs results, Compares to Asian counterpart, Asian is known to be quiet and contented, yet quietly helping and producing prosperity. In Indonesia we have proverbs "Empty can makes the loudest sound", "Like paddy, the more it produces it's rice, the more humble/quiet and lower it's posture". I guess those truly explained it and so does "Silent is golden".

Well, to be fair. You gotta have bite if you’re going to bark. Indonesia never had bites. China thinks they have bite and now do you see how they are acting? No one is stopping anyone from talking loud or barking or saying anything (take Kim un), however, people taking what you’re saying seriously or not is a different question.

[@the0neObserver]

@@TheKingCac That is exactly the opposite of many Asian's view/mindset, if you grow big and strong like an elephant, would a dog's bark and bite matter? Biting/invading another country like iraq, vietnam, afghan etc will never make them ceased to exist, only delaying the inevitable while the one that bites loses it's effectiveness aka toothless. That is the reality now. I have never met anyone especially asian with that kind of mindset to bite other countries, only colonialism. Believe it or not, in the US politics, we all bark and bite internally, we make fake news, over exaggeration of silly things. Thanks to our perfect/balance democratic system, not one high speed train/own space station is going to happen or a notion that everyone deserves food/shelter/equality, bcoz that equals socialism/communism. Teaching our kids that lying is the only way to win everything even a presidency (trump, g santos, boebert and many more). In the end our children, family even our future will only be a lie or liars.Don't hold your breath to see any bite from Indonesia, it's useless.

BRI is far from perfect but where is the West during the difficult years when they are abandoned by the developed world. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

[@thewaterbearer16]

What a weak argument. The trading economic fact is that Western built infrastructure and supplies are not going to be cheap for Africans due to currency exchange value and expertise/manpower cost difference. The Africans aren’t going to take costlier Western pricing. Would anyone wanna invest in something that you couldn’t make profit? Some would reply and say China would - yes, if China could not take the profit, it’s State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) taking over the built infrastructure’s ownership. Also, China also packaged cheap loans on top of those infrastructure projects - in a certain sense, it was an open bribery. The Western countries aren’t going to do the same because it is against their own domestic laws.

But hey, they're still the good guys because, you know, everything done in the name of democracy is never wrong. Meanwhile China is accused of occupying Tibet which was unified with China during the Yuan Dynasty (1244 to 1354). China is also accused of trying to occupy the Spratly islands when records showed that Chinese have fished or lived there since 200 BC. Hong Kong is undoubtedly Chinese territory and so is Taiwan. All these would never have been separated from China without Western exploitations. But China is communists, so them trying to take back their land is undoubtedly evil.

I am an engineer, so facts, information, understanding of every factors that contribute to issues and problems and can be solved. There are man made dams as well as dams made by nature thru landslides etc... Time, habitat and nature will evolve when there are changes to the landscape, also as in life everything comes with a price, it is not a zero sum game. It will do well to understand population increase, over-fishing and also how dams flows are regulated and balance to its impact downstream is always a problem and can be fix by making catchment areas in such areas to hold water incase of upstream being restricted or cut off. The key question that should be ask is there political will and economic muscle to solve such problems. U build a dam u get almost free electricity for the people and u dont expect negatives is plain naive.

I was in Xinjiang last month. Urumqi is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the city that holds the record of being the city remotest from the sea in the world. We had a couple of nights of seafood thinking the fish and crabs come from as far as southern China, but NO. Xinjiang has a thriving fishery industry with fish farms in many lakes, including the spectacular Sayram Lake. With a population of 24 million, Xinjiang is able to supply fish to nearby provinces like Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia. Westerners worry about eco. They should go to the Qinghai Tibet plateau to see for themselves how China is doing things there. To the poorer Cambodians and Laotians, having access to cheap electricity is important. Not having power outages is also a luxury for them. Who cares about the fish now? With more technology, fish can be farmed in a new environment for food. Even hybrid rice can be grown. These villagers want a better life and with good infrastructure, their lives will get better with jobs and business opportunities. They don't want to stay poor. The West does not think about this and that is why China is ahead of them cultivating friends from ASEAN to Central Asia and South America to Africa.

But the silent China's Belt and Road initiative continues to this day. It can be seen reflected in small African, Central, South and southeast Asian countries, not with big fanfare. Countries with a long-term strategy are comfortable implementing such initiatives. China's greatest success is due to having that strategy. Their policies don't change, and if they do, then countries that depend on China will depend on them again. But in democracies, successive governments have different policies. Therefore, those policies will not be stable.

Balanced? All the talk yet again accusing china of debt-trap diplomacy and zero mention of actual debt-traps that's been going on from western entities like the "World Bank" and IMF for many decades. It tries to sound balanced with "it's not really that bad" but the spin from western media's "China Bad" stance is still clearly there. Modern China started helping Africa since the 60s militarily and economically from the 70s. It's not a recent thing and not only due to the BRI. There's a lack of insight to the history of cooperation by not considering factors outside of the scope of the BRI, ignoring it made the video accusing China of doing everything because of the BRI which is not true.

If, on the other hand, his earnings are to support a wife, three chilldren and 3 siblings in California, USA, then it would be an insane amount he has to earn due to the very high Cost Of Living there where inflation is running rampant.
