In this episode of “Diplomacy Talk,“ Stephen Brawer, chairman of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden, offers insightful perspectives on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). He elaborates on its historic importance, global impact, and potential benefits, particularly its role in infrastructure development and poverty alleviation. Brawer, also distinguished professor at the Guangdong Institute for International Strategies, urges European nations to consider the advantages of joining the BRI, critiquing Western efforts in making similar but hollow proposals, such as the G7's “Build Back Better World.“ He also debunks misconceptions about China in the West, like the notion of the BRI as a “debt trap.“
