Ask China: Is China's rise a threat to the world?
Do you think China is a threat to the world? Western scholars and media have said "yes" to the question, as they track China's rise as a global power in world economy and international affairs. In 2018, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said China "has chosen economic aggression" and has in turn "emboldened its growing military.” Netizens also expressed their concern online, as they see China as a threat in two main areas: its economic influence and its expanding military power.

William Jones: The BRI promotes the dialogue of cultures
Much has been written recently in the Western media about China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Numerous Western think-tanks have devoted units of their establishments to study the BRI. And even many of those individuals and institutions that have taken a positive view of the project (and many have not), there is still an undertone of suspicion that somehow, for all the good it has achieved, it is still motivated primarily by Chinese political interests and should, therefore, be approached cautiously.

Liu Zongyi: The belt and road initiative and the us “INDO-PACIFIC” strategy
The BRI is mainly a geo-economic initiative, but there are many ongoing debates on its geo-economic and geostrategic implications. One can observe the geo-economic aspects of the initiative in the report delivered at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October 2017, from which we understand that the BRI has implications that will affect not only the region but global dynamics as well. On a smaller scale, the BRI is one of the concrete measures to balance regional development together with the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Yangtze Economic Belt. On a larger scale, the BRI paves the way in opening China further to the world through trade routes running eastward and westward, across land and overseas.
