This article discusses and assesses China’s “One Belt, One Road” Initiative and how China will use it in the future. It is a strategy started by President Xi Jinping and it is mostly aimed towards an economic endeavor. The OBOR is simply China buying billions of dollars of infrastructure along the Silk Road; linking them with Europe. It is considered to be the largest economic and military initiative of the modern era. It is driven by rather aggressive patriotism and is unpredictable. This strategy could be a threat to the United States' interests as the US is questioning it's involvement in several trade regimes. The economic enterprise is said to have some suggestions of imperialism because China seems to be on a mission to slowly take over Europe and the Silk Road. This article relates and ties together information from our Foundations Unit because it discusses an example of possible future imperialism with China and their One Belt, One Road strategy.
