Free AccessMNI EXCLUSIVE:Firms, Regions, Could Join China's Belt And Road
By Iris Ouyang
BEIJING (MNI) - China could encourage companies and regional
administrations to sign up for its Belt and Road infrastructure project if
national governments prove reluctant, Chinese experts told MNI.
The Australian state of Victoria entered a Belt and Road Initiative
Memorandum of Understanding with Beijing last year, aiming to boost trade and
create jobs, noted Leung Hoi Ming, chairman of China Silk Road iValley Research
Institute, a think tank. This came despite reluctance from Australia's federal
government.
While until recently whole countries have signed up for Belt and Road, with
Italy a recent high-profile example, Victoria's lead shows China can be
flexible, Leung said.
"We can be creative on Europe," he said, adding how low Chinese production
costs could enhance European products and technology. If companies or regions
join Belt and Road, others could follow, including whole countries, once they
see the benefits.
Chen Wenling, chief economist at the China Center for International
Economic Exchanges, a think tank managed by the National Development and Reform
Commission, agreed that corporations could take a greater role in Belt and Road.
The Belt and Road Initiative, a brainchild of President Xi Jinping, was
launched in 2013 and aims to expand trade routes through large-scale transport
infrastructure projects spanning Eurasia and crossing into the Middle East and
Africa. The U.S. government has criticised the scheme as a tool to expand
China's global influence, which could fuel unsustainable debts in some
countries. But Chen, a former director of the Research Office of the State
Council, told MNI on the sidelines of the Second Belt and Road Forum in Beijing,
that China will increase monitoring and risk control of Belt and Road projects.
