Why China has tightened its belt and road

from Future Tense · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Gone are the grandiose infrastructure projects, replaced by an emphasis on smaller development opportunities. China's Belt and Road initiative has entered its second decade — and it's changing. It now also includes a determined focus on green technology. But is the recalibration a sign of the project's overall success? Or a scaling back because of China's growing economic problems? And what has Beijing learnt about debt-levels and governance?GuestsProfessor Christoph Nedopil – Director of Asia Institute, Griffith UniversityAssociate Professor Chong Ja Ian – Political Science, National University of SingaporeAssociate Professor Jessica Liao – Political Science, North Carolina State University
