Reviews

"The Belt and Road Initiative is a great effort for building a community committed to the common good for humanity. The Initiative will also aid the recovery of the global economy, helping to generate greater prosperity and creating win-win situations. In reading this book, one can begin to see the independent economic logic of the Belt and Road Initiative." —Lin Yifu, Honorary Dean of the National Institute of Development, Peking University

"The Belt and Road Initiative, a new model for international business cooperation, creates an intrinsic dividend that can be shared through international cooperation." —Xue Litai, Research Scientist, CISAC, Stanford University

“From a unique perspective, the book offers a study of the economic logic inherent in the Belt and Road strategy. This volume proposes that not only is the policy of gaining the Belt and Road Initiative’s dividend through the opening up and cooperation of great theoretical significance for promoting the development of the socialist political economics, but of practical value for the great mission of building the Belt and Road.” —Professor Liu Wei, President of Renmin University of China
