Pushback and ‘BRI indigestion’
The pushback is taking place not only in cash-strapped nations such as Sierra Leone, the Maldives and Pakistan, where a Chinese-financed “Silk Road” rail project was recently cut by $2 billion, but in the United States.
Just over a week ago, US President Donald Trump signed a bill that created an aid agency that is understood to be largely focused on countering China “dollar diplomacy.”
The newly formed United States International Development Finance Corporation will, the New York Times reported, have “authority to provide $60 billion in loans, loan guarantees and insurance to companies willing to do business in developing nations.”
For Trump, the move is a significant reversal, as the Council on Foreign Relations points out, remarking: “It looks as though concern about China’s growing influence in developing countries has been the driver of the administration’s new embrace of development assistance and soft power.”
Speaking to the Voice of America, Oh Ei Sun, of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, recently referred to continuing cancellations and the ever-shifting landscape of Chinese global investment as a case of “Belt and Road indigestion.”
Many projects will be canceled, many will be stalled, but many others will go regardless. However, he also noted, that will only be the case when the China model of “roll it out and economic growth will follow” fits local conditions.
Looking ahead, the challenge for China is finding such ideal conditions. If it does not, the BRI could end up lost in a world of tightened belts and meandering roads. This, in turn, would leave China relatively isolated as a geopolitical power.
