In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the strategic concept of building a “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Maritime Silk Road”, currently referred to as the “One Belt and One Road” (OBOR, hereafter) initiatives. OBOR, likely to remain one of most fundamental and strategic blueprints of China’s leaderships until 2022 or beyond, is not merely an international trade strategy, but also aims to help China to deepen its economic structure, to deal with the serious overcapacities in low-value-added export sectors, and to reshape China’s status in the global economic and political orders. The OBOR strategy will include more than 60 countries in Eurasian and African continents.
