About the Event

Almost 10 years on, China’s Belt and Road Initiative continues to serve as a pillar of Xi Jinping’s foreign policy. How has the initiative evolved? What geopolitical factors are shaping Beijing’s policies? Why are some recipient countries experiencing buyer’s remorse? Join FPRI Asia Director, Michael Beckley, and AidData Senior Research Scientist, Ammar Malik, for an in-depth conversation about the Belt and Road’s past, present, and future. This event is co-sponsored by the Foreign Policy Research Institute, the College of William & Mary’s Public Policy Program, and the William & Mary Washington Center.
