Notes

  1. 1.

    McKinsey Global Institute (July 2019) and OECD (April 2019).

  2. 2.

    Chose examination of the Silk Road project, often presented as a “historical opportunity”, shows, for sceptics both at home and abroad, an exaggerated potential. It is an excuse for a wasteful spending. It is a project with 5 vague objectives: policy coordination, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration and people-to-people contacts (over six distinct “economic corridors”).

    The BRI is less a coherent scheme involving a clear list of projects than a series of wide-ranging policy aims. Many of the projects now included under its banner have been planned for years (Miller, 2019).
