@@tonglu3699 What you are failing to recognise is the massive speed advantage that rail has over sea. Transporting cargo from China to Europe in half the time - from around a month by sea, down to 14 days by rail. This number will likely drop if China keeps pushing for rail connections and increases technology investment in rail. Cargo ships can transport larger amounts per vessel than trains, but they require a bigger crew and more fuel. Pushing through water is a lot harder than pushing through air, especially when you are far wider, like cargo ships are. The risks for shipping is far higher than rail. Rail can not lose all of its cargo to a freak wave. On top of this, it is relatively easy to electrify rail networks and line those networks with solar panels and wind turbines to get extremely cheap energy, massively reducing the cost to transport goods. The battery technology that would be needed to do this for the scale of shipping does not yet exist. Ultimately, as fuel becomes more expensive and electric becomes far cheaper, it will make more economic sense to transport via rail from China to Europe.

I work in the logistics company in Qazaqstan, and the train shopping from China grows from year to year . Our company is even building another terminal next to Dostyk and Altynkol. Shipping time to Europe through Kazakhstan from China is 2-3 weeks faster than by the sea. Also it includes transhipment at the border since we have different rail roads types with China. The only risks are political and corruption at the border. Otherwise we Kazakhstani people could thrive on this route, as we did many centuries ago . Alga Kazakhstan 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Every time the US complains about infrastructure diplomacy, do they forget their role in the Panama Canal? I’m not even angry they made it because it boosted trade speed for everyone.

​@@patricksweeney5308 Typical American: Always pointing out the wrongdoings of the world, while failing to see the wrongdoing that they propagate themselves. I'm specifically referring to the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty which granted Roosevelt indefinite ownership & development rights for the Canal. I'm also referring to America's backing of Panamanian independence from Colombia, which by today's standards, would be akin to Russia funding Ukrainian separatists to get sea access. The countries of the OBR initiative understand that this is not a charity - It's an opportunity for business, and if they can't pay back an infrastructure initiative that they green-lit, then they should offload that responsibility onto an entity that can. I don't agree with indefinite ownership though, it makes little strategic sense as it will inevitably lead us to foreign entanglements.

@@DixonSimonLee Yes actually I’m glad the world is watching, just like how they watched the horrors of the Vietnam War unfold on live TV during the 60’s, well after 1944. If the colonial era ended, tell me why was America so invested in the reinstatement of French Indochina / the Diem administration that they had to directly intervene? Just because more direct methods of diplomacy were rendered obsolete in the early half of the 20th century did not prevent modern superpowers from packaging those old techniques in new forms & labels. America was a growing superpower and had every right to pursue hegemony in Central America when the opportunity presented itself. The same goes for China amidst its own growth phase. Like I said, I’m glad the world is watching (China too): Just because I am pro-OBR does not necessarily mean I’m pro-China, as I’m aware of my nation’s checkered past, and how avaricious or zealous our politicians can get. The global media, like the creators of this video, have done a decently fair job of appraising the situation - my issue is when nations (and a certain far right demagogue) use the media to twist the OBR into being some evil Death Star-like project, when really it’s just a bunch of roads and ports.

When you think about the historical silk road it was as important as it was because China and India produced goods the west simply couldn't (Silk, Porcelain, Spices). Is there anything nowadays china has to offer besides cheap labor and maybe telecommunication? China don't really has anything to offer besides electronics and diseases. This i mean in the longterm 20 years or so. What do they want to do when salaries have risen and product prices too? Chinese products are bought because they are cheap and unless china becomes a lot more inventive, which is almost next to impossible in a dictatorial regime like the cccp, there simply won't be much to transport along the renewed silk road.

The inability to create a form of communication along with those systems, that offers respect for the cultures it mingles with is the element that seems to inspire conflict. Overcoming the conflict as well as exchanging our pride of production, seems to be something that we could exchange and benefit from? The Belt and Road concept seems to depend on a lot of extractive industry, when we could all use up some Steel Containers as we beat them into useful products instead of simply creating more waste and destruction of Nature. Instead of mining for steel and coal, we could convert the products on the docks of the world into metal products to supply the needs of the world? The economic warfare to keep the Silk Road from flowing peacefully across Ukraine into Europe, is something the IMF appears to be accomplishing as they tease Putin with an American Operation Barbarossa..... I envision that historic crossroads as a display of peaceful demonstrations of how cultures can benefit from learning from each other, instead of another site of Wars as they were when Nazis attempted to wake the Russian Bear. China seems to offer a carrot to Belarus as they count on the route going through Moscow and then into Europe through Belarus..... The US had several shooting wars over rail routes in our wild west, a similar effect of economic warfare, to current battles that now seem to be waged on a world stage...... The Workers suffer and the Capitalists remain safe in their Castles....That seems a bit unfair?

It is more a strategic investment than an economic one. Sea lanes around China are not nly congested they can be easily blockaded (strait of Malacca) by the US navy. The western route is a risk reducing alternative that reduces the economic impact of a naval conflict or blockade on China's trade.

@@jkselama4698 Your point doesn't make much sense. If it were purely economics, then Khorgos would have atleast 1/2 the traffic. The truth is the rail roads are too long, require a large amount of funding, have less capacity than sea ports, are more expensive and need much more co-operation or coersion. The project is certainly more strategic than economical.

I live in Bangladesh, where the USA and EU get most of their apparel manufactured. Workers here work like slaves. They get paid like 80-100 dollars per month, forcing them to work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and no vacation except national and religious holidays, in the name of "overtime working". They have no choice as they have no education nor experience nor help to live a better life. Their work environment and slums are also terrible. They have to live in the lowest work standard in all of Asia! Our government labels it as a part of developing our country when in contrary it is neocolonialism by western companies. We can't do anything in fear of any sanction and trade cancellation which would hit us hard. And when China is building infrastructure projects that would help both China and our country, IMF and World Bank call it "debt-trap", when on the contrary the USA government is suffering from excessive debt themselves.

In the next years most likely Europe will impose high taxes on CO2 emissions, including shipping and air travel, that means, it's likely that trains powered by renewable power will be cheaper than ships powered by dirty bunker fuel, once you account for the emissions. This is 5 head play from China.

But the Marshall plan was at least actually filling a need - Europe was practically bankrupt and her cities in ruins after 6 years of war and desperately needed investment to rebuild. There there is no denying the citizens of recipient nations benefited tremendously from it. Western European nations bounced back much faster and became significantly more prosperous than their Eastern European neighbours. However the same can not be said for belt and road, many projects are of extremely questionable necessity to the recipient country. On the contrary, numerous countries are now saddled with unsustainable levels of Chinese debt for vast white elephant infrastructure that sits dormant.

It's to keep the huge US multinational companies from dying, which, expectedly, needs a lot of money to keep it alive without going too deep into the red, for better or worse. Buybacks.. in the pas years companies did waste their own money doing buybacks, and experts claim that those waste of money are why they can't stay alive without the stimulus, so while the stimulus technically don't pay for current buybacks as companies scale them back, they are in practice paying for past buybacks.

I mean, China's High Speed Rail project has a debt load of $750B at the beginning, and they've been losing money ever since then. You can argue that the massive loss can be subsidized by the government and the economic growth, but let's not kid ourselves that the ticket price that average Chinese pay is no where near the actual cost.

Nope, it's because chinese capitalism (like all capitalism) is dependant on continuous growth. There are plenty of "growth cities" in China that are all ghost towns - their infrastructure development at home is already winding down and to keep the state companies afloat they need to fund these projects in different countries. A little bit of decline caused huge problems financially, in so much as they manipulated their own currency to show investors growth.
