Chinanews.com, Beijing, January 10 (Reporter Kan Feng) 2023 is the 10th anniversary of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" major initiative. Today, this major initiative has become a popular international public product and international cooperation platform.

Recently, relevant experts stated in China News Agency's "East West Questions China Dialogue" that the "Belt and Road" initiative is a Chinese plan for global governance, which has opened up new space for world economic growth and is in line with the pursuit of the interests of the people of the world in the era of globalization.

　　Xing Guangcheng, member of the academic department of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the China Frontier Research Institute, said that for a long time, the Eurasian continent has been "impassable". From the ancient Silk Road to today's "Belt and Road", "interconnection" has always been a problem. The goal pursued by Asian and European countries.

　　"So far, there is no expressway or high-speed railway across Asia and Europe. Is this a technical problem? Obviously not." Xing Guangcheng said that the current "interconnection" has two meanings. One is physical connectivity, such as railways. , highways, networks, oil and gas pipelines, etc.; on the other hand, soft institutional connectivity, such as trade and investment facilitation.

　　Xing Guangcheng said that China's "Belt and Road" initiative has opened up new space for world economic growth and provided a Chinese solution for global governance. "At this time, the United States can't sit still. It keeps decoupling and building dams, deliberately obstructing it from multiple dimensions. "

　　According to Xing Guangcheng's analysis, the United States has made great efforts behind the Ukraine crisis, which objectively has an impact on the Silk Road Economic Belt and the "five links" between Europe and Asia.

At the same time, the U.S. is pulling in small circles to build an Indo-Pacific economic framework at sea, and to create new blocking points on the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road. The United States continues to create new blocking points for Asia and Europe on land and at sea. This strategic intention is very obvious.

　　"'One Belt, One Road' does not exclude the United States, and we hope that the United States will participate, but, 'You will not participate unless you take the lead. If you want to participate, you must take the lead and listen to your words'. This kind of imperial thinking is no longer suitable for the development of the 21st century."

　　Xing Guangcheng said that from the perspective of civilization, behind the actions of the United States is the theory of the superiority of Western civilization. He does not tolerate Eastern civilizations designing innovative cooperation models between the East and the West, especially the models that he believes will challenge their hegemony. Containment in various ways.

　　Ji Kaiyun, director of the Iran Studies Center of Southwest University, analyzed that the “One Belt, One Road” is a Chinese plan for global governance, and its spirit is joint consultation, joint construction, and shared benefits. The pursuit of the interests of the people of the world in the era of globalization.

　　Ji Kaiyun said that after more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China has been deeply integrated into globalization, and at this time the self-interested mentality of the West is highlighted, "You cannot be richer or equal to me, and the benefits of globalization should only belong to me. Therefore, when China becomes the builder and defender of the international order, they would rather not have such an international order."

　　Ji Kaiyun said that in the era of globalization, China cannot be separated from the world, and the world cannot be separated from China. Countries need each other.

"The formation of cliques to clamor to encircle and decouple China shows the narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness of American politicians. The Pacific Ocean is so big that it can fully accommodate the development requirements of the people of China and the United States."
