Chinese President Xi Jinping during a videoconference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in December 2022. As the architect of the Belt and Road Initiative, his leadership now navigates the project through a period of re-evaluation and increasing global scrutiny. Attribution: Presidential Executive Office of Russia / Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 A few years ago, China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was making headlines everywhere. It was huge. Trillions of dollars. Dozens of countries. Roads, railways, ports, and pipelines from Asia to Africa, Europe, and beyond. China called it a win-win for global development.
