The Diplomat published on 11 July 2023 an analysis titled "China's Transition from the Belt and Road to the Global Development Initiative" by Lunting Wu, research associate at the Berlin-based Cluster of Excellence "Contestations of the Liberal Script."
The author argues that China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is being eclipsed and may eventually be replaced by the newer Global Development Initiative (GDI). The author explains the differences between the BRI and GDI and why China has decided to emphasize the latter.
