China and the G7: B3W vs BRI

Panda Paw Dragon Claw published on 29 June 2021 a roundtable discussion titled "Will the G7's B3W Initiative Change the Game of Global Infrastructure Development?

It consists of four commentaries, including mine, that look at the G-7's Build Back Better World (B3W) Initiative and China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from different perspectives.  

The Diplomat published on 22 June 2021 a commentary titled "B3W: Building an Alternative to the BRI or Falling Into the Same Trap?" by Francesca Ghiretti, King's College London.

The author argues that the BRI has not measured up to its high expectations and suggests this is a lesson the G-7 would do well to learn.
