A symphony for all to play

Increasing attention is being paid to the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative both at home and overseas, and there is a growing consensus that it should be a symphony played by all participants rather than a solo played by China alone.

Since it was first proposed three years ago, China has consistently made clear its open approach toward the Belt and Road Initiative, insisting it is open to all countries.

Given that the initiative is aimed at promoting political trust, economic cooperation and cultural exchanges along the two routes, it is meant to achieve shared prosperity and development.
