Belt, Road opens door to broader global reach

With more than four years of development, the Belt and Road Initiative has provided a broader stage for Chinese enterprises and China's Industrial parks to go global, researchers said.

The Belt and Road Initiative has proved to be driving regional connectivity and cooperation in the current global business setting, said Zeng Gang, director of the Institute of Urban and Regional Planning and Institute of Urban Development under the East China Normal University.

Zeng said China has integrated its resources, policies and market to connect with the world overseas under the initiative, while contributing billions in taxes and creating millions of jobs in host countries.
