Anti-China bias of some Western politicians laid bare by Belt and Road

THE FINANCIAL TIMES has reported that quite a few Western banks and financial agencies show increasing enthusiasm for the Belt and Road Initiative, seeking to secure projects related to the initiative. Xinhua News Agency comments:

The huge input and large scale of the initiative's infrastructure projects mean the prospects of profits are predictable in the long run. Astute Western banks and institutional investors will not let the opportunities slip through their fingers easily.

As one of the initiative's five connectivity objectives - connectivity of policy, infrastructure, trade, finance and people - the connectivity of finance welcomes the participation of Western financial institutions and the commercialization of the initiative's projects, as they will add vitality to the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and help realize win-win outcomes.
