On Belt and Road to quality development

Some critics claim the Belt and Road Initiative is a much hyped projec t, but without sound field research or in-depth studies. Such critics ignore, deliberately or otherwise, the objective facts. To their disappointment, however, the Belt and Road construction has made great achievements in the past half a dozen years. And the results are there for all to see.

Indeed, the Belt and Road was proposed by China. But it has influenced the world, with the past six years witnessing four major transformations in its construction.

First, the cooperation philosophy has transformed from a national proposal to a global consensus. As of now, 136 countries and 30 international organizations have signed 195 cooperation agreements with China, and the initiative and its core concepts have been included in United Nations, G20, APEC and other multilateral organizations' documents.
