Belt and Road a path to clean governance

Although the international community acknowledges the Belt and Road Initiative has been yielding tangible results, some say there is widespread corruption in Belt and Road projects, claiming Chinese-funded enterprises are the main exporters of corruption.

Such remarks, since they are not based on facts, reveal the ill intentions of the gainsayers.

President Xi Jinping, speaking at the first Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in 2017, emphasized that international cooperation to fight corruption must be strengthened to make the Belt and Road a road to clean governance. His statement was a solemn promise on behalf of the Chinese government to the world that China remains committed to combating corruption in Belt and Road projects. Also, much progress has been made in deepening overall cooperation to fight corruption since the Belt and Road Initiative was proposed in 2013.
