Research On National Infrastructure Construction And Investment Along The Road

With the top-level design document issued, “The Belt and Road” initiative is now in the implementation phase, while the infrastructure interconnectivity is the strategic priority to make a breakthrough. On the basis of traditional political and economic spheres, this paper studied respectively the present situation of infrastructure and investment and financing of countries along “The Belt and Road”, and found that the state of infrastructure in transportation, energy,communications and other areas of all those countries are generally poor. Meanwhile, due to lack of public funds, those countries have strong demands for foreign investment in infrastructure. By taking full advantages in capital, industrial capacity, labor and others, alone with financial instrument, China participates actively in infrastructure construction in those countries, which can effectively promote the implementation of the overall strategy, deepen the development of interconnectivity, and bring win-win outcomes to all the participating countries. Meanwhile, China also faces many dominant and hidden risks in participation of those countries’ infrastructure construction, such as geopolitical risks, interior security risks, management risks, currency exchange rate risks, environmental and ecological risks, etc. China will ensure the realization of expected goals through establishing cooperative concepts and effective coordination and safeguard mechanisms, and through taking various measures, such as making focus on national priorities of infrastructure projects and promoting Chinese standards, to avoid all possible risks.
