中国共产党中央书记处书记、国家主席习近平的外交政策议程可以说无异于改写当前的地缘政治格局。他宣布的新丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路提出了一个愿景，其中包括拥有超过40亿人口和世界三分之一财富的国家，以及400亿美元的丝绸之路基金，以及亚洲基础设施投资银行（亚投行）和新开发银行（也称为金砖国家银行）为其提供资金。习近平雄心勃勃的倡议有三个驱动力：(1)能源，(2)安全，(3)市场。就像织布机上的丝线一样，这些驱动因素将编织在一起，形成相互连接的运输走廊和港口设施的结构，从而促进贸易、改善安全并有助于战略渗透。中国的外交政策不再区分海域和西进。总体而言，“一带一路”概念试图将这些利益整合到一个大型外交政策项目中。 “一带一路”倡议是一个灵活的方案，甚至可以扩展到包括过去的项目，因为没有最后期限或明确的参数。中国顶尖学者被招募来庆祝习近平作为中国强国之路的设计者。
Chinese Communist Party Secretary and President Xi Jinping's foreign policy agenda can be characterized as nothing less than rewriting the current geopolitical landscape. His announcement of the New Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road lays out a vision which will include a population of over 4 billion people with one-third of the world's wealth, and a $40 billion dollar Silk Road fund, along with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the New Development Bank, also known as the BRICS bank, to fund it. Xi's ambitious initiative has three drivers: (1) energy, (2) security, (3) markets. Like the silken strands on a loom, these drivers will weave together to create a fabric of interconnected transport corridors and port facilities that will boost trade, improve security, and aid strategic penetration. No longer is there a division in China's foreign policy between either the maritime domain or the March West. The over-arching Belt and Road concept attempts to sew together these interests in one mega-foreign policy project. The Belt and Road initiative is a flexible formula and can even be expanded to include past projects as there are no deadlines or clear parameters. China's leading academics have been recruited to celebrate Xi Jinping as the designer of China's road to being a great power.
