This chapter reviews how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is evolving. It begins with a discussion of the historical, economic, and geopolitical contexts in which the initiative was rolled out by Beijing in 2013. Through the BRI, China seeks to expand its diplomatic manoeuvring space, reclaim its past glory, provide infrastructure finance to neighbouring countries, and revive its slowing economy. By discussing, among others, the scope and the coordination financing mechanisms of the BRI, this chapter explains how the initiative is being implemented by the Chinese government. The broader trade and investment relations between China and three Asian sub-regions of interest, namely, East and Southeast Asia, South Asia and Central Asia are provided. The major achievements of the BRI to date are also highlighted. The chapter concludes with an overview of the structure of the book.
