Since 2013, China has trumpeted the development of transportation and communication ties between itself, the rest of Asia, and Europe as a strategic component of its foreign and domestic economic policies. Inspired by the old pathways between China and Europe, the "One Belt, One Road” initiative jointly refers to the “Silk Road Economic Belt” and the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road.” If successful, these efforts could reshape Asia, China's own economy, and China's relationship with the region, Europe, and the United States. To explore these issues, CSIS will host a discussion featuring leading experts on Chinese foreign policy, Zhao Kejin from the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy and Yves Tiberghien from the University of British Columbia. The Freeman Chair's Christopher K. Johnson will also serve as host and offer his own commentary.
