A critical look at new technologies, new approaches and new ways of thinking, from politics to media to environmental sustainability.
Gone are the grandiose infrastructure projects, replaced by an emphasis on smaller development opportunities. China’s Belt and Road initiative has entered its second decade — and it’s changing. It now also includes a determined focus on green technology. But is the recalibration a sign of the project’s overall success? Or a scaling back because of China’s growing economic problems? And what has Beijing learnt about debt-levels and governance?
