Through the BRI, China intends to engage in the global
economy mainly through investments in infrastructure.
Five major goals of the BRI are: policy coordination;
infrastructure connectivity; unimpeded trade; financial
integration; and people-to-people collaboration.
China plans to rebuild the land network connecting China
to Europe via Central Asia ('One Belt') and the maritime
route from China to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle
East and Eastern Africa ('One Road').
By the end of July 2019, 136 countries and 30 international
organisations had signed 194 cooperation documents with
China to build a "Belt and Road” cooperation document.
