Prospects for One Belt, One Road in 2017.
Significance
The One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative, launched in 2013, consists of Chinese investment in land-based infrastructure linking China with Europe across Central Asia, and in shipping and port infrastructure around South-east Asia and the Indian Ocean rim; both branches also involve development of energy networks. 2017 will be a critical year as some projects near completion and spending on others ramps up sharply.
