Belt and Road Initiative: Chinese Version of Marshall Plan?: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Belt and Road Initiative: Chinese Version of Marshall Plan?" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book views the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a bold and all-encompassing 21st century global effort by China, with unprecedented perspectives. The BRI could be summarised as a revitalization of Chinas ancient land-based and maritime silk roads, but it should be noted that its impact on China and the world stands on the foundation of omnipresent economics and how China transforms its mindset in the 21st century.

Though initiated by China, the BRIs implementation has been a many-to-many effort from the start. This multi-regional and multi-national effort is distinctly different from the one-to-many effort of the Marshall Plan. The two meaning-defining chapters of this book, Omnipresent Economics: The Belt and Road Initiative Underpinning and Supercontinent, Neo-Renaissance and Cultural Communications: The Millennium Mindset Transformations Induced by the Belt and Road Initiative, have made it abundantly clear that the BRI discussions presented are unique.

The discussions of this book could shed new light on the BRI, a long-term and profound initiative by China, which in todays global discussions and debates, are entirely confined to geopolitical and economics arenas.

Preface

Roughly two years ago, DHF and HML, the authors of this book, had one of their first conversations as follows. Without knowing it, that conversation became the underlying meaning of this book:

DHF: How can the United States work with China on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)?

HML: Well, lets think about it. China has kung fu and pandas, but it is the United States that has Kung Fu Panda!

The answer of HML may seem a bit whimsical. However, if one were to carry out a deeper analysis, one could easily recognize that it underlines two fundamentally and extensively discussed aspects of the BRI. The first is the concept of omnipresent economics and second is the millennium mindset transformation of China.

The first is the direct and inevitable outcome of the spectacular technological developments, mobile internet and smart devices, in the last and first decades of the 20th and 21st centuries, respectively. The second is Chinas long-term transition into the modern world, driven by BRI.

First, Kung Fu Panda is a movie. More importantly, it is also a business, whose success ultimately depends on reaching a vast number of viewers. That would require having the right economics. In September and October, 2013, when the BRI was proposed, the technology of the late 20th century, at a tipping point, was making a deep impact on the global economy. That technology is the seamless amalgamation of the ever-improving high-speed mobile internet and smart devices.

Some 40 years ago, the TV series Star Trek attained enormous global popularity simply because it fantasized how objects, humans included, could be transported from one point in space to another point in space, instantaneously. Clearly, the best word to describe such fantasies would be omnipresent!

Fast track to the present day, a palpable example of omnipresence is when in any Chinese metropolitans, when one had a few drinks and should not drive because DUI (driving under the influence) punishment is too severe, one could locate another person within minutes to take over the driving at the point where his/her car is parked. Such a business transition, which can be scaled up easily, is as close to the manifestation of omnipresence as possible. Indeed, the technologies of movable internet and smart devices have improved to the point where they could be operated in unison and nearly in real time! For this reason, we felt that referring to it as omnipresent economics is reasonable.

In of the book, we have the following quote:

In this arena, the US is no longer the leader today. China is. In fact, as far as internet and network payment arenas are concerned, in 2015, Chinas payment reached a whopping US$334 billion, which is three times higher than the US. Furthermore, the market size of this business in China is experiencing double-digit growth.

This statement underlines and defines the omnipresent economics as one of the BRI fundamentals. Many chapters in this book, in one way or another, deals with this aspect of BRI.

Second, as is well known, the martial arts, kung fu, is a profoundly rooted icon of Chinese culture. Panda, on the other hand, is an animal adored by the world and can only be found in south-central China. Yet, Kung Fu Panda is a Hollywood computer-animated action comedy martial arts film. It has successfully and deeply penetrated into the vast Chinese movie market. In a sense, the answer of HML to DHFs question can be thought of as the personification of what BRI is all about: it is when one nation deals with another, to profoundly understand that the populations ways and means of the other party must be placed first and foremost.

In the Han dynasty, the great Chinese explorer Zhang Qian () was bestowed by Baidu (the Chinese equivalent of Google) a great title, The first Chinese who observed the world with open eyes! Such an honor is equivalent to what David Naylor, the former President of the University of Toronto hoped the students from the University of Toronto could achieve: I hope my students would learn to understand the challenges of people of other cultures and ways and means, with their cultures and ways and means!
