On this week's pod we take a look at the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). With reports of economic trouble for many nations participating in China's BRI infrastructure project, we wanted to look at whether the BRI is really beneficial to the developing nations participating. We discuss what the BRI is and its benefits as well as the economic and geopolitical consequences. Are developing nations falling under a debt trap? Is the BRI the future of global trade? How do western nations feel about the BRI? We discuss all this and more so tune in to hear our thoughts!
