Did you know the Silk Road is back? No, not the dark web marketplace—China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a colossal infrastructure project spanning over 140 countries and impacting 60% of the global population. 

In this episode of Second Glance, we dive into what many call the largest infrastructure endeavor in human history. Joined by T.J. Sutphin, an international studies expert and BRI enthusiast, we explore the geopolitical, economic, and social implications of this modern Silk Road. From its potential to reshape global trade to concerns about debt traps and environmental impact, we examine why the BRI matters—not just for participating nations, but for the future of global power dynamics.
