Tyler Bonin (@tylermbonin) returns to What's the Res to help with the NSDA Public Forum Sept/Oct resolution - "The EU should join the Belt and Road Initiative." What exactly is the Belt and Road Initiative? Tyler has published on the topic (that article is here), and defines the goals and efforts of the Chinese government in understandable English. Josh and Tyler discuss the nature, history, potential advantages and harms of Chinese lending policy to create global infrastructure. Does this count as predatory lending? Listen in, and let us know what you think!
