“CHINA’S BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE - Connecting Countries Saving Millions of Lives” is a compilation of essays by Andre Vltchek. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is fundamentally reshaping the world. Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia, that were previously at the mercy of Western imperialist powers, have suddenly discovered that they have alternatives and choices. Entire huge railroad pro- jects in East Africa as well as in the once devastated Laos are now connecting continents. Along the railway lines, schools are growing, and so are medical facilities, community learning centers and cultural institutions. All this because of BRI. BRI is about the well-being of the people, about the culture, health and knowledge. BRI aimes at connecting human beings of different races, life philosophies, and beliefs.

Splendid book form a splendid writer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2021Verified Purchase
The late Andre Vltchek is by no means the only writer to welcome China's Belt and Road. Two others are Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar and US economist Michael Hudson, both cited frequently on my website for their knowledge and analytic abilities, and for bringing a breadth and depth of vision of which corporate media are systemically incapable on this subject.
But Andre brought to BRI something uniquely his: an ability to dream, yet not make dreams his master; to think, yet not make thought his aim. Or to put it another way, as he toured the global south – the rotting transport infrastructure not only of Indonesia and Thailand but of Japan too … the fresh hope brought to carpet bombed Laos … the capitalism-without-brakes of Macau … – he infused empirical reporting with the eye of a poet. Is he biased? Absolutely. His siding with sanity against madness, with rational planning against free market mayhem, and above all with those who toil against a tiny elite whose investment calculations shape the world as we know and fear it, are all disgracefully partisan.
So let me invite you to set aside what you think you know of China – what you have had drilled into you by revolving-door politicians, and by corporate media which can put on a big show of independence on lesser issues but whose business models render them supine at best on all matters of non negotiable import to those who truly rule the West.
Buy this book. (No - I never met the guy, and have no motive beyond wanting to promote his much needed challenge to the venally driven vilifying of China and her monumental Belt & Road Initiative.)

A book about China
Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2021Verified Purchase
There is nothing more refreshing that reading a book that explain what is really happening, not the propaganda version of what is going on in China like what you read and hear from the daily mud being thrown by the Western medias.
The book explain in simple and clear language what is BRI for people who want to know about them and what the implication to the countries that are supporting it.
I wish Mr. Vltchek is still with us to write more of this kind of books.
