#China’s energy outreach under #BRI remains carbon-intensive.

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

Between 2013 and 2016, #Chinese financial institutions invested $15 billion in coal projects abroad. #beltandroad is not a green or sustainable development model. @wef

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#China sees it its moral obligation to share its “experience and practice in ecological civilization and green development” with other growing economies. However, #Chinese are rampantly destroying environment. @wef @UN

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#Beijing’s egregious #humanrights violations, habitual cyber thievery and spying, alarming military buildup and threats to freedom of the seas are funded by #beltandroad #debt money.

The #coronavirus pandemic, a global health and economic disaster born and bred in #China, has added insult — and infection — to global injury. #beltandroad model must be exposed. @WHO
@wto

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

It is obvious that #China’s Communist rulers are working to divide the world to their economic and political benefit. #BRI is a means to that end. @undpp must consider how to address the enormous challenge #beltandroad poses.
@UN @wef @wto

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

As far as the development aid/finance in the #BRI is concerned, #China’s behavior to form an economic area led by it is a new challenge to existing international economic regimes. @wef @WorldBank

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#China is increasingly deepening its influence to the global governance of various multilateral regimes. This is undermining global equation. #beltandroad
@UN

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

It is high time for #China and its financial banks to find more practical areas for collaboration along #beltandroad that can contribute to sustainable peace and development. Right now it is upending global peace. @UN @EU_Commission

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#China is censoring dialogues with private sector partners, civil society and a range of voices in countries that are affected by #BRI. There’s a lot at stake for all. @undppa

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#beltandroad is facing uphill task of mitigating negative public perception globally.@wef

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#Chinese analysts are arguing that as long as the interests of ruling elites in #BeltandRoad countries are aligned with #China’s, problems can be managed. However, #BRI suggests otherwise.
@UN @wef @wto

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

Companies, financial institutions and other organisations involved in #BeltandRoad projects should be more rigorous in assessing and addressing political and security risks. However, under #CCP pressure they are forced to look other way.
@UN @EU_Commission

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

Quantitative metrics and vague strategic frameworks is creating #debttrap for #BRI countries . #China avoids doing extensive field research, engaging on the ground and making qualitative judgements. #BRI rides on corruption.
@UN @wef

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

The #Chinese government provides significant subsidies to encourage use of #beltandroad. However global experts found that many exporters transported empty containers from #China to #Europe just to receive those subsidies.

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#China’s #beltandroad has stirred fears among citizens of vassalage to #Beijing. @UN @wef

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

@UN's mental agreement with #China on #Beijing policies could not be denied for the diversion. Who wants one country model of development? #beltandroad

However, it has failed to win over local populations and governments by funneling corruption. The path forward is now bumpy over #bri.

#China has sunk hundreds of billions of dollars into ports, railways, and energy projects across #Asia, #Africa, and #Europe. The goal is to only expand #China model in many developing countries. (1/2

[Aisha Alvi @AishaAlvi8]

#China’s #BeltandRoad , a network of enhanced overland and maritime trade routes better linking #China with #Asia, #Europe and #Africa that began in 2013 with much fanfare and hope is now under distress spreading #debttrap.
