Earlier this year, #SriLankaLanka defaulted on its loan repayments as its #EconomicCrisis brought people on a brink of #humanitariancrisis. Many link #SriLankaCrisis to #PRC's involvement in the country under the #BRI. Here's how experts view it.

Can countries and insurgent groups like the Taliban's resistance be pacified under greater regional economic gains?

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

As the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) under the #BRI is expanded into #Afghanistan, do you think socio-economic development will undermine geo-political tensions?

As criticism surrounding #BRI grows, the PRC is rebranding its flagship project.

"...as we approach the 10th anniversary of the BRI and tensions continues to rise, real risks of a weaponization of BRI infrastructure can materialize, to the detriment of low-income countries, Chinese firms, consumers in end markets, and the global economy."

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

Do you think the #PRC will go in as far as weaponizing countries under the #BRI? Tell us in the comments.

While many view President Xi Jinping alongisde Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping as an economic reformer, do you think he would be able to deliver the same in the face of current challenges? Tell us in the comments.

Statistics indicate that as #ChineseEconomy is slowing down, it can have ramifications for the #PRC's flagship project, the #BRI. https://t.co/q6LiByYpCu

Xi Jinping’s continued tenure as leader is a disaster for human rights. The government’s policies and practices under Xi’s leadership pose a threat to rights not just at home, but globally.

Here's an overview of #PRC's investments in #SouthAsia under their flagship project, #BRI. In all three graphs, #Pakistan's share of investments under the #BRI are the highest compared with any other regional country, while at the same time the country also poses the highest risk

The #BRI in #Nepal. Will infrastructural development under the BRI, help South Asian economies, or is this a ploy for greater #PRC geo-strategic goals? Tell us what you think.@KalyanRajSharm1, Chairman-Nepla-China Friendship forum thinks its a positive development. @RupsiParajuli

However, this institutionalization gives over-arching powers to what is essentially #economicorridor, at the expense of the local citizens who have to accept the law as binding. As a result of this, people who voice their concerns against #CPEC are viewed as being against state.

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

The #BRI corridor in Pakistan, #ChinaPakistanEconomicCorridor is governed by a constitutional mechanism which gives credence to its institutional framework, ensuring its sustainability.

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

Under the #BRI, in Pakistan about 35 #EarlyHarvesProjects have been completed so far. Most of these are #energy and #infrastructural projects and have been completed under Phase I of #CPEC.

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

The #BRI in Pakistan, known as #CPEC, has now transitioned from Phase I (energy & infrastructural development) to Phase II (rapid industrialization). But simultaneously work on Phase III (socio-economic development) is also ongoing.

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

However, the recent protests across Gwadar (the epicenter of CPEC), by the local fishermen highlights that no 'real development' has come to the country, while this corridor is one other attempt by the PRC to expand its influence in the region.

[BRI Watch @WatchBri]

CPEC is one of the six corridors of the BRI, & the only one that has progressed from Phase I (removing key economic bottlenecks; energy & infrastructure) to Phase II which focuses on rapid industrialization, socio-economic/agricultural cooperation and promoting b2b collaboration

Is India rethinking its ties with China post Ladakh withdrawal? Is geo-economics stronger than the India-US Nexus?

As more economies join the #BRI, here's how #PRC and #CentralAsianRepublics are inching closer in a new wave of geo-economic developments.
