Dr. Gu Qingyang, an associate professor of the School of Public Policy of the National University of Singapore, emphasized that China does not now pose an international geopolitical threat to the United States by the Belt and Road Initiative.Essence
The success of the Belt and Road Initiative proposed by China depends on the political relations of China's political relations with other countries. The specific projects under the Belt and Road Initiative also need to form more standardized rules and standards.Scholars suggest that the initiative should focus on the economic level, reduce the color of international geopolitical competition, to reduce the hostility of the United States, and at the same time strive for more countries' support.
At the Lianhe Morning Post on Friday (17th), the Belt and Road Reviewing Symposium, Dr. Gu Qingyang, Associate Professor Gu Qingyang, Associate Professor of the School of Public Police, Singapore National University, and Dr. Li Mingjiang, Associate Professor Li Mingjiang of Nanyang University of Science and Technology Rajernan International Relations College, respectively.Interacting with Southeast Asia, reviewing and reviewing the development of the Belt and Road Initiative since 2013.
Looking back at the results, Gu Qingyang believes that the initiative should be more tolerant. Not only must they benefit the country where the project is located, but also take care of the interests of the United States, Japan, Europe and other places, so that they can get benefits.This is because the three major economic energy of the United States, Japan and Europe provides high -end services that China lacks.
Gu Qingyang said: China is very outstanding in terms of hardware, especially in infrastructure engineering.However, in terms of risk management and project financing, it still needs to be done around the world.
He told the scene of about 300 and audiences who watched live broadcasts on the spot, how to delineate the boundaries of the Belt and Road Initiative is very important.If the initiative is defined at the level of economic development, there will be a broad world, which can attract more countries and even the United States to participate, and global companies will not reject it.However, it is very dangerous if it is defined as a competitive project with geopolitics and military strength.
Gu Qingyang emphasized that China does not use the Belt and Road Initiative to form an international geopolitical threat to the United States. Instead, through infrastructure such as ports and roads, it should help countries along the Belt and Road countries develop the economy and make economic cakes.From an economic point of view, he believes that global companies are moving to avoid harm. As long as they participate in the Belt and Road Initiative are favorable, they will not reject it.I think the U.S. government can't figure it out for a while, and American companies are thinking.
However, Li Mingjiang put forward different views that the initiative would largely help China expand its influence in East Asia, achieve the mission of great rejuvenation, and make China a big country with global influence.China's rising up.Therefore, he believes that in the environment of re -igniting the war of trade in China and the United States and moving towards the next Cold War, it is almost impossible for the United States to truly accept the Belt and Road Initiative in recent years, which is difficult to go to the sky.
The standard is not clear to Southeast Asia, but step by step
Li Mingjiang also pointed out that in the past five years, over the past five years, excessive propaganda and bombing propaganda have been presented to the Belt and Road Initiative.He believes that the publicity of the Belt and Road Initiative should be more cautious: because if you are too high -profile, too high, and too strong, it is easy to make some unwavering countries in the West, such as the United States, think that China wants lsquo;Essence
From a more basic level, Li Mingjiang believes that the success of the Belt and Road Initiative does not exactly depends on China, which propose initiative, but depends on the extent to how much other countries can accept, participate, and support the initiative.The higher the international status in China, the more positive the image, the more conducive to the implementation of initiatives to participate and support other countries.
Taking Asia's detail as an example, Li Mingjiang said that although the officials of the Asianan countries actively expressed their support for the Belt and Road Initiative, they did not mean that there was no concern. From the past five years, it has not expressed support for the Belt and Road in the past five years.He pointed out that Asiansan complied with the principle of consistent negotiation, as long as one country opposed it, there was no way to issue a statement.
Some projects under the Belt and Road Initiative encountered setbacks in Southeast Asia. Li Mingjiang believes that the most fundamental reason is that the investment rules and standards are not clear.But he also emphasized that Chinese leaders have realized this problem.
At the 2nd Belt and Road International Cooperation Summit Forum held earlier, Chinese President ... promised to increase the financing transparency of China's foreign investment projects.He said that the Belt and Road Initiative will adhere to the concepts of opening up, green, and integrity, and insist on all cooperation in the sun, and at the same time crack down on corruption with a zero tolerance, responding to the international community's doubts about the Belt and Road Initiative.
Li Mingjiang believes that the infrastructure projects initiated by the Belt and Road Initiative should be uniformly standardized and formulated higher standards and more clear rules, otherwise it is more difficult to solve the above -mentioned inclusive problems.
However, he also pointed out that what kind of rules should be used all the way are also a problem. Due to historical reasons, China did not participate too much in the current formulation of international rules.The current international rules often reflect the idea and willingness of the West.If China uses ready -made rules in the Belt and Road Initiative, it will greatly increase the cost of Chinese companies.
Therefore, Li Mingjiang believes that the standard system in China in the end should be between the rules recognized by the Western international community and the standard rules of other countries.
Use public capital as an investor guarantee
In terms of finance, Gu Qingyang believes that the current sources of funds in proposal are too single, most of which are sovereign funds from China. The leverage is not strong, and it is also easy to make China the object of complaints about the project where the project is located.
He believes that the Chinese government uses national funds to promote the Belt and Road Initiative. Generally, 100 million yuan is used to do 100 million yuan. From a financial perspective, it is very inconsistent with the leverage of financial.
Gu Qingyang suggested that China should adopt the model of government and social capital to provide funds for the Belt and Road Initiative. Public capital can be used as an income guarantee for investors to attract more private capital to join, thereby increasing leverage, providing more provision of morefunds.
Gu Qingyang bluntly stated: China is vigorously deleveraging, but the Chinese government should increase (lever) in overseas investment.
At the same time, he also reminded that the Belt and Road Initiative is not to digest Chinese surplus products, but to provide a balance of supply demand for the development of developing countries. When formulating and implementing plans, global needs must be considered.
