This is the most popular article in China’s leading newspaper People’s Daily. It reports that President Xi Jinping called for joint efforts to build the Belt and Road into a road for peace, prosperity, openness, innovation and civilization on Sunday.
It’s interesting to see how the Chinese President is stealing the world’s headline today Donald Trump.

This is an interesting article published by Sky News. It reports that China’s Xi Jinping saying the plan to build a modern-day Silk Road will be the start of a new “golden age” of globalisation.
China says modern-day Silk Road will be ‘project of the century‘
The article hints that China’s ambitious plan will affect many countries and will be many times the size of the post-WWII Marshall Plan. This should be contrasted to Trump’s nationalist policies.
Globalism is alive and well and China looks like the latest champion of global growth.
