Submitted Assignment from the year 2022 in the subject Geography / Earth Science – Economic Geography, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, language: English, abstract: This short paper looks at the linkage of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) brought forward by the People’s Republic of China in 2015.
It is an endeavor to expand the country’s economic reach and to export goods in wider areas of the world.

Nevertheless, there are still negative effects such as substantial wealth gaps, gender inequalities, and limited economic development capacity along with quite a strong discrepancy between plans and deeds.
