This book discusses the progress of the BRI as it enters its tenth year after being launched in 2013 and becoming by far the biggest bilateral development assistance program in the world. The analysis offered herein is based on eleven detailed 'inside-out' country studies by independent experts and the studies presented here explain in an accessible manner how the pace and direction of the BRI has been impacted by the pandemic, the debt distress faced by many countries and the policies adopted by the Chinese authorities to navigate these new challenges.
