The Belt and Road Initiative in a Time of Global Pandemic

How has the global pandemic impacted China's ambitious belt and road initiative? Will the economic slowdown force a scaling back of the projects? How will this impact China's ability to project influence? Moreover, what does it mean for the countries who have tied their own economic development to the increase of east-west trade? Please join us for a discussion of the future of this critical geo-economic project.
