Washington has launched several projects to compete with China’s BRI, but these initiatives suffer from US lack of consistency.
The BRI and US rival initiatives
New answers to China’s BRI (1): the Blue Dot network?
In November 2019, the USA, Japan and Australia launched the Blue Dot network. Can this new initiative compete with China’s Belt and Road?
US development initiative for Asia: which impacts on the BRI?
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on July 30, 2018, at the Indo-Pacific Business Forum the upcoming launch of an infrastructure development plan for Asia.
