The Great Game Changer: Belt and Road Intiative (BRI; OBOR)

[Mangus Ortus Novem]

There is NO comparison between Russian and China.

There is only cooperation between the two great powers.

Such articles are designed to produce rift or split between the peoples of the two great countries.

The level of strategic cooperation between the two countries have grown so much that trouble makers are getting very worried.

We must work hard for peace and harmony in eurasia.

Only with peace and harmony OBOR can succeed. Win-win for both great powers.

 

[TaiShang]

Evolution of SCO is a slow and gradual process. If we want the eaurasian region to remain peaceful and develop to its true potential...we need stability and peace.

Outside forces have tried for decades to keep SCO region backward and poor. OBOR will only succeed if there is Peace under the Heavens.

Sino-Russian cooperation is critical. They must provide security together. BMD is but just one component of it. Very vital of course.

Step in the right direction.

I agree. Global trade remains Pacific-bound. But, global security needs to be Eurasia-bound. The SCO is the framework to ensure this in the long term.

The OBOR, on the other hand, is a plan to bring Eurasia at least on the same foot with the Pacific in terms of trade.

Tai Shang, right to the heart of the matter.

Global trade is for now Pacific bound. However, through OBOR a new civilisation dynmaic is becoming slowly are reality.

From Singapore to Spain, from Moscow to Colombo.

When all is connected and indusrial zones are established along the road, we will truly enter an age of peace and development.

The momentum is in this direction. There is no doubt.

Peace and development is a better option than war and conflict. OBOR offers this to all the countries in the belt zone.

Exciting times await us.

President Xi sends congratulatory message to 2016 Media Cooperation Forum on Belt and Road
By Shi Jing (People's Daily Online) 11:19, July 26, 2016

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory message on Tuesday to the 2016 Media Cooperation Forum on the Belt and Road, calling on media to play a positive role in pushing forward the progress of the initiative.

President Xi said that the Silk Road is a common treasure for people from all over the world. In order to promote the spirit of the Silk Road, China has put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, which will be jointly carried out through extensive consultation so that it honors the interests of all, and promotes policy coordination, facilities connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration and person-to-person bonds between countries along the Belt and Road route.

China is willing to join hands with these countries to build the mutually beneficial and cooperative network of Belt and Road, jointly found a new model of cooperation, explore the platform of multilateral cooperation, and push forward programs in key fields to build a green, healthy, intelligent and peaceful Silk Road, Xi said, noting that this will benefit all the people and countries along the road.

"Media plays an essential role in communicating information, enhancing mutual trust and building consensus. This forum provides a platform for media from many countries to engage in dialogue and practice cooperation." The Chinese president added, "We hope to utilize this platform to promote the development of international relations, deliver public opinion and deepen mutual trust, as well as to push forward the progress of the Belt and Road Initiative."

The Media Cooperation Forum on the Belt and Road, which is hosted by People’s Daily, has been held each year since 2014. It is the media forum with the greatest number of participants from various countries and foreign media organizations held by a Chinese media group in recent years.

The face of Central Asia will be transformed with the OBOR.

The face of Central Asia will be transformed with the OBOR.

All of eurasia, ME, South Asia, ASEAN and Africa, my good friend.

Such a bold and vast project has never been undertaken in human history.

This a paradigm shift. From war and violence to peace and co-development.

Humanity needs a new paradigm.

The Belt and Road Initiative has helped to create 60,000 jobs around the world with its total investment of more than $1.4 billion so far, a top legislator said Tuesday.

Chinese President Xi Jinping first proposed the Belt and Road Initiative during state visits to Central and Southeast Asia in the spring of 2013. The initiative has been widely supported since that time, especially in countries along the Belt and Road route, said Wang Chen, vice chairman and secretary general of the National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.

Wang made his remarks at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Media Cooperation Forum on Belt and Road that began July 26 in Beijing.

Wang said that over 70 countries, regions and international organizations have actively participated in Belt and Road construction. He added that China has signed cooperative agreements with more than 30 countries, and over 20 countries have signed industrial capacity cooperative agreements. Some 46 overseas cooperation zones have been established in 17 countries along the Belt and Road route.

“Belt and Road construction has become a common dream, guiding us to pursue peace and development for people in many countries,” Wang said.

The annual media forum, which is hosted by People’s Daily, has been held each year since 2014. It is the media forum with the greatest number of participants from various countries and foreign media organizations held by a Chinese media group in recent years, according Yang Zhenwu, president of People's Daily, at the opening ceremony.

China, Russia navies to hold drill in South China Sea

Xinhua, July 28, 2016

The navies of China and Russia will hold a joint drill in South China Sea in September, spokesperson Yang Yujun of China's Defense Ministry said Thursday.

The drill, codenamed Joint Sea-2016, is a product of the consensus reached by the two sides, said Yang.

Held on both land and sea, the drill is a routine one between China and Russia, and does not target any third party, according to Yang.

The drill will consolidate and develop the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination, deepen pragmatic and friendly cooperation between the two militaries, and enhance the capabilities of the two navies to jointly deal with maritime security threats, Yang said.

**

I was expecting this and I often times said that China-Russia joint drill in the SCS will be part and parcel of China's development and security policy in the region.

The depth and breadth of China-Russia strategic partnership is to take a whole new level with this; clearly indicating Russia's geopolitical posture as it relates to China's competition with the US in the SCS.

Those small countries which put their hope on US help can kiss their faint hope a solid goodbye, because, with Russian involvement on the side of China, US military meddling is less of a likelihood than before.

This is stall a beginning steps of a deeper and more institutional China-Russia partnership.

Uncle Sam wont be happy with that.

 

[TheTheoryOfMilitaryLogistics]

知乎上看到的一段很搞笑的话：
苏联海军的作战思想是：
把船开出去 ，
把导弹打光，
然后游回来。

俄罗斯海军就是一个掩护核潜艇发射洲际导弹的挡箭牌而已。

 

[terranMarine]

Chinese and Russian Navy performing military drill in SCS sends a heavy weight warning to US and Japan. This is exactly what we need. US and it's European stooges trying to bring Russia down with sanctions ain't gonna succeed with China's economic assistance and vice versa with Russia coming to China's aid in the SCS man o man this is a huge slap in their face.

 

[TaiShang]

Uncle Sam wont be happy with that.

I guess the entire point is to make Uncle unhappy - although, officially, it is not directed at anybody.

What I wonder most is how the lil' countries will react to it. They will ask Uncle for yet another innocent passage?

China and Russia's interests and strategies are being aligned in the Pacific and Eurasia.

 

[Mangus Ortus Novem]

Logical progression really.

Indeed not directed at any party at all.

Chinese navy went to Black Sea.

Logical that Rus navy comes to Chinese waters be ECS or SCS.

A comprehensive and productive partnership between the two is good for peace and stability.

They should invite more friendly countries for such excercises.

 

[yusheng]

China don't want to bullyrag small countries , especially neighbours, but the nature changed when they wanted to employ US to get the benefits from China. then their only fate is cannon fodder .

in fact, the Philippinese and Vietnamese are smart enough to see through the US tricks, i just worry Japan and Taiwan province will do the silly job.
