Build Back Better Initiative

Supposed to be financed by private firms....HAHAHAHA

What a bunch of fucking retards.

Infrastructure projects are notorious (regardless of country) for the long periods required to return on investment. The Sydney Harbour Bridge took 65 years to pay off, and tip of the iceberg. Private investors usually don't touch infrastructure with a 10-foot pole. Infrastructure needs to be state funded or it won't happen.

How can just one man live rent free in so many Westerners' heads?...

I bet Xi is right now calling Putin and they are playing a bingo game about what the G7 will say:

"Human Rights"
"Rules-based order"
"Indo-Pacific"
"Debt-trap!"
"Hong Kong"
"We are deeply concerned about the genocide happening in Xinjiang"
"We call for China's regime, to let free the 2 Canadians"
"We will not allow China to economically coerce our partners and allies around the world"
"We are deeply concerned about the increasingly aggresive behaviour Bejing has towards Taiwan"
"We call for China to open its Wuhan Lab for the world to investigate Covid's origins"
"Vaccine Diplomacy"
"Freedom of Navigation"

Infrastructure projects are notorious (regardless of country) for the long periods required to return on investment. The Sydney Harbour Bridge took 65 years to pay off, and tip of the iceberg. Private investors usually don't touch infrastructure with a 10-foot pole. Infrastructure needs to be state funded or it won't happen.

The original thinking behind Belt and Road Initiative was to leverage China's huge capacity and experience in infrastructure building as a start, which no country in the world could rival, including all these G7 countries. Furthermore, China can also provide long-term, low interest rate financing to these projects via China Development Bank and China Import and Export Bank, as well as AIIB. These are not commercial banks, but policy banks that function differently from commercial ones. China has huge foreign currency reserves and annual trade surplus, which need to be deployed and invested more productively. Finally, these infrastructure project also aim to promote trade between the Belt and Road countries and China, the largest trading nation in the world, as well as Chinese investments in these countries.

As you can see, what China provides via the Belt and Road Initiative is a whole package of development programs for many of these participating countries, with a set of coherent and self-reinforcing objectives. The Belt and Road Initiative is not without its challenges in implementation, but the inherent logic is hard to dispute.

Can G7 countries match it?

Don't think make up plan will do much improvement in old JoBo's "infrastructure".
On a serious note, so far lots of hot gas out of the boy band, nothing worth attention.
I am disappointed with how little they have come out so far. Lets wait to see if they agreed to anything else

If thats everything they have then lol. Xi can rest easy and enjoy life until retirement. No need for further worries
