Summary:

"Freymann takes you inside Chinese President Xi Jinping's legacy project-One Belt One Road-the largest global infrastructure development program in history. The book argues that OBOR is not a centralized and systematic investment policy but rather a largely aspirational, bottom-up campaign to export an ancient Chinese model of patronage and tribute. Inside China, OBOR propaganda depicts Xi Jinping restoring the nation's lost imperial glory. Overseas, China uses massive investments to cultivate important international relationships"-- Provided by publisher.
