On Monday, The Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation wrapped up in China’s capital of Beijing. Alexei Maslov, one of the leading Russian scholars and expert in East Asian studies, talked to Sputnik about what the summit achieved and the true aims of China’s ambitious One Belt, One Road project.

China’s most ambitious project, known as One Belt, One Road, is seen by many as purely an economic and trade initiative, concerned with huge infrastructure projects, mostly around transport and energy: roads, bridges, gas pipelines, ports, railways, and power plants.

Professor Alexei Maslov, Head of the School of Asian Studies at Russia’s Higher School of Economics and Director of the Centre for Chinese Strategic Studies however explained what China’s real purpose is with the project.

“Apart from the purely economic, the idea initially had another side. It is usually referred to as geo-strategic, however the world ‘civilizational’ better fits here, even though China tries not to show it off,” reads Professor Maslov’s analytical article for Sputnik.
