Maritime Silk Road
China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) development strategy aims to build connectivity and cooperation across six main economic corridors encompassing China and: Mongolia and Russia; Eurasian countries; Central and West Asia; Pakistan; other countries of the Indian sub-continent; and Indochina.
After confronting wars with its neighbouring countries and economic war with superpowers like UK and USA and being socially boycotted by many countries like India, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and many European countries, China always had been in fear of having impact on trade routes under these countries and their alliances, So an amount of about whooping 8 trillions is about to be spent on the project. Port acquiring for trade has been done seizing for unpaid debts given over curropt and false bills and overcharged price on the project, massive strikes are visible in the victim countries against these but having negligible impact on it.
Consequences
Having this route built, china will have minimal fear of trade route getting blocked in south china sea by U.S alliances and will freely attack taiwan and hong-kong like countries to impose their dominance.
