28. Why China?

29. Ancient Silk Road

30. Extending to South Pacific

31. China Strength IN OBOR I. China Model
2. Four Trillion USD foreign reverse
3. Tech
4. Culture

33. The Money, Where from?
Loans from World Bank, Asian Development Bank and alike
Silk Road Fund.Ltd，40 billion USD and Growing since 2014
Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
A Public-Private Partnership like European Investment Bank

34. What Risks?
Economic
Political
Security
Legal
Moral

35. Economic Short Term: Conflicting Monetary Policies across the World
Long Term: Shifting Global Economic Structure
Now: Investment, Financing, Taxtation
Sovereign Debt, Local Debt, Weak Services, Lack of Awareness
Will it degenerate into a simple spending spree by China, as some kind of global Ministry o Finance

36. Political Internal Geopolitical
What will current Global System become? Reactions?

37. Security US and NATO confronting a reviving Russia
Syria, Iran, Rise of ISIS and general terrorism, and possible manipulation of terrorism by states
Maritime Disputes
Color Revolutions

38. Legal Future of WTO facing new arrangements
Insufficient Legal Frame along OBOR
Obstacles in Existing Legal Systems: Laws too open for interpreation
Projects and Protest

39. Moral
State Level: Unfamiliar China---How Much do People Know but Pandas?
Business Level: Bad Behavior---modernization in a world of Postmodern ethics
Interpersonal: There are still bad people around

40. Have Risks, Will Prevent
By inclusiveness:
Mesh with Existing Cooperation
Against No One
By Involvement:
of Local Stakeholders and People
By Sharing:
Localization of Whole Industrial Chain and Services, bringing benefits where we are

41. A Shared Trinity Common Interest:
in Politics, Economy, Culture through working together
Common Responsibility:
from shared concerns and combined efforts for OBOR governance
Common Destiny:
Overcome challenges together, over the Risks is common Prosperity

42. BTW, About those “China Something”…
China Model?
China Experience?
China Dream?

43. China Model：What Is It? Why Share?
Infrastracture+Education
Helps the 900 million people without electrical power reach UN Millennium Development Goals and Move On
The Master said, "Now the man of perfect virtue, wishing to be established himself, seeks also to establish others; wishing to be enlarged himself, he seeks also to enlarge others. To be able to judge of others by what is nigh in ourselves - this may be called the art of virtue."

44. China Experience Gradual Reform and Opening Up
intergration of Market in China and Beyond
Interconnectivity

45. China Dream Peace, Peace, Peace
Inclusiveness, Inclusiveness, Inclusiveness
Prosperity. Prosperity, Prosperity
Like we in China said, important things should be said Thrice

46. It`s Just… Why NOW?

47. time to bring maximum prosperity from not only China, but the World

48. For the world

49. Growing Importance of Silk Road Regions in Global Economy

50. Infrastructure Investment Demand in coming Years Estimated: 6
Infrastructure Investment Demand in coming Years Estimated: billion USD 2015 to billion USD 2015 to 2025

51. China`s trade with OBOR topped 1 trillion USD in 2013, after a decade of 19% average growth, and is still growing fast.

52. And the OBOR mission…

53. Seeking Way for Global Prosperity in Post-Crisis Era
As the new engine of global economic growth, China brings its advantages in productivity, technology, funding, experience, and development into package and offer.
The Belt and Road Initiative is the result of this and China’s new phase of all-around opening-up.

54. Global Rebalance
Traditional globalization starts from the sea. Coastal regions and maritime states develop first, while inland countries fall behind, forming a massive wealth gap.
From Partial globalization to Inclusive globalization

55. With Global Shipping Like This

56. And Nocturnal World This

57. We Need a New Model for Regional Cooperation for the 21st Century
Economic Belt is an innovation in regional cooperation.
A new Eurasian Land Bridge
China-Mongolia-Russia, China-Central Asia-West Asia and China-Indochina Peninsula economic corridors work as growth nexus to bring good to surrounding areas.

58. Why Good for the World?
Case on Europe

59. Europe's Second Chance to Shape the World
Now Europe could once again be the centre of this world with all Eurasian continent if she want. This geopolitical World Island could reshape Global Geopolitics and the entire Globalization with its own Integration.

60.   China's “One Belt One Road” offers eight great opportunities for Europe as follows:
Firstly, One Belt and One Road (OBOR) can connect with Juncker-Plan and stimulate European economic growth through mutual-connectivity and extending European single market to Eurasian Big Market.

61. Secondly, it is an opportunity to build a greater Eurasian market and to revive European civilization;
Thirdly, it is an opportunity for Europe’s regional integration: "Eastern partnership" and "Mediterranean partnership“?
Fourthly, the opportunity to push forward EU-China comprehensive strategic partnership.

62. Fifthly, it is an opportunity for EU-Russian reconciliation
Sixthly, it is an opportunity for the EU to access to Asia-Pacific Affairs.
Seventhly, it is an opportunity for the EU to enhance its global influence.
Eighthly, it is an opportunity to balance the development of the trans-Atlantic relationship.

63. According to Bloomberg analysis, OBOR will bring 3 billion middle class in 2050.
In the coming decade, OBOR will create 2.5 trillion USD trade along the 65 countries including European countries under 16+1 framework.

64. One Belt One Road Initiate Promotes 16+1 Cooperation
Chin-Europe “partnership of peace, partnership of growth, partnership of reform, and partnership of civilization”, maritime cooperation is the new grip.

65. building a new Asia-Europe maritime-land combined transport passage, relying on Belgrade-Budapest Railway and Greece’s Piraeus Port.

66. Case Study: five ways for the UK to join OBOR
First, strategies Synergy. The UK Northern England Revitalization Plan with the initiative.
Second, connectivity in five aspects. RMB
Third, development of third-party markets.
Fourth, international capacity cooperation.
Fifth, joint development of the Maritime Silk Road.

67. Conclusion E=MC² E: Europe M: Mutual Connectivity
C²: China multiplies Eurasian Continent
