    The impact of COVID-19 on Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure and construction projects

    Infrastructure and construction projects, some of which are part of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have, as one would expect, been largely halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
