Thanks for these important pieces of the puzzle - and great maps. I can add a few additional pieces to yours:
From an article in January in the China Daily Global Weekly:
Title: 'BRI kickstarts global growth efforts - China's initiative inspires others to launch similar economic globalization frameworks':
"The BRI [Belt and Road Initiative] has prompted other economies to launch similar initiatives to advance economic development both regionally and globally. For instance the G7 member states launched the "Build Back Better World" initiative in 2021 and the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment [PGII] in 2022 to mobalize $600 billion for global infrastructure investments by 2027, and the European Union proposed the "Global Gateway" in 2021 to boost smart, clean and secure links in digital, energy and transport sectors and strengthen education, healthcare, and research systems across the world. More importantly, the BRI is challenging the monoploy of the West in the postwar world order, as it represents a framework of collaborative practices to present quasi-global solutions to common global problems."
So there are several projects on the Western side. Interesting is the "Build Back Better World" which is meant to be a counter to the BRI - which then also explains the reason for it (somehow, apparently, the alt-sphere never discovered this ...).
Here's the Build Back Better World Wikipedia page:
Extract from above link: "Build Back Better World (B3W) was an initiative undertaken by the G7. Launched on June 12, 2021, it would provide an alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for infrastructure development of low- and middle-income countries".
Other initiatives on the Western side are the "Just Energy Transition" which is part and parcel of the "Circular Economy" which in practice is the operationalization of "Sustainable Development":
Although the above are Western initiatives, BRICS nations are engaged in them too (Russia and China in particular). Likewise, Western companies and nations are engaged in the BRI as well - as you have pointed out - and all of this has been ongoing for several years already, yet much of the alt-sphere still presents a different narrative, and rarely delve into these projects.
Thank you for the additional information… It is a big puzzle but the more pieces that come together it seems like this is a massive coordinated effort and they are just not letting people know the full plan. Originally in 2013 there was no mention of any European projects, but these all seem to have happened under the radar and the coup d’état is virtually complete… As well China has multiple projects in Africa and South America.
Very interesting article! Have you also considered China’s role in the Gaza massacre, and why China (Iran’s biggest oil buyer) is able to prevent Iran from any real retaliation?
IMHO it’s all about the Ben Gurion Canal, whose Wikipedia page has quietly been deleted by the way. 😉 “Nothing to see here…”
I partially agree, but on the other hand all these projects are in the public domain, it's just that they are rarely covered by the mainstream press in the West, but the Chinese press regularly cover these initiatives - all one has to do is read the China Daily (online) regularly [I have access to the Global Weekly paper edition].
The question then arises why is alt-media not covering it more? Why is the bulk of the alt-sphere's self-proclaimed dissidents vocal about the WEF's "Build Back Better World" project, but not equally so in relation to the BRI?
Answer: Most of the alt-sphere's pundits are left-leaning. While they claim to be against "the globalists" they are not really (fully) against globalisation or centralisation. In fact, many of them admire the Eastern globalisation projects ... and some even promote them, directly or indirectly.
Moreover, many of the alt-dissidents (some of the most prominent ones) are actively disinterested in covering or discussing the dire global energy situation, which is the most important underlying factor of much of what's unfolding in the world at present. In other words many alt-pundits offer limited hangouts that frame everything as secretive conspiracies that nobody really understands fully, rather than exploring all the angles and aspects. Therefore, many of the 'dissidents' run online silos and echo-chambers that ignore, or avoid, some of the most important issues (even when it's brought to their attention).
There are exceptions - Iain Davis did a very good 4-part series on The Multipolar World Order in 2022 covering many issues regarding these projects in detail, but few have followed his example:
You all get your digital social credit scores once this all goes down. It will be a mandatory requirement if you want to live under the old world order. As a serf in the new digital kingdom you get a whole new numbered code. Toss out the old cards. This one does it all.
The mesh network was rolled out well everyone was worried about the boogie virus.
