Trump's trade threats could end up boosting China's global economic clout China’s Belt and Road Initiative aims to build trade infrastructure and expand Beijing’s global influence. As the U.S. turns increasingly protectionist, disrupted supply chains could send countries moving closer to China. Still, China’s globe-spanning project has faced problems, including debt overload and political risks. Kelly Olsen Published 5 Hours Ago CNBC.com President Xi Jingping.

As the United States increasingly confronts China over trade and turns away from decades of championing lower tariffs, Beijing is seen getting a boost from its globe-spanning — and heavily marketed — investment program. China’s Belt and Road Initiative is a massive infrastructure project that covers more than 80 countries, claims to seek the revival of historic Silk Road trade routes. Nomura estimates it could be worth at least $1.5 trillion in investments over the next 10 years. The aim is to connect China with much of the rest of Asia, Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa through massive commerce-boosting projects such as railroads, highways and ports — increasing China’s global reach all the while. The project has garnered plenty of skepticism from Beijing’s rivals, but the White House’s push for greater trade benefits could end up boosting buy-in for the Belt and Road, analysts say. Carlos Casanova, Asia-Pacific economist at French trade credit insurer Coface, said there could be supply chain disruptions if access to the world’s largest economy is reduced, so that could force some countries involved in the Belt and Road to seek increased trade with China, in turn potentially providing it with more export markets as well. China would “be a lot less dependent on the United States” if trade increases with the Belt and Road, he said. Fred Neumann, co-head of Asian economics research at HSBC in Hong Kong, also said the Belt and Road Initiative can benefit China amid the trade standoff with the U.S. ”The underlying theme is really connectivity to foster trade relations,” Neumann said of the initiative. “And to the extent that they are succeeding in building this, it should help to offset potential drags on growth or drag on exports to the U.S.” ‘Plan in the sunshine’ U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” program has stoked fears the country is turning its back on the global trading system it once nurtured. And while critics have called the Belt and Road an overhyped endeavor aimed at securing China’s 21st Century political and economic dominance in a geostrategic region, Beijing counters it is for the good of all. Speaking in April, President Xi Jinping denied the project was “an intrigue of China,” the official Xinhua news agency reported. “It is, if anything, a plan in the sunshine," Xi reportedly said. Despite such assurances, it has not been all smooth sailing for the Belt and Road. Projects have gone sour, such as a debt-laden port in Sri Lanka. And Malaysia is renegotiating a rail deal after the shock return to power of Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in May, illustrating the political risks China increasingly faces as its influence grows. And even as China ramps up the project, its outbound foreign direct investment fell last year for the first time since 2009. In fact, China’s investments in Asia still pale in comparison to Japan’s. But China has an overwhelming advantage in trade volumes and its commitment to the Belt and Road has not visibly wavered. Casanova said that despite the overall fall in 2017, investment by China in Belt and Road countries actually increased.
