Abstract

This article examines China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project through the green development discourse and green financing policies. Under the BRI, China disseminated 183 billion United States dollars (USD) as energy finance for BRI countries to achieve the capacity building to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 2030. I attempt to critically analyse how China promotes its eco-friendly infrastructure development policies through the BRI projects. The first question is why China construct ecologically smart and sustainable development projects under the ambitious ongoing BRI. And secondly, how China is creating comprehensive strategies and policy coordination for implementing green infrastructure development projects in BRI countries. Moreover, this paper argues whether the 'Chinese model' of green development is successful and why it encounters criticism in terms of environmental records, carbon neutrality and conservation methods.
