Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping today defended his ambitious multi-billion
dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), saying China has no
"geo-political calculations" and the project will benefit the world.
Touted
as Xi's pet project, the BRI has become a major stumbling block in
India-China relations as the controversial USD 50 billion China Pakistan
Economic Corridor (CPEC) has been listed as its "flagship project".
