Quote:<br>
“The Belt and Road Initiative, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s<br>
signature foreign policy undertaking and the world’s largest<br>
infrastructure program, poses a significant challenge to U.S.<br>
economic, political, climate change, security, and global health<br>
interests.”<br>
Since BRI’s launch in 2013, Chinese banks and companies have financed<br>
and built everything from power plants, railways, highways, and ports<br>
to telecommunications infrastructure, fiber-optic cables, and smart<br>
cities around the world.<br>

But it's not suitable for America.........<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>### The Chinese high speed rail and the BRI are some of the largest failures of the Chicom state. High speed rail loses about 25 million dollars a day, is about a trillion dollars in debt, its ticket sales are not enough to pay even for day to day running of the system, much less maintenance or paying off of loans. BRI lost trillions and earned the Chicoms undying enmity of the nations that were lured into it and now have to put up with invading Chicom infiltrators.</div><div><br></div><div>Rafal </div></div></div>
