China's One Belt, One Road Initiative

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

This is a very good website that explains China’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) foreign policy and domestic economic strategy. The idea is that the belt is a network of overland roads and rail routes, and other infrastructure projects that connect China’s commerce to the Middle East and into northern Europe. The road is a maritime equivalent: a network of planned coastal infrastructure projects that connect China to Africa and northern Europe.

China claims that it will comply with the “Three No’s”: (1) no interference in other nationa’s affairs, (2) no to increasing “spheres of influence,” and (3) no to hegemony. However, critics wonder if China is trying to beef up its national security through commerce.

I will be teaching Red Scarf Girl, a memoir about growing up during the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

This website has a good overview of the book and some information on the people mentioned in the book. If you think you might be interested in teaching it, it has some good information.

In another class I took over winter break, I met a woman who lived through the Chinese Cultural Revolution. She said she would be willing to share her experiences and had a similar experience to the author, Ji-Li Jiang.
