China鈥檚 Reach

With major investment projects stretching from Africa to Europe, China鈥檚 Belt and Road initiative, or yi dai yi lu, has already had a huge impact on the global arena. As the trade war with the US continues, Professor John Peterson from Edinburgh University and economist Vicky Pryce examine China鈥檚 economic policy. On a similar note, this week鈥檚 Arctic Council meeting raised fresh concerns about China鈥檚 influence in the far North. Dr Victoria Herrmann from the Arctic Institute and Professor Rasmus Bertelsen reflect on the political and environmental effect felt by the Arctic as various powers jostle for dominance.
