Where is the “Belt” and “Road” in the Belt and Road (B&R)?

The B&R is not a simple linear economy, but an open and inclusive cooperative platform which covers different regions, development stages and civilizations, and global public goods jointly constructed by all parties involved. Chinese President Xi Jinping noted at the first Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation that, the B&R, while focusing on Asian and European continents, is open to all like-minded friends and it will neither exclude nor target any side. The Chinese government has never put a limit on the B&R, so every region can have the opportunity to reap the benefits of it.
