All about One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR) of China


One Belt One Road,Belt and Road or simply OBOR is China's strategical initiative taken for advancement in many fields. This initiative was firstly proposed by Chinese president Xi Zinping in 2013. This is based on ancient time Silk Rout which connect China and eastern Asia to Europe and Northern Africa. China has invested more then $ 40 Billion in this project, this is a big amount for China when its economy is shrinking and unemployment is at peak but Chinese officials say that benefits of this project will be enormous. China will be connected to West Asia, Northern & Eastern Africa and Eastern Europe directly. It will be easy for China to aces central Asia for Petroleum and Gas energy. It will also reduce cost of shipping Petroleum from Arab countries. Chines authorities claim that this is only an multi dimensional economic project but opponents say something different. Among China's neighbour India was first to oppose this project. Indian authorities claim that OBOR passes through Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and that is an integral part of India so we cannot let anyone to use our land without our permission. This project is highly centred around Pakistan and this is going to inhance the partnership of both countries which is alarming for India.
                                     Experts says that if Belt and Road initiative will get expected success it will decrease the role of North Atlantic region in trade and status quo regarding supremacy. China has get success in utilizing its manpower and resources and via OBOR they will get diplomatic and strategic edge over United States. This giant project includes entire South East, South and Central Asia at first phase. Its second phase will bring West Asia, Europe and entirely whole Africa under its influence. Nowadays Chinese authorities are organizing meetings with leaders of Latin America. Here we can say that China is ready to displace United States as biggest player of world trade and influence.
                  Here we have to know about recent Military activities which are parts of OBOR. China get success is getting Gawadar on leage from Government of Pakistan for 40 years. Soon Chinese nuclear submarines are going to deployed there. This is a direct threat for security of India. China has also established its first offshore Army base in Somalia. They says this is for countering Somali pirates and secure China's sea business routes but real intentions are something else. China is also working on establishing a Grand Alliance to face any harsh and dangerous threat from NATO. 
                                                                       Now we have to start thinking about a world without international presence of United States. China is very close to US in economic terms and is spending huge amount of its earnings on its Army, research and space program. China have a stable regime which is less corrupted then few years ago. OBOR will once again make Asia or specially East Asia as epicenter of world trade and tariff once again. 
               CPEC or China Pakistan Economic corridor is another important part of OBOR. This is a multiple sector investment in all fields in Pakistan. As China have stated Pakistan as its "All weathers friend"  China is proving her words. They have connected Pakistani Kashmir with Xinjiang region of China. Construction of eight line highway is going on. This will connected Gawadar to the Kashgar in China. By this road China will decrease its dependence on sea rout for trade with Gulf countries, Europe and Africa. This project will give employment and infrastructure to Pakistan. At same time few people in Pakistan are worried about sovereignty of their country. They have noted that China is working like East India Company. CPEC also includes inter connection of Main metropolitan cities of Pakistan and developing Gawadar as world class city. 
                                                    When OBOR is going on ground, China is gaining strategic heights in sea. "They are working on Maritime Silk route there." In this project they are connection Guangzhou with entire world. They have hired Chittagong port from Bangladesh, Hambantota from Sri Lanka an another port in Maldives and finally Gawadar in Pakistan. Some Indian security analysts mention this hiring of ports as "Ring of Pears". China is building army and navy bases near India. This is directly related with imperialistic mindset of China. 
             In a time when world is changing rapidly, we have to update all sectots of our Economy, Armed forces and another all institutions. As Indian authorities have refused to join OBOR and also questions it so it will defiantly going to make wrong for us. Our water bodies are not safe and our borders are becoming less secure. This is the time to make big change and developed strong foreign policy to secure Indian rights throughout the world. "This is all from me, pleas inform me for any advice, criticism and complaint."
