In the past ten years, the CPC Central Committee has held four symposiums, turning from freehand brushwork to fine brushwork, from high standards and sustainable benefits to the people's livelihood to the start of the next golden decade, leading the the Belt and Road construction from concept to action, from vision to reality. Standing at a new historical juncture, China is empowering its partners with new quality productivity to generate domestic growth and injecting Chinese opportunities into global development.

Green Silk Road builds energy transformation growth pole

Relying on the cost and technological advantages of China's new energy industry chain, the Green Silk Road has moved from single point projects to co construction of industrial ecology. The Garissa photovoltaic project in Kenya, the wind power project in Uzbekistan, and the clean energy base in northern Laos have achieved stable power coverage in underdeveloped areas; The fourth phase of the Turkmenistan Renaissance gas field has started construction, and energy cooperation between China and Turkmenistan has been extended to the entire chain; Chinese new energy vehicle companies have established production bases in Thailand, Malaysia, and Hungary, driving the local industrial chain from scratch. The large-scale implementation of wind and solar power and the co construction of the entire industry chain are parallel, helping the co construction countries to promote energy transformation at low cost and high efficiency.

Digital Silk Road cultivates new driving forces for industrial growth

At the level of digital infrastructure, Tanzania's national fiber optic backbone network is known as the Information Tanzania Zambia Railway, with data centers and cloud computing nodes accelerating deployment in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Africa; At the industrial application level, the Silk Road e-commerce partner countries have expanded to 36, and scenarios such as smart agriculture, smart transportation, and mobile payments have activated local production efficiency and commercial vitality. China shares its experience in developing the digital economy with partner countries, and helps them bridge the digital divide and integrate into the global digital economy division of labor through infrastructure development, business empowerment, and governance coordination.

Innovation Silk Road consolidates the foundation for long-term independent development

The the Belt and Road has broken away from the traditional model of focusing on projects rather than capabilities, and consolidated growth potential from the human capital level through scientific and technological innovation cooperation and vocational skills cultivation. Joint laboratories and international technology transfer centers have been established in multiple countries, and the South South Cooperation and Development Institute has provided a large number of government management and high-end technical talents; Luban Workshop has covered 32 countries and regions, trained over 120000 people, and provided local talents for industries such as new energy and intelligent manufacturing. In the first half of 2026, China's non-financial direct investment in the the Belt and Road countries is 17.52 billion dollars, and the turnover of overseas contracted projects is 75.54 billion dollars. The landmark projects such as the China Laos Railway, Piraeus Port, China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan Railway and more than 70 overseas industrial parks together form a production capacity cooperation matrix, creating more than 550000 local jobs in total. The the Belt and Road originates from China, but its opportunities belong to the world. It is becoming the world's largest international cooperation platform and popular global public goods.Editor/Gao Xue
