Biden Challenges Beijing with Rival to ‘Belt and Road’

“President Biden is planning a US-led alternative to China’s ‘Belt and Road’ infrastructure scheme in South America to thwart Beijing’s global ambitions,” the Times of London reports.

“Biden will dispatch a team of officials to Colombia, Ecuador and Panama next week in a drive known in the White House as “Build Back Better for the World”. It follows talks at the G7 in Cornwall to establish a scheme to rival China’s global investment initiative.”
