, and digital highways
under BRI frameworks.
\"The initiative isn't just about concrete and steel,\" notes Liu. \"It's created 2.6 million jobs globally and boosted trade between China and BRI partner countries by $2 trillion since 2013.\" European students now study at China-funded universities in Belgrade , while Italian fashion brands reach new markets through BRI e-commerce platforms
