At the recent G20 summit, the U.S. announced plans for the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor – a move many see as a direct response to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). But skepticism is already clouding the project's future. 🌍
Charles Liu, founder of Impact Asia Innovation Capital, didn’t hold back: “The U.S. hasn’t built a major rail line in over 50 years. India hasn’t constructed a new railroad in a century. So who’s actually going to build this?” 🛠️
While the proposal aims to boost trade and connectivity, experts are questioning whether the U.S. and its partners can deliver on such ambitious infrastructure goals – especially when BRI has a decade-long head start. The stakes? A reshaped global economic landscape. 💼
As geopolitical rivalries heat up, one thing’s clear: building bridges (and railways) is easier said than done. 🚧 #GlobalInfrastructure
