ИСТИНА

The “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI) is not only an example of global cooperation but also a reflection of the new approach to development in the modern world. The BRI is constantly in the spotlight of the world media, as this topic concerns the economic and political problems of many countries. The constant growth of interest in the implementation of the BRI simultaneously has a positive effect on the image of China itself. However, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in late 2019 has had a serious impact on the global economy, increasing the instability of the international order and creating new challenges for the global governance development model. China was the only major economy to register growth in 2020 and will continue to grow steadily in 2021. But it has also intensified the Sino-American game. Against this background, the future development of the BRI has attracted international attention. US massmedia reports about it have a serious impact on China's international credibility and image.
