Abstract

When entering the 21st century, China’s spectacular progress, especially in the economic field, has led to the emergence of the opinion that the 21st century is the ‘Chinese Century.’ Xi Jinping, who started leading the PRC in 2012, seemed to want to emphasize that opinion and started by propagating the ‘Chinese Dream.’ A year later, Xi floated the idea of revitalizing the Silk Road, which later developed into the Belt-Road Initiative (BRI). BRI is projected to connect China directly to three of the seven continents in the world, in which infrastructure development and trade cooperation are the primary concerns. This article uses a historical approach to discuss how the BRI can be seen as a process of completing Xi Jinping’s historical tasks. The review focuses on tracing the sustainability of the PRC leaders’ policies and the BRI policy’s operational basis. From there, it was revealed that after the PRC succeeded in developing the rhetoric of the presence of the ‘Chinese Century,’ the BRI, with all its implications, was a process to realize the Chinese dream, formulated in the Liangge Yibai target. The whole process is Xi Jinping’s historical task that must be completed.
