Amidst challenges in Bhutan's economy, the country is seeking economic benefits from China, marking a shift in its geopolitical perspective. Nepal's inability to raise concerns with China may have long-term costs. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is facing challenges, prompting changes in China's approach. China is prioritizing small projects and renewable energy in the BRI. The BRI has enhanced China's geopolitical clout, but the challenges it faces will shape its future credibility. Bhutan's efforts to smoothen border issues with China and establish cordial diplomatic relations call for redlines with India. China's Belt and Road Initiative is pivotal to Xi Jinping's global influence and China's power projection overseas.
