China is shifting its focus in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to smaller projects and promoting the use of yuan. The BRI has been reshaped due to Chinese economic problems and external critique, positioning China as an alternative to the US. Despite the economic benefits, countries are considering the national security implications of involving China in their regional affairs. Bhutan, despite geographical and economic factors, is integrating China into its strategic and economic calculations. China and the EU are facing an economic slowdown and seeking to balance overseas investments and financing with domestic economic revival. The BRI is pivoting more toward renewable energy, and China aims to prioritize small projects and push for greater use of its currency through the initiative.
