The View | Can China learn anything from the US Marshall Plan? You’d be surprised

China’s Belt and Road Initiative is different from the US post-war recovery programme for Europe, which came with policy conditions and an end date. But Beijing can still learn valuable lessons.

The global trade regime is an example of institutional overreach: backed by its developed-country members, the WTO has effectively reduced the policy space of developing countries to become rich themselves.
