Analysis on the Issue of “Asia-Africa Growth Corridor”

In order to counteract “The Belt and Road Initiative” proposed by China, shortly after the end of the first Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, India joined hands with Japan to throw out the concept of the so-called Asia-Africa Growth Corridor initiative to the international community. From the current academic research and analysis of the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor initiative, it can be seen that most of these achievements focus on current affairs reviews with relatively small length, while systematic research results are scarce. In view of this, this study will systematically analyze and discuss the related issues from five dimensions, namely, the background, content, formation process, reasons and evaluation of the initiative. In addition, the author will also discuss and analyze whether the Asia-Africa Growth Corridor will exert checks and balances on “The Belt and Road Initiative” proposed by China at the strategic level in combination with the realistic political environment, economic situation and other related factors.
