What does India think about China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)? Dr. Tanvi Madan, Senior Fellow and Director of the India Project at the Brookings Institution, says, "India has engaged economically with China for a number of years, and particularly since 2000. What you did see is India pausing and very vocally opposing the Belt and Road initiative...What India saw and laid out as the problems with the One Belt, One Road, or BRI, from its own perspective, was that it saw this initiative not as a not as a regional initiative, that was demand-driven according to the needs of the countries where these projects were being done. It saw this from India's perspective problematically as a national initiative that was supply-driven, that is driven by China's desire to, for example, export some of its capacity that it had in terms of steel, in terms of financing, that it wanted to get returns, and then wanted to even get a foothold in a number of countries."
