One Road, Many Dreams reveals the true extent of China's ambition, analyzes the impact of the One Belt, One Road initiative and assesses its chances of success and failure.

This is the Asian century and China has a plan--to remake the world economy. Under its audacious One Belt, One Road strategy, China is investing trillions of dollars in hundreds of projects all around the globe. It's buying up ports, building transport networks and constructing major infrastructure. From hydroelectric plants to oil pipelines, China supplies the labour if needed, the raw materials and the finance, creating customers and boosting its own economy in the process. The objective? To challenge the existing economic and political world order.

More than 80 nations have already joined China's increasingly less exclusive club and by 2049, when One Belt, One Road is set to end, its number of members is likely to rival the UN. So far, China has exercised its soft power of debt diplomacy and financial might shrewdly, serving the planet's overlooked middle-income and poor countries. The rest of the world needs to wake up because the scale of One Belt, One Road is unprecedented. Its implications for the global structure of power are potentially seismic as the geopolitical ties between Europe and Asia deepen.

一条路，许多梦想揭示了中国野心的真实程度，分析了“一带一路”的影响，评估了成功与失败的机会。
现在是亚洲世纪，中国有一个计划——重塑世界经济。在其大胆的“一带一路”战略下，中国在全球范围内投资数百亿美元的项目。它正在收购港口，建设运输网络和主要基础设施。从水电站到输油管道，中国在需要时提供劳动力、原材料和资金，在这一过程中创造了客户并促进了本国经济的发展。目标是什么？挑战现有的经济和政治世界秩序。
超过80个国家已经加入了中国日益不那么排外的俱乐部，到2049，当一带一路即将结束时，其成员数量可能会与联合国相抗衡。到目前为止，中国已经精明地运用了债务外交和金融实力的软实力，为地球上被忽视的中等收入和贫穷国家服务。世界上的其他地方需要醒来，因为一带一路的规模是前所未有的。随着欧洲和亚洲地缘政治关系的加深，它对全球权力结构的影响可能是巨大的。
