Argentina's President lauds Belt and Road on economy edit

Interesting interview. It is claimed BRI helps balance Argentina's trade? This 'source' I don't think can be used because Wikipedia has censored it under WP:RS. Thusly the President would need to give the exact same speech in another media outlet. But the U.S./Europe is not likely to carry it. Interesting about his claim though.

Some interesting details edit

https://www.euronews.com/2023/10/17/cash-corruption-crumbling-dams-thats-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-10-years-in gives some interesting details - especially that about 50% of the loans are off the public records... --Bonnerlunder (talk) 01:26, 19 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Map and Argentina edit

The current map at the top of the page seems to emphasize Asian Infrastructure Bank members as BRI members, but the more conventional understanding of MoU signatories is the map down the page. What do people think about changing this?

Additionally, Argentina is listed as having withdrawn from BRI. I think someone confused its intent to not join BRICS with withdrawal from BRI, unless I have missed something. User:Wikipetia4 (talk) 19:25, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

No you are right, argentina has not left the BRI, not sure why it is listed there. Hasayo (talk) 05:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Commentary edit

I know Epoch Times is not considered a good source; nevertheless, it does have an interesting critical article: https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/the-ccps-1-trillion-geopolitical-weapon-is-failing-5545377?src_src=uschinanoe&src_cmp=uschina-2024-01-12&est=vh3g81S39r9V3tTdVN5JZnSdqdHafPaQ3Vkt4YhRB4fZDD2lILxYv%2BJh6lJJIQ%3D%3D , 2605:A601:A91A:3000:FD81:5756:A4D6:A432 (talk) 17:31, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Estonia edit

According to the Estonia Foreign Ministry, Estonia did not to renew the Belt and Road Initiative Memorandum and the memorandum expired on 27 November 2022, so Estonia is not a member of this initiative any more. 2001:7D0:8436:5900:64EA:E0A9:35F2:E492 (talk) 16:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
