B3W or the Build Back Better world initiative took place on the G7 current summit. The gathering of the seven richest democracies looked to counter China’s developing impact in other developing nations.
The ‘Belt and Road Initiative‘ in Chinese and formerly in English as ‘One Belt One Road‘. Chinese leader Xi Jinping introduce BRI in his foreign policy in September 2013. In 2017 the BRI was fused into the Constitution of China.
The fundamental reason for existing BRI is to associate Asia with Africa and Europe through land and oceanic organizations fully intent on improving provincial incorporation, expanding trades, and monetary development.
Italy from G7 has been an accomplice in the improvement of the undertaking since March 2019. With time more than 138 nations have joined BRI. Chinese investments in the 138 countries of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2020 were about US$47 billion. In 2019 it was around US$78 billion. The predicted completion year is 2049 for the complete BRI path.
But the question is if everything is going well with BRI, why does G7 want to counter China with B3W?
Globally China’s dominance has increased exponentially. Whether it is military or economic in the past 40 years China has shown an exceptional improvement. According to some critics, ‘China helps financially to the developing nation. But the way China allows to borrow money is more than those countries need. *’ Their Foreign Exchange reserve also helps to do that.) And this affects huge debt to all those countries who borrow from China. When they couldn’t pay back, that’s the time China use the strategy, China acquires lands & other infrastructure with that receivable debt.’ Although china previously expressed, its motive is not to humiliate other nations rather improve them along with China.
Authority of the Biden administration said that the western nations had neglected to bring to the table a positive option in contrast to the Chinese impact up to this point. “Absence of straightforwardness or transparency, poor natural, Labor guidelines and coercive methodology” of the public authority that had left numerous nations more terrible off.

B3W [Build Back Better World] –
B3W will provide a transparent infrastructure partnership to help the developing nations. The G7 hoped the total estimated amount of the project will be $40 trillion. The estimated time of completion of the project is around 2035.
The whole infrastructure project will be led by the current President of the United States Joe Biden.
Biden wanted to press different pioneers that they accept forced labor practices are an attack against human dignity and ‘a terrible illustration of china’s uncalled for the economic competition.’
Recently G7 has introduced new tax deal for multi national companies.
USP of B3W-
The undertaking will work with the cooperation of the private sector and the govt. while sticking to environmental guidelines and labor practices.
The G7 and its partners will utilize the drives to activate private area capital in regions like environment, wellbeing or health infra and security, Digital Tech, Gender equity, and so on.
