This study is a corpus-driven examination of keywords in the news texts related to China’s Belt and Road project reported by China’s English news media and America’s English news media. Keywords retrieved from corpus are often taken to be markers of “aboutness” in specialized corpus. They may be “a guide to the writer’s evaluative position.” Some of them, when explored in more detail, help to reveal evaluative attitudes. In this study, two corpora (China’s news report corpus and America’s news report corpus) are built and the computer corpus tool AntConc3.4.3 is used to generate keywords of these two corpora respectively for detailed concordance analysis in order to reveal different attitudes toward Belt and Road project held by these two countries’ news media. The findings demonstrate that China’s news reports emphasize mutual benefit and reciprocity among the parties involved; while America’s news reports emphasize America’s worry about China’s development because they claim that China poses a threat to America’s national status and interests. This study can help readers understand different news media’ attitudes toward the Belt and Road project and help them think in a critical way while they read news reports of the same topic produced by different news media.

The article analyzes the consequences of Laos' participation in the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. The benefits acquired and possible losses are assessed. The construction of a railway in Laos, linking it to China, is the most successful Belt and Road project in Southeast Asia, which has a special place in China's strategic plans. The railway construction project is of great economic importance for Laos and in the future can stimulate its economic growth. At the same time, there is a risk of falling into debt dependence on China. The ability of Laos to meet its debt obligations will depend on the profitability of the project, which, however, raises many questions, since the project is more focused on the short-term interests of China than on the long-term interests of Laos. Whether Laos will be able to economically benefit from the construction of the railway remains questionable. But there is no doubt that China will benefit. China will not only strengthen economic presence in this country, relying on the support of the local elite, but also use Laos as a springboard to move deeper into Southeast Asia.

AbstractThis study examines the effects of China’s cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) on its goods and services exports to ‘Belt and Road’ (B&R) countries for the period 2000–2018 using a gravity model. We find that CBEC has a greater positive impact on trade in services than on trade in goods, especially after the implementation of the B&R initiative. Furthermore, as the level of CBEC rises, distance tends to have a lower (higher) impact on services (goods) trade, whereas the impact on services (goods) trade increased (decreased) annually. Hence, promoting the sustainable development of CBEC can lead to increased export volumes.
