The unanswered question: What are the business opportunities for Chinese corporations? The infrastructure initiative could create new markets for Chinese companies. Corporations from China will certainly be able to use the B&R initiative as a platform to expand their businesses globally. The reasons for these corporations to go global are many, including penetrating new markets for business growth, procuring natural resources, and obtaining the latest technologies and advanced management skills. Today, many Chinese corporations are some of the largest in the world and have, therefore, a huge amount of financial firepower at their disposal to ensure their global visions are a success.
