I have returned from my trip to China, where we held several conferences and made numerous visits to Chinese provinces, prefectures and cities, including an autonomous region on the tripoint of North Korea, China and Russia (probably the safest place on Earth given it involves three nuclear-armed powers). The main point of the visit was to discuss the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the most extensive construction project in human history, connecting approximately 150 nations across Eurasia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania. Our Chinese hosts were more than welcoming, with impeccable organization and rather exhausting schedule, which was still well worth the effort given the things we saw. I'll soon post images and videos of our visit.
