This is a book on the Belt and Road Initiative, written from an unusual perspective &#x2014; it is written by someone who was born in India but raised in Singapore; who has never spent a day of schooling in the greater China (Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) but has Chinese heritage; who eventually built a long and distinguished career in the West. With such an atypical background, he took an off-the-beaten-path approach by asking the fundamental question of how such an important initiative, began entirely by China, can deeply impact and transform the millennium mindset of Chinese.Such a transformation of the Chinese shall render a new definition of what a 'powerful nation' in the 21st century should be, for the betterment of humanity. This is unlike the one made by Western civilization for many centuries since the Renaissance days. Three main outcomes of the BRI have been embedded directly or indirectly throughout the book: Supercontinent, Neo-Renaissance and Cultural Communications. The author felt that these three outcomes are the possible mitigation for the world in the 21st century, facing existential challenges.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>About the Author</li><li>Acknowledgement</li><li>Foreword</li><li>Preface</li><li>Introduction: Genesis of My BRI Fascination and Engagement</li><li>Supercontinent: An Amalgamation of East and West</li><li>Neo-Renaissance: Humanity's Possibility to 'Think-Out-Of-The-Box' to Mitigate Existential Challenges</li><li>Cultural Communication: An Ultimate Challenge of Chinese Culture</li><li>Case Study 1 of 'Cultural Communication': A Conversation with Lee Hong-Fah (&#26446;&#27946;&#21457;), the Modern-Day Zhang Qian (&#24352;&#39582;)</li><li>Case Study 2 of 'Cultural Communication': Search of Jewish Heritage in China</li><li>Case Study 3 of 'Cultural Communication': 'Small Nations' Like Canada Need to Understand <i>Realpolitik</i>, Especially Now!</li><li>Case Study 4 of 'Cultural Communication': 'Constructing' a True Supercontinent</li><li>Case Study 5 of 'Cultural Communication': Reflection on the 'Re-Visit' to Millennium Hanoi </li><li>Imminent Challenges of the Belt and Road Initiative</li><li>Epilogue</li><li>Appendix A: Belt and Road Initiative (BRI): China's Mindset Millennium Transformation</li><li>Appendix C: A Glimpse of Russian Scientific Prowess Through the Late Vitaly Ginzburg, the 2003 Nobel Laureate</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Students, professionals and general public interested in the belt and road initiative of China.Belt and Road Initiative;Supercontinent;Neo-Renaissance;Cultural Communications;Chinese Heritage;Singapore;Xi Jinping;Donald Trump;Western Civilization;Eastern Civilization;Reform and Opening Up;Lee Hsien-Loong;Realpolitik;Mindset Transformation;The World is Flat;Zhang Qian;Field Research;Central Asia;Southeast Asia;India00
