The Investor's Guide to China from Fidelity International takes you deep into the workings of the Chinese economy and its financial markets. Paras Anand, Chief Investment Officer for Asia Pacific, brings you a cast of investment experts working in the world's second largest economy. Hear how they're uncovering this rapidly developing market and avoiding its pitfalls.

Episode 7: China's One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative launched in 2013 as an economic strategy to improve trade connections through a series of massive infrastructure projects. Belt and Road now touches two thirds of the world's population and a third of the global economy. It has not been without its fair share of controversy though and in recent years strained geopolitics have hampered its progress. But could a post pandemic world with a greater emphasis on regionalisation - as witnessed by the recent signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) - give Belt and Road a new lease of life and fresh direction?

Paras talks to portfolio managers Lynda Zhou and Alex Duffy, and sovereign credit analyst Nathan Sribalasundaram. With additional contributions from portfolio manager Sumant Wahi and Shanghai-based analyst Alex Dong.
