Abstract

The Belt and Road initiative (B&RI), or new Silk Road initiative, is considered as one of the largest initiatives by the People’s Republic of China (China) to develop new trade, infrastructure, policy, and financial and people connectivity with 120 countries along six economic corridors. However, the initiative is often affected by sentiment between countries’ trust, geopolitical and policy risks. This chapter aims to introduce a B&R sentiment index (BRSI) based on the 12 laws of international news flow theory. In addition, psychic distance, cross-national intermedia agenda setting power and non-egalitarian information flow measurement are included as sub-indices to enhance the index reliability and validity. BRSI aims to enhance information symmetry between the 120 B&R participating countries.
