Dickenson Sy from the Philippines is majoring in economics and finance at Tsinghua University in Beijing. In this video, Sy shares his thoughts on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). He believes the BRI has brought new opportunities for the Philippines in transportation, infrastructure and energy. The arrival of Chinese tourists not only enhances the vitality of the Philippine economy, he says, but also forges close bilateral ties. With the entry of Chinese enterprises, the employment and wages of Filipinos have increased. With great hopes for the continued success of the BRI, he looks forward to a more prosperous and peaceful world.
