"In the past 10 years, over 3,000 cooperation programs have been running within the framework of the initiative, with the overall investment scale nearing $1 trillion. With railways constructed and ports opened, people's lives are improving and the initiative's endeavor is to make it better for everyone, something that the IMEC can never match."
"Such narrow-mindedness will only curb the efforts of the IMEC. As some in the Western media pointed out, unless the corridor passes through Russia and Afghanistan, it must pass through Iran, but is the US willing to cooperate with Iran?
Most probably "no", considering the US government's hostile attitude toward Iran. For too long, the US has been seeing anybody it has interests in as a "friend" while every nation that holds a different ideology is seen as an enemy. The IMEC too seems to subscribe to this ideology."
