Abstract

The “One Belt and One Road” initiative is fundamentally different from the Marshall plan. The former takes common development as its fundamental attribute, equality and mutual benefit as its principle and pragmatic cooperation as its orientation. The latter is essentially a political and security strategy. The United States initiated the cold war process with the Soviet Union through conditional assistance. Moreover, the implementation of the “One Belt and One Road” initiative will face more challenges than the Marshall plan. It not only needs to respond to the diversified interest demand of countries along the belt and road, but also faces a more complex political and security environment. There's also a lot of outside interference. As for the analogy between the “One Belt and One Road” initiative and the Marshall plan, it needs to be treated rationally and differently, and the two should not be directly opposed. Because from the logic of economic development, there is indeed a commonality between the two. The Marshall plan can also provide both positive and negative experiences and lessons for the implementation of the “One Belt and One Road” initiative
