conference center: To make the tower a success, both Chinese and Sri Lankan workers have put in years of hard work and dedication, according to Global Times China. The project will be completed later this year. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, Sri Lanka and China signed the Lotus Tower agreement in 2012 to build the highest TV tower in South Asia, with China National Electronics Import and Export Corporation being the general contractor. By then, the Lotus Tower will not only function as a TV tower, but also a hotel, a shopping mall and a conference center. Facing a complicated external environment for implementing the BRI, Chinese officials and analysts also pushed back on what they call unsubstantiated criticism of certain aspects of the massive initiative and argued that BRI principles of inclusiveness will draw more support and complement a troubled global governance system. Photo Xinhua Chinese officials on Monday hailed the progress in a wide range of areas in the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative BRI and the tangible benefits it has brought to participating countries, signaling a major shift in focus from building infrastructure to establishing uniform rules and standards for trade and investment.
