ABSTRACT
Deficit in development is mainly manifested in development imbalance between the North and the South, loss of control over the gap between the rich and the poor, and loss of harmony between man and nature. In response to the imbalance between the North and the South in deficit in development, the building of the Belt and Road has taken addressing the development issue for the developing countries as its core objective, aiming at promoting new types of South–South cooperation. The Belt and Road Initiative has provided opportunities for many developing countries to participate in regional economic cooperation on an equal footing. China adheres to coordinated regional development and is adjusting its economic structure and spatial structure and adopting a new model of optimised development in densely populated areas and an intensive economic growth model. The concept of “green development” advocated by China is precisely the scientific outlook on development that promotes sustainable development of human society.
