“…In 2015 and 2016 the Chinese Premier Li Keqiang signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU'S) to develop and improve infrastructures such as railways, highways and aviation. This initiative is regarded as a tool for boosting China's foreign trade, especially with countries along the BRI [1,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. It underlines regional connectivity through ports and infrastructural projects.…”

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) under the auspices of the Chinese government was created as a regional integration and development model between China and her trade partners. Arguments have been raised as to whether this initiative will be beneficial to participating countries in the long run. We set to examine how to estimate this trade initiative by comparing the relative estimation powers of the traditional gravity model with the neural network analysis using detailed bilateral trade exports data from 1990 to 2017. The results show that neural networks are better than the gravity model approach in learning and clarifying international trade estimation. The neural networks with fixed country effects showed a more accurate estimation compared to a baseline model with country-year fixed effects, as in the OLS estimator and Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood. On the other hand, the analysis indicated that more than 50% of the 6 participating East African countries in the BRI were able to attain their predicted targets. Kenya achieved an 80% (4 of 5) target. Drawing from the lessons of the BRI and the use of neural network model, it will serve as an important reference point by which other international trade interventions could be measured and compared.

“…Within this context, political factors affecting such development of interfaces between the BoP and the ToP may be quite challenging, as indicated by the mixed responses to China's recent OBOR (One Belt One Road) initiatives with other BoP nations (Crandall and Crandall ; Selko ; Liu et al. ). The current trade “war” between the United States and China, as well as Brexit debates, further provides evidence that international politics influence business case mechanisms directly.…”

“…Significant value flows between the ToP and the BoP, however, require interface mechanisms, such as international political governance mechanisms (e.g., WTO, FTA, and international treaties) that define rules of engagements, infrastructural linkage mechanisms through domestic and global logistics, and business case mechanisms that are cognizant of socio-economic rules. Within this context, political factors affecting such development of interfaces between the BoP and the ToP may be quite challenging, as indicated by the mixed responses to China's recent OBOR (One Belt One Road) initiatives with other BoP nations (Crandall and Crandall 2017;Selko 2017;Liu et al 2018). The current trade "war" between the United States and China, as well as Brexit debates, further provides evidence that international politics influence business case mechanisms directly.…”

“…In most cases, bottlenecks are analyzed in relation to production systems (Kikolski, 2016) and transport route capacity (Chen and Ahn, 2018;Chen et al, 2019). As part of the BRI, the main goals of the initiative are related to the implementation of numerous largescale investments that are to reduce and/or eliminate bottlenecks in trade by improving infrastructure (Liu et al, 2018). Considering the level of infrastructural development in the countries associated with the Initiative, removing infrastructure bottlenecks may be the most important condition for regional integration and economic development (Zhai, 2018;Wen et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: The research aims to analyse mutual relations between Poland and China in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), assess Poland's involvement in this China-led project and identify the most significant factors affecting the cooperation between both countries. The multidimensional analysis is based on a set of criteria, which are in line with the BRI's focus areas. The article discusses the achievements so far, current challenges and prospects for further Polish-Chinese cooperation in the institutional, logistics and infrastructural, trade, investment and financial dimensions, and people-to-people contacts as well. Design/Methodology/Approach: Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to achieve the above-mentioned objectives. Findings: The authors identify and assess the main areas of Poland's activity in the BRI. They also point out potential solutions to the main problems related to Poland benefiting by this project. Practical Implications: Solutions falling within the scope of logistics and infrastructure can be quickly implemented and in a short time give an answer to the bottleneck problem within the BRI. Originality/Value: The article provides a comprehensive analysis of Poland-China relations in the context of the BRI and Poland's engagement in the BRI. In this paper, the authors describe institutional, logistics and infrastructural, trade, investment, financial and people-topeople relations between China and Poland.
