“…China adopted the Belt and Road Initiative ("BRI") stretching from China to Western Europe, including transit states and regions such as Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the South Caucasus, and the Middle East. As a specific strategy for implementing the Community of Shared Destiny for Mankind ideology 142 , BRI reflects China's interpretation of international cooperation producing "win-win" outcomes, reshaping the global economic order via advancing cross-border trade and surging transboundary transportation infrastructure investment in developing countries 143 . China's patient capital, which operates differently from the Western state funding and built hydroelectric power stations, highways, ports, railways, and telecom, fills the infrastructure gaps in the developing world and establishes closer economic ties with China.…”

This article explores a feasible solution to mitigate the risk caused by unilateral measure to protect state essential interest it considers necessary, which is a noticeable investment policy trend with the United States and European Union adopted new rules against foreign direct investment (FDI) from 2018.The World Bank reported that global FDI shrank because investment protectionism under the name of security interests initiated by the traditional states vowing to the liberal order, such as the United States and European. Russia and China are strategic partners in cur bing the United States' hegemony power and pivotal players in reshaping the international economic order. It is possible to push the international investment law towards a more transparent and predictable direction by upgrading their current 2006 Bila teral Investment Treaty. The critical step is writing into an essential exception clause suggested by the UNCTAD and making it clear in their respective domestic foreign investment law that the national security review is subject to the pre-establishment national treatment principle and the non-conforming measure in the ungraded the 2006 Treaty. The suggest is feasible because of the following reasons. First, though the member States, such as Russia and China, to a treaty with an essential security clause have obligations to exercise their right under exception rules in good faith, the WTO Panel report on Russia-Measures Concerning Traffic case in Transit indicated that balancing a national security interest and the state's obligation under international law is challenging. Second, both Russia and China have developed sophisticated policy design concerning the national security review, which provides a solid normative framework underpinning such bilateral arrangement.

“…The right of asylum refers to the right of a citizen of a State who, for political reasons, requests permission from another State to enter that State for residence or has entered that State, requests permission to stay in that State, and is authorized by the Government of that State and thus enjoys asylum. In general, national law determines whether a person has the right to asylum [2].…”

The right of asylum in international law refers to the right of citizens of one country to enjoy asylum in another country, and in the interaction of sovereign states, the right of asylum is usually applied in the context of a citizen of a country requesting to enter another country or having entered another country for political reasons and in an emergency, and is approved by the government of another country. For a long time, there have been debates on the definition, establishment conditions and examination procedures of the right of asylum, and there have been many differences in the determination of the application of the right of sanctuary in practice. Based on the study of the Colombia v. Peru asylum case and the literature related to the right of asylum, this paper uses the comparative research method and the case analysis method to discuss the differences between the academic research on the right of asylum in the past and the present, and analyzes the problems and challenges of the asylum right system in the current international environment based on real cases, and finally provides suggestions for clarifying the criteria for determining the right of asylum in the form of a convention and formulating strict review procedures.

Urbanization and economic growth in node cities surged due to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), leading to significant environmental changes, notably in vegetation net primary productivity (NPP). Investigating the ecological impact of these urban changes was crucial, despite scarce relevant studies. We employed Sen’s slope estimation and Mann–Kendall trend analysis to study NPP trends (2005–2020) in ten Belt and Road node cities. The Optimized Parameters Geographic Detector Model (OPGD) analyzed factors impacting NPP and their interactions. Results revealed significant NPP variations among the ten cities, ranging from 656.47 gCm−2a−1 to 250.55 gCm−2a−1, with over 79% showing increasing trends. Since 2013, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hefei, Nanchang, and Changsha experienced declining NPP, while the other five cities saw an increase. Natural factors like temperature, precipitation, and DEM predominantly influence rising NPP trends, while anthropogenic factors like land use changes and nighttime light drive NPP decline. Land use changes, with 39.0% explanatory power, primarily affect NPP. After 2013, construction land increased by 117.7 km2 on average, while arable land decreased by 274.8 km2, contributing to decreased vegetation cover NPP. Nighttime lights explained up to 25% of NPP variance. Regions with high nocturnal light values exhibited more developed urbanization but comparatively lower NPP levels.
