This comprehensive book delves into the multifaceted aspects of China's Belt and Road Initiative, encompassing its connectivity, industrial, and spatial development, as well as the prevailing economic and trade patterns within this synergistic framework. While existing research on the value circulation between China and developed economies has made significant strides, the book specifically focuses on the exchange between countries and regions, particularly those in developing stages. China and other developing nations share a close connection in terms of production value circulation, serving as the foundation for long-term stability and sustainable development. Consequently, this book offers a theoretical and empirical exploration of the Belt and Road Initiative, shedding light on the interplay between industrial and spatial synergy.

The book raises several thought-provoking questions, including whether there is an inherent synergy between industrial and geographic allocation. It analyzes the necessity of coordinated development from an industry and space perspective, delving into the relationship between industry, economic growth, and fluctuations. By examining historical evolution and current circumstances, the book explores the pathways to realizing synergy in industrial and spatial development. It sheds light on the mechanisms of industry and spatial diffusion, as well as the impact of synergy development. Furthermore, the book provides policy implications for sustainable development through the Belt and Road Initiative, offering valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of this global initiative.
