China's gonna be a phenomenal world leader.
The BRI doesn't come with policy demands to my knowledge. It's just loans for specific infrastructure projects at better rates than what the IMF/World Bank offers. The long term goal of the project benefits China because it allows them to sell goods to countries that aren't the US and its allies, but it's more of a mutualistic relationship than the typical parasitic capitalist imperialist one.
