BLOG: What exclusion from China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ looks like

LONDON (ICIS)–Click here to see the latest blog post on Asian Chemical Connections. The world’s biggest trading bloc is being built, comprising 65 countries and accounting for 40% of global GDP. Being outside this bloc – China’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative – could thus have major implications for petrochemicals producers. This will be especially the case if a trade war develops between the West and the developing countries that make up most of the OBOR. Such a trade war is a very real possibility.
