Take Two: Why G7's Program for Developing Countries is Still No Match for China's Belt & Road_我的网站

一 |     　　8月18日，由中国科学技术馆与泰国国家科技馆共同建设的“倾听科学空间”（L.I.S.T.E.N Science     Space）在泰国国家科技展上正式亮相，吸引了众多观众参观。　　“倾听科学空间”是中国科技馆发起的“小而美”海外科普合作品牌，旨在与其他国家分享中国优质科普资源与经验，通过“资源共享、优势互补、联合研发”的合作模式，推动科学文化交流互鉴，提升公众科学素质。

二 | 2025年11月，首个“倾听科学空间”在南非Sci-Bono科学中心落成开放，作为落实中非合作论坛北京峰会成果的重要举措，获得南非民众特别是青少年的热烈欢迎。

三 | 此次泰国科学空间的开幕，是该品牌在海外落成的第二个项目，标志着“倾听科学空间”项目在东南亚地区的正式布局，项目品牌效应初步形成。    The Build Back Better World (B3W) program was pompously announced by the club of seven developed nations to counter China's Belt and Road at the G7 Summit in Cornwall in July 2021. However, little had been heard of the G7's endeavor since then. In June 2022, the Group of Seven decided to breathe new life into the project.,"So far, America has failed to build momentum on its plan to Build Back a Better World," says Francesco Sisci, a Beijing-based China expert, author, and columnist. "However, with this new G7 plan, which includes other countries, this momentum could start to be built. It is a question mark. Nobody is sure until things are realized. But you cannot just underestimate and dismiss this plan, because there is a large commitment of many countries with a large economy and this plan could make big sense.",The G7's grand design envisages laying a secure sub-sea telecommunications cable that will connect Singapore to France through Egypt and the Horn of Africa; creating a COVID-19 vaccine plant in Senegal; expanding solar projects in Angola, including solar mini-grids and home power grids; and establishing an innovative modular nuclear reactor plant in Romania, among other issues.,The US president pledged to mobilize $200 billion in investments in global infrastructure projects over the next five years. The overall investment, including G7 member states and private capital, is expected to reach $600 billion.,"With two competing plans - size matters, at the end of the day," says Sisci. "That is, China may be able to immediately finalize a lot of money in a short time in a number of projects. The G7 countries could be slower, but eventually they could build up momentum and they could channel much more money much more effectively, perhaps, in a much larger number of projects which could stifle Chinese projects.",Sisci suggests that the club of developed capitalist countries "may end up being more effective in many ways [than China], a smaller non-capitalist country.","China, but also Russia, by far, don't have the size, the gravitas to oppose even a divided G7, which is coming together because of this opposition to China or Russia-driven projects," he notes.,UK's Looming Recession is Self-Inflicted, BoJo and BoE are to Blame, Economists Say19 June, 12:09 GMT,G7 Economic & Geopolitical Hurdles,However, some other observers express skepticism over the ability of the US and G7 to implement the project given record-high inflation and cost of living crisis currently engulfing the states. The US, British and European central banks are struggling to tame skyrocketing inflation by raising interest rates to reduce demand, which is prompting recession fears.,"Washington claims they are going to be sending over $200 billion. But where's the money coming from and how is it going to be really used?" asks Thomas W. Pauken II, the author of "US vs China: From Trade War to Reciprocal Deal," a consultant on Asia-Pacific affairs and a geopolitical commentator.,He notes that previously the US Senate voted Biden's landmark Build Back Better initiative down, and for good reason, as Republican congressmen feared that the Democratic administration's spending spree would fan inflation and increase an already bloated national debt.,Pauken also expresses bewilderment over the G7's apparent readiness to embark on the bold international project at a time when the group is involved in the Ukraine crisis with the UK trying to keep the military conflict dragging on. "I mean, it's laughable that they have to think about [competing with] China at this time when they're on the brink of a major war in Europe," the commentator remarks.,Challenge or Opportunity? How China's Digital Silk Road May Change Global Technology Order16 April 2021, 04:00 GMT,Meanwhile, the G7's Global Investment and Infrastructure Partnership cannot be regarded so far as a viable alternative to the Beijing-led Belt and Road Initiative that has been implemented for slightly less than a decade, according to Pauken.,"First of all, [the G7] actually need[s] to make these projects work," says the geopolitical commentator. "Other than that solar plant in Angola, I don't see any of these initiatives really working.",In particular, China invested almost $59.5 billion in its comprehensive infrastructure project in 2021 alone. When it comes to crucial elements of the project, the West appears to be lagging behind. While the G7 is still considering building a subsea cable linking Europe and Southeast Asia, China kicked off its Digital Silk Road (DSR) almost seven years ago. The DSR's backbone is the Pakistan and East Africa Connecting Europe (PEACE), a 9,300 mile long subsea cable network meant to tie Asia, Africa, and Europe together. The network is designed to transmit over 16Tbps per fibre pair with its Mediterranean section going from Egypt to France having already been laid.,WFP Announces Cuts in Food Rations for Refugees in East, West Africa Due to Lack of Funds20 June, 17:13 GMT,Are Emerging Economies Interested in the G7 Agenda?,There is yet another problem as to how to make these Western projects attractive for Global South nations, the Asia Pacific expert continues. In particular, the G7 has been pushing ahead with a climate change agenda and the plan to cut carbon emissions, which is not relevant for the majority of third-world states which are still reliant on cheaper and more reliable fossil fuels and coal plants, he notes.,"You also have to deal with auditing issues as well as the so-called climate change consultants who go on the ground and on site," he says. "You have to prove that those infrastructure projects are not causing much of a carbon footprint. But most of the major infrastructure does require a big carbon footprint, especially in the emerging markets, because they don't have the same equipment or they don't have the same standards or labor laws as they would have in Western Europe or the US.",Many emerging economies, including African countries, are beginning to have a growing frustration with the US and Europe, according to Pauken. The reality is that Africans and many of the emerging markets want to focus on economic stuff, he notes. However, when the US officials come in, they're talking about climate change or gender equity, and this is not as interesting to developing nations, the commentator emphasizes.,"[Developing nations] want help on improving their agricultural production levels and boosting their energy capacity, which the Russians and the Chinese have been doing," Pauken notes.,Given all of the above, it is unlikely that the G7's Global Investment and Infrastructure Partnership initiative is going to actually happen, argues the geopolitical commentator.,"They're rebranding a failed policy, thinking it might work by using new names and new mergers. Last time it was separate between the EU and separate between the US and they somehow think that if you combine the two failed projects into one, that this will somehow succeed. That's not going to work in the real world," Pauken concludes.。　　中国与泰国是友好邻邦，两国关系源远流长。中泰两国在科技领域的合作不断深化，从航天探索到天文研究，从科普教育到人才培养，双边科技合作正朝着全方位、多层次方向稳步迈进。此次“倾听科学空间”的建成亮相，正是落实两国科技合作共识、深化中泰全面战略合作伙伴关系的重要举措。　　该科学空间在泰国国家科技展期间率先与公众见面，整体规划面积约500平方米，融合科学展示、互动体验与文化交流于一体。

四 | 空间设置了互动展教具体验区、科学教育活动区等功能区域，配备桌面互动展教具、小型互动展品、VR体验设备等展教资源，可灵活组织青少年开展互动体验活动，并支持科学课程、小组讨论、直播互动等多种教育形式。　　值得一提的是，除中国科技馆提供的核心展教资源外，双方团队还共同研发了9件融合中泰文化元素的特色展品。这些展品将中国非遗技艺中的科学智慧与泰国传统文化特色相结合，生动呈现了两国文化交流与科技碰撞的独特魅力，成为本次合作的一大亮点。　　中国科学技术馆作为项目主要资源提供方，将丰富的展教资源与科普经验融入空间建设。泰国国家科技馆则发挥其对本土科普需求的深刻理解和本地化优势，确保空间内容与泰国观众产生共鸣。

五 | 这种“资源共享、优势互补、联合研发”的合作模式，成为中泰科技教育合作的典范之作。　　科技展结束后，“倾听科学空间”将永久落户泰国国家科技馆科学广场，持续面向泰国公众开放。这不仅是一处科普基础设施的联合建设，更是两国共同推动科学教育创新发展的务实实践。其建成开放，既展现了中泰全面战略合作伙伴关系的蓬勃活力，也为推动构建中泰命运共同体注入了科技动能。　　未来，双方将以该空间为平台，持续拓展合作领域，通过联合研发展教内容、共建数字资源库、开展人员交流等方式，为深化中泰友谊、促进民心相通贡献科技力量。（陈硕）版权申明：凡注有“”或电头为“”的稿件，均为独家版权所有，未经许可不得转载或镜像；授权转载必须注明来源为“”，并保留“”的电头。    。
