In 2021，China and countries along the Belt and Road worked together to fight against the epidemic，and deepened pragmatic cooperation to spur economic recovery. The Belt and Road investment cooperation has made headway against the trend with a serious of groundbreaking results，showing strong resilience and vitality. But at the same time，the COVID-19 epidemic has made the investment environment worse in countries along the Belt and Road，hindering the investment process and magnifying the investment risks. Unilateralism practiced by some developed countries also impedes the high-quality progress of the Belt and Road Initiative. China’s investment in countries along the Belt and Road has problems such as insufficient investment guarantees，low completion rate of mergers and acquisitions，worrisome profitability，and lagging bilateral investment agreements. For these reasons，China needs to adjust its thinking and approach according to the new political and economic landscape. This involves strengthening planning and guidance，improving the investment guarantee system，perfecting the government cooperation mechanism，introducing an innovative development model，practicing the concept of green development，so as to create mutually beneficial，trusted，inclusive，innovative and win-win partnerships，and promote the Belt and Road Initiative with high quality in a precise manner.
