Fuck yeah, dude. China is pouring money into OBOR. And since they don't have to make any of it back, you're basically betting on the idea that a Chinese dictator-for-life hell-bent on dragging his economy into the 21st century will continue to do so.

This is going to show my ignorance more so than it does normally but... how do you go about investing into something like that. As I come into more disposable income I'm slowly trying to get an understanding on how to turn it into more relatively passively.

OBOR, in addition to standing for "One Belt One Road" is the ticker for a NYSE ETF that is traded on American exchanges. I buy it on TD Ameritrade.
