China is nothing if not ambitious, and ambition is a theme that suffuses the articles in this issue of China Currents. Starting with perhaps the most ambitious development plan in human history, Yawei Liu examines the many potential problems and pitfalls of the One Belt, One Road initiative that is the centerpiece of President Xi Jinping\u2019s ambitions.
