Chris Devonshire-Ellis is the Chairman and Founding Partner of Dezan Shira & Associates, a foreign investment focused professional services firm he established 26 years ago. The practice now has 28 offices across ten countries throughout Asia, and was one of the first firms to research and offer services across China's Belt & Road reach. Chris speaks fluent Mandarin and Russian and is also a Professor of Practice at the Higher School of Economics in St. Petersburg.

 


Behind the headlines and vast investment figures of China's Belt and Road Initiative, there are countless human experiences shaping its real-world impact. Voices of the Belt and Road Podcast: Understand the Impact of China on the World moves beyond the macroeconomic data to ground this global project in personal narratives. Produced by the Belt and Road Advisory, this series connects you directly with the diverse individuals living within the initiative's footprint. Episodes feature conversations with analysts and officials who help demystify the BRI's strategic goals, but the focus remains firmly on the engineers, local business owners, community leaders, and residents whose daily lives are intertwined with these projects. You'll hear firsthand accounts of the opportunities created and the challenges faced, offering a nuanced perspective often missing from broader discussions. This podcast serves as an essential resource for anyone in business or investing who seeks a deeper, more textured understanding of how China's ambitions are unfolding on the ground across continents. It’s through these specific stories that the abstract becomes tangible, providing listeners with context that numbers alone cannot convey. Tune in for a compelling and human-centered exploration of one of the most significant geopolitical and economic undertakings of our time.
