The Belt and Road Initiative provides a new path for Chinese companies to go global, but with the increase of host countries’ environmental awareness and the urgency of protecting their own resources, Chinese companies will inevitably encounter national ecological environment risks along the route. At the same time, because Chinese companies ignore environmental protection in the investment process, causing environmental pollution in the countries along the route, people in some countries have questioned Chinese investment. They restricts Chinese enterprise investment and product exports by setting environmental barriers. Some developed countries along the Belt and Road also use environmental barriers as a means of trade protection to protect their own markets and restrict exports from other countries.
