     By invitation of Governor dr György Matolcs, the
      Governor of the Magyar National Bank, the Central Bank
      of the Republic of Hungary, Professor Jones delivered the
      Keynote speech at the Multilateral Cooperation Panel
      moderated by dr Dániel Palotai, executive director and
      chief economist of Magyar National Bank, at the Pre-
      Forum Session of the Budapest Eurasia Forum on 29-31
      October 2019 in Budapest, Hungary. Professor Jones
      argued that China's "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) is a
      maritime success, an overland failure, because of chaotic
      political and topographical features of South Asia, Eurasia.
      Instead, Professor Jones argued that the current BRI should be limited to local traffic,
      meaning cargoes to and from Eurasian states, with an "express railway and highway"
      from East Asia to be implemented across the Russian Federation with its flat terrain and
      political stability, ending up at the same location in Central Europe: Łódź, Poland. This is
      a form of what Professor Jones calls "international separation of powers", meaning it
      should balance Chinese hegemony in the region, as well as being a faster way to ship
      goods from Japan and South Korea to Europe, especially if "choke points" emerge along
      the Yellow, East China, and South China Seas.

      tribal populations over the past 400 years, comparing the Navaho in Arizona and Utah
      with the Wampanoag of Massachusetts led by Massasoit in 1620, and their respective
      outcomes: Navaho have become impoverished by relegation to “reservations” several of
      which he visited, Wampanoag have interfaced with the general American population,

achieved prosperity while retaining their cultural identity, as have Native American
    tribes in Alaska that were not herded onto government “Indian Reservations”.
