As his signature project, Xi’s “One-Belt and One-Road” plan intends to connect China with Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America by exploring energy sources, constructing modern transportation, and building new channels for trade, finance, and communication. The different approaches between Mao and Xi’s strategy is a shift of the active defense from engaging in land wars to preparing naval warfare. The core of Mao Zedong’s

Looking at some of those retellings to look at preserved or altered detail fascinates her as it shows shifts in the purpose/message of the retelling. Through this project, she hopes to look at even more adaptions/retellings of Austen’s works and the messages they contain. Abigail Kunkel is an
