Abstract: In autumn 2013, President of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), Xi Jinping, announced the Belt and One Road initiative(BRI), comprising of the land-based “Silk Road Economic Belt” and the “Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century”. The essence of BRI is to promote regional and cross-continental connectivity between China. BRI has already hugely boosted trade and investment. To a certain extent, BRI have the inherent geopolitics characteristics. As an important strategy pursued by China in the new era, BRI will surely have significant geopolitical and strategic impacts, especially will play a role in reshaping the peripheral and global geopolitics. In a widely accepted form, geopolitics give us indicators and analytical methods about the reality of international relations, and provide ideas and theoretical support for strategic decision-making. Many researchers have been made much research in geopolitics and political geography about the BRI, with useful results being obtained. This review tries to objectively discusses the views and opinions of scholars about BRI from the perspective of geopolitics, including theory, motivation, environment, impact, risk and strategic approaches. We propose some future research directions on the basis of the analysis, which might address these shortcomings, including constructing some geopolitical theories to explain new phenomena and problems caused by BRI; improving evaluation study of geostrategic effect and risk caused by BRI; promote in-depth studies in the analysis of the geopolitical environment.
