| 98 | + <p class="cta-text"> |
| 99 | + Launched in 2013, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is often |
| 100 | + associated with infrastructure, trade connectivity, and regional |
| 101 | + cooperation. But do BRI countries actually look different in the |
| 102 | + data? This dashboard approaches that question descriptively, |
| 103 | + comparing BRI and non-BRI countries across time and space. |
| 104 | + </p> |
| 105 | + <p class="cta-text"> |
| 106 | + Instead of reducing the story to one indicator, the site combines |
| 107 | + a world map, long-run trend lines, a country snapshot scatter plot, |
| 108 | + and a post-2013 change chart. Together, these views show both |
| 109 | + average patterns and the heterogeneity hidden behind them. |

| 255 | + <h3>Why this view works better</h3> |
| 256 | + <p> |
| 257 | + Your earlier “Data and Methods” panel was mostly text. This replacement turns it into an analytical visualization. |
| 258 | + The chart directly summarizes <strong>post-2013 change</strong>, which is probably one of the first comparisons a user wants to make. |
| 259 | + </p> |
| 260 | + <p> |
| 261 | + The bar layout also complements the line chart nicely: the line chart shows full trajectories, while this view compresses them into a simple comparison of change magnitude. |
| 262 | + </p> |
| 263 | + <p> |
| 264 | + Read it as descriptive evidence, not causal proof. It helps identify where BRI and non-BRI regions appear to move differently, and where they do not. |
