What could they do in Rural China. The North South Water project and Rail lines in Tibet and Xinjiang and some things they could do, but perhaps more projects in Central Asia as investments not loans maybe the way to better link China to Energy supplies and transportation links, and get around the Malacca strait issue while employing many workers.
If a rail line is build through Gilgit Baltistan link Pakistan and China (using switch back tunnels; Spiral tunnels) it could shorten the time it would take to get good to Mideast markets and shorten time to get raw materials from the Western Indian Ocean region to China. If China demonstrates this capability there are many parts of the world, such as Brazil that would want spiral tunnels to overcome their topographic challenges.
This is about more integration of the Eurasian landmass.
That's why China is now more focusing to developing the inland areas of the western China instead of the coastal areas of the eastern China.
And that's why the US wants to keep making those stories in Xinjiang, because they don't want China's keep integrating the Eurasian landmass via its OBOR project.
