Abstract：With the advancement of the “Belt and Road” Initiative, more and more countries participate in the “Belt and Road” construction. The initiative has won the support and affirmation from most countries and people in the world. Besides, it also attracts the attention of more and more overseas scholars. The cognition of the “Belt and Road” Initiative by foreign scholars with different cultural backgrounds and political stances have been changing over time. In general, their understandings and evaluations are mostly objective. An analysis of overseas “think tank” and scholars research of and views on the “Belt and Road” Initiative and the grasp of their perspectives, positions, methods, contents, values and other trends have profound implications on the promotion of domestic “Belt and Road” research.
