【Abstract】The strategy of the “Belt and Road” Initiative keeps with the trend of the time， and brings China and other countries along the routes ample opportunities of economic， political and cultural exchanges. During its implementation， the spread of Chinese is essential and indispensable. This paper will propose some feasible suggestions by analyzing and examining the opportunities and challenges for the internationalization of Chinese language. The “Belt and Road” Initiative， whose full name is “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Maritime Silk Road”， covers 65 countries in Asia-Pacific， Eurasia， Middle East， Africa， and South Pacific and serves as the economic corridor that stretches across several continents. Under the “Belt and Road” Initiative， the Chinese language spreads via the economic， political and cultural exchanges between China and other countries across the routes， and guarantees the smooth development and implementation of all policies that involve economy， politics and culture.

The Status Quo of Internationalization of Chinese Language
At present， Chinese is being learnt by more and more people worldwide， and the overseas spread of Chinese language is quite prosperous. In fact， starting in 1980s， the craze for Chinese language has been ever growing till the 21st century so much so that it seems that Chinese tends to evolve into a universal language. By 2004， there were no more than 30 million Chinese learners in the world except China. However， a decade later， this number has surged to 120 million.
The Advantages and Opportunities for the Internationalization of Chinese Language under the “Belt and Road” Initiative：
As the essence of the ancient Chinese culture， Confucianism has exerted profound influence not only in China， but also in North Korea， South Korea， Japan， Singapore and some other Southeast Asian countries. Moreover， as the sponsor of the “Belt and Road” Initiative， China is actively moving with the tide of globalization， and has built closer economic cooperation and trade ties with other countries. With the prosperous economic development， China stands out as the Economic Power in the world， which further impels other countries to pay much more attention to China and Chinese language as well.
