China as one of leading actors in international communities and development, has adopted this concept in their domestic and international investment. China succeeded in implementing the green infrastructure in many parts of the world including Southeast Asian region, while many countries do not able to commit to the concept in their real infrastructure development strategies.

This paper aims to discuss China^s investment through BRI and its influence of green architecture in the ASEAN member countries^ development of infrastructure.
