Bound to / will surely (势必 / 必将)

Structure (condition) + 势必 / 必将 / 必定 + consequence

These three written adverbs assert that something will happen with total certainty, with no way out. 势必 (shìbì) presents the FORCED consequence that follows from a prior condition or situation: 政策若不调整，势必影响经济 = "if the policy isn't adjusted, it is bound to affect the economy". 必将 (bìjiāng) looks to the FUTURE in a solemn, almost prophetic tone: 历史必将记住这一天 = "history will surely remember this day". 必定 (bìdìng) is the more neutral logical deduction, "is sure to…", and of the three it is closest to speech. All reinforce, in a cultured register, the idea of 一定 (HSK 2): 一定 works everywhere, while these three belong to journalism and formal discourse.
