Formation of the Eurasia Market Through “One Belt, One Road”
This is a good introduction to the building of a modern day Eurasian land bridge that will ultimately form a massive market consisting of 70% of the world’s GDP. The impetus for this “New Silk Road” is Chinese President Xi Jinping’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative that he introduced three years ago. Without much fanfare, China has been helping to build transportation and other infrastructure all along age old Silk Road land and sea routes as well as providing much needed funding through new China founded multilateral banks such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the New BRICS bank, along with various regional project funding initiatives.
