Synopsis:
Chinese President XI Jinping has named it the ‘project of the century.’ Since 2013 China has invested billions into bringing the ‘Middle Kingdom’ to the forefront of global economics and international politics.

What China has baptized’The New Silk Road’ allows a pair of trainers to be transported by train from China to France in less than two weeks. But they also act as a vehicle for a wave of Chinese expansionism across the world.

In Gwadar, Pakistan, China is excavating a giant port, as well as a spectacular highway that crosses the Himalayas, in order to open the doors to the warm seas. At the limits of their Russian borders in central Asia, along a new railway line that serves Europe, Chinese entrepreneurs have installed special economic zones and casinos in the middle of the desert. Further afield than Beijing, in Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, the Chinese state has recently established a military port, a stone’s throw from the American and French bases, as well as building an ultra modern railway serving Ethiopia. In the wake of these movements, Chinese businesses are swooping down on east African markets, hoping to make the region one of the new workshops of the world.

Reviews:
“It owns almost 3/4th of some of the African countries debt.. in next 15 years, it has planned to invest $62 billion in Pakistan on railway tracks and few ‘not yet disclosed’ projects.. under One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative which was started 8 years ago, it is developing a strategic global infrastructure and started investing in close to 70 countries!!! OBDR better known as the New Silk Road, has laid down the 10,000-long railway track that carries all its goods from its southwestern city to Germany taking 15 days with 60 drivers taking shifts…. There is no product or commodity that this monstrous red giant cannot make or produce or sell!!!! Not only satellites, cars, or clothes but also any other country-specific staple food products such as halal meat that it launched in Pakistan!!! It is targeting to capture the electric cars market as it manufactures (Changan) cars that cost 1/3rd of any European or American electric car! This manufacturer has the capacity to produce 1 car every 53 seconds!!!!!!
