Favoring the Silk Route to China
Introduction
In the old and legendary China the silk worm was cultivated and subsequently the product of this crop industrialized the silkworm. Thus the Silk Route was used as a commercial itinerary to be able to market spices, paper and porcelain, so it also served for a cultural, religious and intellectual exchange, both ways;The importance of this silk route was so that some merchants were named as ambassadors of the Chinese Empire. The great Chinese silk route that is a route of antiquity could cause strong economic and political changes.
This mega project has within its plans to integrate a series of economic corridors with large investments in infrastructure because it not only implies road networks but also the construction of mega ports and mega airports. This foreign policy issue is leading its president Xi Jimping, consisting of developing a strip of land corridors between countries, as well as a navigation route between Asia-Africa and Europe, this route has been called the new Silk route of the silk of the Silk of21st century, which implies a large investment of billions of dollars. In that context, China takes its geopolitical and geoeconomic claims seriously and so its president Xi Jinping.
Developing
He launches the project inspired by the old Silk route, making large multimillionaire investments to start the great plan called Obor, for its acronym in English “One Belt One Road”, (a strip, a route) that is to say an economic corridorthat would include the construction of roads, railways, airports, ports, data transmission lines and electrical networks, thus also include industrial parks thus increasing large logistics networks, this would be possible to deepen the economic links between China, Central Asia,Russia and Europe. In this great project more than 70 countries are immersed that would benefit directly.
More than 4,000 million inhabitants are involved in this route and these at the same time represent 35% of the world’s population that will be consumers of what the new Silk route will produce in addition to being supported by the Silk route by moving theDynamic axis of the world economy to Euro Asia. The great international strategists do not see very well this superlative development that China would have, so the Asian power seeks partners who are ready to develop these plans where cooperation between countries should prevail, it is in this context, it is that China presents its project as aGreat company where both win (Win – Win).
Some analysts think that the rules must be clear so that this Win Win does not become that China can win twice, making these particular agreements with countries it is necessary to emphasize that there are some doubts and it will be difficult to break the rules thatThere are regional agreements or commercial treaties. With regard to the concept of development proposed by China, it states that if you want development, it builds a road, but this is not so profitable if it only refers to road construction, if they should not be accompanied by industrial parks.
There are also opinions that these constructions would cause damage to the environment that in the long run would bring poverty so it is noted that these should be done within the framework of the “Sustainable Development Goals” placed by the United Nations Organization (UN). China since 1970 with its president Deng Xiaoping achieved development in all fields by putting order in all aspects mainly economically, for that he gave clear ideas that China’s economic conditions had to improve to later look to the outside, but this economic development began to be given, going abroad later later with President Hu Jintao.
Successor of Deng Xiaoping, saw that China began to have greater international interference especially in the aspects of economic investments, but it is recent with President Xi Jinping that China presents itself as an economically developed country and at the same time it is based on its economic power andmilitary. China proposes to participate in the solution to international problems stating that it is more fair and rational and that its country is on its way to achieving it. China also states that it is in a position to lead globalization being the main protagonist offering Chinese solutions to world problems such as the solution to the climatic problem.
Thus, China is energizing its participation in international organizations such as the UN in which it is presented as the third country with the greatest economic contribution and the second in participation in peace operations, however its borders are China and its extension of its extensionIts coastline is that its economic investments assume it as a security issue. In Asia, China is currently the one with the greatest commercial power and the one that invests the most in the region, also China under the direction of Xi Jinping has generated countless projects to carry out an economic expansion and maintain its worldwide prominence.
Thus, in 2013, the Franja and Route project that alludes to the old Chinese Silk Route is applied to achieve the political objectives and especially economic thus consolidating in a great power for the year 2030 With these objectives, theFuture of China’s economic development that had dreamed so much that at the same time guarantees him to maintain security. By holding investments with different countries, conflict risks are reduced. In the poor part of Asia, infrastructure investments are required, which is poor when making this investment its profits would be duplicated.
conclusion
Subsequently, maintaining this economic growth by 2030, sustainable development would be achieved. China conducted the Beijing forum with the participation of more than 29 heads of state and more than 130 countries where it proposes its “strip and route” plan convincing them to look at this project as an attractive option for economic development in whichto benefit both countries and China. Regarding the development of the Silk Route in Latin America, China states that the Silk Route in this part of the world is a natural extension in which countries will benefit with the construction of road roads.
As well as the infrastructure that implies the construction of industrial parks, ports and airports as well in this development of its Chinese project had contact and met with the community of Latin American and Caribbean states Celap, highlighting the participation of Panama which was the first countryIn making an investment to develop the Silk route other countries such as Bolivia have projected the construction of a bioceanic corridor which will achieve its best economic development.
