The Digital Silk Road

The Digital Silk Road refers to China's initiative to enhance global digital trade and connectivity as part of its Belt and Road Initiative. It aims to improve internet infrastructure, expand e-commerce, and increase technological cooperation among participating countries. By developing digital networks, China seeks to strengthen economic ties, promote its digital industries, and increase access to technology in regions like Asia, Africa, and Europe. Essentially, it’s about building modern digital pathways to facilitate trade and communication in the global economy, much like the ancient Silk Road did for goods and culture.
