The New Silk Road

The New Silk Road, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative, is a major global development strategy launched by China to enhance economic connectivity. It involves building a network of roads, railways, ports, and pipelines that link China with Asia, Africa, Europe, and beyond. The goal is to facilitate trade, investment, and infrastructure development across participating regions, promoting economic growth and cooperation. While it promises increased connectivity and opportunities, it also raises concerns about debt, geopolitical influence, and environmental impact among the involved countries.
