The scenery under the cloak of the "Silk Road" is actually more vast than imagined

The magic of the "Belt and Road" is not only reflected in the popularity of a certain city, or the number of transactions is large. Its real news is that it quietly changes the way the world connects and secretly adjusts the underlying rules of the game.

High-speed rail is not just for rushing time

Don’t rush to talk about the big trends first, it’s better to “settle” in Southeast Asia first. Do you still remember the lively high-speed railways in Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia? It turned out that the journey of more than three hours was shortened to more than forty minutes. This is not only a time-saving trip, but a more explosive change happens along the line: factory buildings emerge and apartment buildings have buyers. People come in, logistics is alive, capital begins to flow, and information has also found a new channel.

The root cause is actually very simple: after the transportation dividend is released, the logistics and production radius expands. In the past, companies thought the setting was too far, but now they have set up new lines for factories; young people feel that the distance has become a "half-hour circle", and there are more opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment. On the surface is a railway, but on the deep side, it is the rise of "a new economic corridor".

What pays the bill is not to spend money, but to pay interest for the future

We are used to focusing on those large-scale project contracts, and we always feel that this is China's "spending money" to buy presence. But the reality is that these expanded infrastructures are like opening up meridians, causing blood to spread throughout the region. For the local area, money is a one-time job, but with the "platform that can run", it is the real changer of fate.

Africa has changed scripts: Resource values have been upgraded

In the traditional impression, the role of Africa is the source of resource output. The West has never changed its gameplay for many years - it has been dug and taken away, leaving a mess. But now, the script of Chinese companies has been over. The new port, which takes a railway, directly connects to inland countries, has greatly improved the logistics speed. Djibouti in East Africa is a brand new node in the throat of the Red Sea.

In the past, the world was transported by truck and it took a week to travel back and forth, but now it is done in one day. Commodity energy flows in and out in time, and the quality of daily life and national competitiveness soar. What’s even more wonderful is that China brings not only ports, but also communication optical cables, which also dragged East Africa into the digital age. "Web" is weaved, and handmade products, coffee and leather can also be sold to all over the world by young people. It is better to teach people to weave a net than to teach people how to weave a fish. "Infrastructure digital empowerment" is a combination of punches.

The "no ship port" identity counterattack in the heart of Eurasia

Don't think that only coastal countries can smell the opportunity. Central Asia - In the past few hundred years, the "external forces" of major powers have been fought for. It's different now. The China-Europe freight train has become the new Asia-Europe channel, while Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have finally become the protagonists. The "Horgos-East Gate" waterless port they set up at the border has turned the originally marginalized landlocked countries into the heart of logistics. Chinese e-commerce companies have even built overseas warehouses here, and the goods are "direct to Europe". For the first time, Kazakhstan's global industrial chain status is closely linked to the world.

Reconstruction of traditional concept of maritime power

For a century, mainstream cognition has always emphasized "Getting the sea power to win the world", but now, "land power" has quietly surpassed. Railways, highways and pipelines are intensively weaved, and Asia-Europe bridges are reactivated. Those inland areas that were once ignored have become hubs of the new pattern. This is not only a turn of economic flow, but also a reshuffle of the geopolitical pattern.

Realistic Challenges: Problems and Controversies Coexist

Not all stories leading the way are fairy tales. For example, the Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka is exaggerated as a "debt trap", but the fact is not entirely true. Most of the port loans originated from the West, and Asian capital became the support of repurchase. Now that the industrial park is moving, throughput and economic benefits continue to rise, it has really helped the local area.

New excavations in South America, "Salt Lake" also has a battery dream

The Chinese did not stop in South America. For example, the development of lithium mines in Bolivia is no longer satisfied with digging and selling, but further cooperates with the battery industry chain. As the global energy transformation trend is booming, Latin American countries have received the first ticket to enter the "heart of the future industry". Mode switching, from resource output to technical cooperation.

A new decentralized cooperation network has become bigger in circle of friends

We are used to globalization with the West as the center and marine civilization as the core. But the "Belt and Road" attempts to use the "network cable" of infrastructure to connect a multi-point, flat, and circle of friends to discuss and build together. China is the initiator, but the rules are determined by everyone. There is no absolute big shot of a strong man who is weak.

The truth comes from "hard infrastructure soft rules" dual insurance

Do you still think that the "Belt and Road" is just a road construction and bridge laying? In fact, it means that at a time when the world is intensifying uncertainty and the risk of decoupling is increasing, one stable "orbital" of cooperation has been built after another. The waterway has stopped, the railway chain is still there; sanctions are blocked, and the freight "camel fleet" is still there. New mutual trust and cooperation rules have grown from this.

The inside of the big change is the change of development concept

In the past decade, the world's fragmentation has intensified, but bridges, pipelines, and optical fibers have made the connections between the various places closer. The significance of the "Belt and Road" has long surpassed the infrastructure itself. It is a new attempt in development models and governance concepts, and it is the largest experimental field for "win-win circle of friends". It is not a game of simply transferring power, but also a powerful footnote to the future direction of the world.
