GREAT SILK ROAD, OR SILK ROUTE: INTEGRATING STATES AND CULTURES

Ancient trade routes between China and the West, which carried people, goods, innovations and ideas

among different civilizations and cultures, as Rome, Levant, Persia, Central Asia, India, and China.

The Silk Roads were widely extending from Southern Europe and Levant through Arabia, Somalia, Egypt,

Persia, India and Java to reach China

the Silk Road was a key factor in the development of the civilizations of China, India, Persia, Rome, Central

Asia, Africa, Europe, and Arabia, providing political, economic and cultural interactions between the

civilizations and cultures.

The desire to restore the Silk Route was the main driving force behind New European Sea Routes.

The Silk Road represents a historical lesson of political, economic and cultural integration due to inter-

regional trades and cultural communications.

The political, cultural and economic unity of the New Silk Road may bring peace and progress for substantial

part of the world’s population, including the most unstable Middle East.

“The Silk Road boasts a 3-billion population and a market that is unparalleled both in scale and potential.”

Chinese President Xi Jinping

The Silk Road is aimed to create not just an economic trade route, but a community with “common interests,

fate, and responsibilities”, “mutual respect and mutual trust.

The Silk Road represents China’s visions for an interdependent economic and political community stretching

from East Asia to western Europe. http://www.xinhuanet.com/world/newsilkway/index.htm

THE SILK ROUTE IN PAST

The Old 6,400 km Silk Route, or a caravan tract, started at Sian, China, following the Great Wall

of China, bypassing the Takla Makan Desert, going up the Pamirs, Badakshan, crossing

Afganistan, coming to the Levant to reach Europe, Rome, via the Med Sea.

In the west, the Silk Road reached its peak during the time of the Byzantine Empire; in the Nile-

Oxus section, from the Sassanid Empire period to the Il Khanate period; and in the sinitic zone

from the Three Kingdoms period to the Yuan Dynasty period.

The Great Silk Route reached its full blossom under its creation, the Mongol Empire, which

realized the political unification of zones being previously loosely connected by material goods

and cultural relations.

Its political centers extended along the Silk Road:

Beijing in North China, Karakorum in central Mongolia, Sarmakhand in Transoxiana, Tabriz in

Northern Iran, Sarai and Astrakhan in lower Volga, Solkhat in Crimea, Kazan in Central Russia,

Erzurum in eastern Anatolia.

Trade between East and West also developed via the maritime sea route, across the Indian

Ocean, between Alexandria in Egypt and Guangzhou in China.

REVIVING THE GREAT SILK ROUTES

It is currently partly exists as a highway connecting China, Sinkiang Uighur Region, with

Pakistan.

Today, starting from Chongqing, a transportation hub in the west of China, freight is able to rich

Antwerp in Europe, passing in its way Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany.

The UN planned to revive it as a trans-Asian highway. The Eurasian Land Bridge is sometimes

referred to as the "New Silk Road".

Xi Jinping has come with a multiregional innovative initiative on the latest Shanghai

Organization Cooperation Summit in Tajikistan to revive a Silk Route economic belt, proposing

“to open the strategic regional thoroughfare from the Pacific Ocean to the Baltic Sea, and

gradually move toward the set-up of a network of transportation that connects Eastern, Western

and Southern Asia.”

The Silk Road is to be restored as a interconnected network of sustainable transportation

routes across the Asian continent connecting east, south and west Asia with the Mediterranean

region, as well as north and northeast Africa and Europe and Russia.

The whole idea is to restore the Great Eurasian Silk Roads as a transmission channel of people

and goods, ideas, beliefs and inventions, knowledge and technologies, providing economic,

political, social, cultural and territorial unity for the regions and states concerned.

CHINA’S NEW SILK ROAD VISION

According to the map (return to the title page),

the land-based “New Silk Road” will begin in

Xi’an in central China before stretching west

through Lanzhou (Gansu province), Urumqi

(Xinjiang), and Khorgas (Xinjiang), bordering

Kazakhstan.

The Silk Road then runs southwest from Central

Asia to northern Iran before swinging west

through Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.

From Istanbul, the Silk Road crosses the

Bosporus Strait and heads northwest through

Europe, including Bulgaria, Romania, the Czech

Republic, and Germany.

Reaching Duisburg in Germany, it swings north

to Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

From Rotterdam, the path runs south to Venice,

Italy — where it meets up with the equally

ambitious Maritime Silk Road.

http://thediplomat.com/2014/05/chinas-new-

silk-road-vision-revealed/

The Maritime Silk Road will begin in Quanzhou in

Fujian province, and also hit Guangzhou

(Guangdong pronvince), Beihai (Guangxi), and

Haikou (Hainan) before heading south to the

Malacca Strait.

From Kuala Lumpur, the Maritime Silk Road heads

to Kolkata, India then crosses the rest of the

Indian Ocean to Nairobi, Kenya (the Xinhua map

does not include a stop in Sri Lanka, despite

indications in February that the island country

would be a part of the Maritime Silk Road).

From Nairobi, the Maritime Silk Road goes north

around the Horn of Africa and moves through the

Red Sea into the Mediterranean, with a stop in

Athens before meeting the land-based Silk Road in

Venice.

the Silk Road and Maritime Silk Road as met will

create a massive loop linking three continents.

SUSTAINABLE NATIONS: THE DRIVERS OF SMART WORLD OF THE FUTURE

We are living in the time of big challenges and opportunities. The world as the whole of human civilization, as the socio-economic-political system of

humanity, with its global ecological system, is rapidly changing. It’s becoming smaller, more unstable, and more endangered. Everything is fluid and

fraught with volatility and uncertainty, the world population, world economy, world politics, world ecology, world religion, world network, world climate,

thus the world future.

Comprising 195 independent sovereign states, 60 dependent areas and five disputed territories, the world is going through the lasting global crisis,

when decisive changes are impending, when the whole world system is looking for a radical transformation in all the key spheres, sectors, parts and

systems.

The present world is a world of unsustainable growth, extreme inequality, overwhelming poverty, ill-gotten wealth. Its wealth is idiosyncratically

distributed between the few richest haves and the poor have-nots, with almost half going to the richest one percent and the other half to the remaining

99 percent, creating huge disparities in wealth and income, power and rights.

In 2013, the total global wealth amounted to $240.8 trillion. Share of wealth for the bottom half of the population was 0.71 percent, while the richest

one percent had 46 percent (amounting to $110 trillion).

The world's 85 wealthiest were worth a collective $1.7 trillion, while the same amount was owned by half of the world's poorest people, a total of roughly

3.5 billion.

Such extreme inequality has been ‘impacting social stability within countries and threatening security on a global scale’, according to the World

Economic Forum.

It poses a major risk to human progress, to building inclusive political and economic systems increasing social tensions and the risk of social unrest and

societal breakdown.

The Smart Nation Strategy is emerging in the quest for a New World of sustainable growth and smart economic, technological and socio-cultural

development and intelligent governance for international communities and states, regions and cities, and global virtual communities, as well as for

enterprises, industries and economies, local, regional and global.

Smart Nations are Intelligent Nations, Eco Regions and Smart Districts, Intelligent Cities and Green Communities, Smart People and Smart Life,

Sustainable Land and Environment, Sustainable Infrastructure and Smart Industry, Smart Grids and Eco Buildings, Intelligent ICT and Eco Mobility, Big

Science and Future Technology, Internet of Everything and Smart Web, Smart Financing and Intelligent Banking, Smart Health and Education, Smart

Security and Safety, Smart Government, Regulations and Standards.

Smart Nation is to became the engine and key driver of an instrumented, interconnected, intelligent , inclusive and innovative world of the future, 5i-

World. http://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/iworld-25498222; http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/CIT2011/files/SMARTWORLD.pdf
