Click here to listen to the show

In ancient times China’s Han Dynasty established a network of trading and commercial routes we know today as the Silk Roads. The system existed from Year 130 BCE until the 15th century. That term was coined in the 19th century by the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen. 

Flash forward to our 21st century. In Year 2013 Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed the Belt and Road Initiative -the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. 

Like its ancient predecessor, this modern rendition covers differing geographic regions, nations and civilizations. It provides new energy to the world economy, providing a Chinese-inspired platform that is open and inclusive for global collaboration and interaction not seen before. 

Please tune-in to the upcoming December 23 broadcast of Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim. I’ll be welcoming Ms. Ginger Jiang representing the Silk Road Chamber of International Commerce (SRCIC). 

I want to express my thanks to Mr. Jordi Yang, Publicity and Planning of the SRCIC, for his valuable efforts in connecting us. 

In Year 2015 the SRCIC was founded in Hong Kong. Its founding was a result of joint efforts to answer the calls for the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as to advance and promote the SRCIC’s members growth by offering trade and investment opportunities. 

SRCIC is gaining support from China and the international business community in its efforts to facilitate peaceful cooperation, opens, inclusiveness, mutual learning and benefits. 

SRCIC also serves as a bridge between corporations and governments through its members, further promoting a resilient world economy and the construction of the Belt and Road.
