#China widens #SouthAmerica #maritime "highway" with #NewSilkRoad mega port as part of its audacious #BeltAndRoadInitiative #BRI
Over last 10 yrs, it has unseated #US as largest trade partner for South America
While rest of the world is struggling with longer shipping times because of disruptions in #RedSea & #PanamaCanal shipping, the first #Chinese controlled port in South America will be able to cut journey time to Asia by 2 weeks

#China's #BeltAndRoadInitiative (#BRI), initially consisted of land-based #NewSilkRoad Belt and a "Road" #maritime Initiative.
It repeatedly broke geographic boundaries, reaching into the Pacific Islands, the #Arctic and even outer space.
#China is not an #Arctic country— NO border with #ArcticSea nor sovereignty on under-continental shelves.
Yet, it defines itself as a #NearArcticState ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111630911378365445

Over last 10 yrs, it has unseated #US as largest trade partner for South America, devouring its soy, corn & copper

#Samarkand was a major #SilkRoad trading hub for more than 2,500 years. Now, the #Uzbek city has a major new tourism complex.
Wonder if Samarkand aspires to rival or dethrone #Mecca as a #religious travel destination as well:
"Shah-i-Zinda is Samarkand's holiest site," … the giant #necropolis dedicated to Qasim Ibn Abbas, cousin of the Prophet #Muhammad, who was responsible for bringing #Islam to this part of the world in the 7th Century.
#ShahIZinda

Guess where #China's #EV coverboys #BYD will be building their first factory in #Europe?
Well, it's going to be #Hungary. Not only the entry point for the #newSilkroad railway to the #EU, but also a country ruled by #Orban, a wannabe #authoritarian who constantly blocks majority decisions in the EU, happily brown-noses #XiJinping and who is #Putin's best buddy within the #EU. Quelle surprise!
For the ghoulish #CCP, #trade and #investments are a means of power politics - always.

⬆️ Sudden rush to seal up alliances between #US & arctic nations of #Norway, #Sweden, & #Finland
10 years ago, just before #Russia attacked #Ukraine and annexed #Crimea, #China announced its audacious #NewSilkRoad vision, aka #BeltAndRoadInitiative to #encircle #Eurasia from #FarEast to the #EnglishChannel in #contiguous land & maritime belts
5 years ago, China unveiled its #PolarSilkRoad vision to reach #NorthAmerica across #Arctic ➡️ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-arctic/china-unveils-vision-for-polar-silk-road-across-arctic-idUSKBN1FF0J8/

The #TransEurasian #NewSilkRoad winds through #Moscow, aligned with #Putin’s #RevanchistDreams that include former #IronCurtain countries
Not really new, the audacious #BeltAndRoadInitiative seeks to establish #CONTIGUOUS land & maritime routes from #China across #Eurasia
Only now, #MiddleEast nations #Iran, #GCC, & #ArabLeague joined China’s grand vision in hopes of reviving #Arabism, which hinges on eliminating both Israel & US #FromTheRiverToTheSea

Singapore's PM wants his country to become a major hub for China's Belt and Road initiative: "It could be the place where projects are evaluated and financing is obtained [and] where countries on BRI schemes arbitrate issues or find legal expertise."
