China and the Central and South-East Europe: common development, as tradition and continuation (China Embassy in Romania, 5 July 2012) As his Excellency, Wen Jiaboo, the Prime-minister of the Chinese Popular Republic, pointed out on the occasion of the Economic and Commercial Forum about China and the European Central and South Eastern countries, held in Budapest, on the 25 th of June 2011, the Silk Road has drawn us closer in the last 2000 years (The Economist, 4 July 2011). According to the Prime-minister’s declarations the commercial exchanges between China and the European Central and Eastern countries amounted in 2000 to USD 3 billion, reaching in 2010 the amount of USD 40 billion. Concerning the tourism, it has been obvious that in 2010, 200,000 tourists from the Central and the East European countries visited China, and more than 60,000 Chinese tourists have visited the Central and East European countries (The Economist, 4 July 2011). Concerning Romania, the bilateral exchanges with China meant USD 4.2 billion in 2011, a growth in comparison with the year 2010 – 36.27% of the Romanian exports and 8.24% of the imports (Vioreanu Valentin, 4 April 2012). According to the Chinese statistics, the Romanian exports represented USD 948 billion, a growth by 26% compared with 2010, and the Romanian imports from China were of USD 3.454 billion, a growing figure by 15% compared with 2010. The commercial balance between the two countries has grown by USD 265 billion in 2011, 11.1% bigger than 2010 (UK Government, March, 2012). According to the Business Guide-book, published by BPCE, Beijing, in 2011 there were great differences between the statistics data of the countries, mostly in the Romanian exports record; this fact is partially explained by the way of exports records in the two countries (FOB in Romanian, CIF in China) and by the fact that many Romanian products reach the Chinese market via certain companies from other countries (the case of the multinational companies that work in Romania), and their exports are not recorded as exports in the People’s Republic of China (UK Government, March, 2012). Helmut Uhlig mentioned back in time in the Silk Road, quoting two Chinese chronicles Ts’ien Han schu and Hou Han schu: “ during the times of internal anarchy and threatening, there existed, at the Chinese court, high officials, who had the duty of recording and who had to put down without any hesitation, falsification or adorning all the events” (Helmut Uhlig, 2008). The Silk Road is a century-old notion, imposed by the German geologist Ferdinand baron von Richthofen, in his introductory volume of his work about China; the first scientist who introduced the West to China on the basis of his own expeditions (Helmut Uhlig, 2008). In his introduction to the Silk Road, Helmut Uhlig uses the notion “the ways of the silk” – “ because we know there existed more than one, but a net of ways between East and West, like between North and
