THE SILK ROAD BECOMES THE<br />
WORLD LAND BRIDGE<br />
The historic Silk Road has slowly but surely been catalyzed<br />
globally as new global trade routes and corridors<br />
have sprung up around the world. These infrastructural<br />
elements have the potential to work together as a<br />
system such as the World Land Bridge, forever changing<br />
the paradigms of trade on all levels from local to the<br />
intercontinental.<br />
At the heart of this is the One Belt, One Road project<br />
which has been initiated by the Chinese government.<br />
The core of the project lies the creation of an economic<br />
land belt that includes countries on the original Silk<br />
Road through Central Asia, West Asia, the Middle East<br />
and Europe, as well as a maritime road that links China’s<br />
port facilities with the African coast, pushing up through<br />
the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean.<br />
The project aims to redirect the country’s domestic<br />
overcapacity and capital for regional infrastructure<br />
development to improve trade and relations with Asian,<br />
Central Asian and European countries.<br />
Waning resources, growing populations<br />
and technological advancements<br />
will reshape our<br />
landscapes.<br />
This notion of land belt routes has been taken further<br />
through the proposal protaganised by Helga Zepp-<br />
LaRouche, with the project of the World Land Bridge.<br />
Extensive research between the LaRouche Foundation<br />
and the Executive Intelligence Review Agency has been<br />
conducted on the viability and potentiality for such an<br />
infrastructural project and the potential impact it could<br />
have on shaping the future of mankind.<br />
The work looks at the growing cooperation of singular<br />
nations, developing networks of participation such as<br />
BRICS, CELAC, Eurasia and other such deals between<br />
powerhouses such as Russia,China and the USA.<br />
The elements making up this global route have been<br />
under development for differing periods of time. The<br />
projects shown in the diagrams on the right form an<br />
important notion of the recent increase in scale of<br />
infrastructural projects and how this abacus of projects<br />
could come together to serve and facilitate the concept<br />
of the World Land Bridge.
