China is promoting an initiative called the One Belt, One Road project that involves reviving the ancient Silk Road trade routes connecting China to Europe via land and sea. The project consists of the Silk Road Economic Belt focused on overland routes and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road that connects sea ports across three continents from China to Europe. The map shows many of the countries and cities that would be connected through these modernized trade routes.
