Discussion

Shared Cultures
Shared Heritage
Shared Responsibility
19
Discussion
Discuss the following questions with your partners.
The Silk Road Economic Belt initiative was first brought up in 2013. What impact is the initiative having on the countries along the Silk Road?
20
Possible answer
The Silk Road Economic Belt initiative has assisted many countries in developing transport infrastructure. For example, in Kenya, China helped build the country’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). This development is one of the most significant projects in Kenya since it became independent in 1963. The SGR facilitates local industries, as well as trade between Africa and China.
Discussion
21
Energy is another way the initiative has impacted countries along its path. A hydropower station project in Pakistan was approved and operated by a Chinese company. After its completion, it will generate enough electric power to provide for the Pakistani people’s daily use and also assist in the nation’s economic development.
Discussion
22
The initiative also promotes trade between the countries on its routes. For example, Kazakhstan, a landlocked country, struggles to grow vegetables because of its very cold weather. The Belt helps enhance cooperation between Kazakhstan and the north-western Chinese Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. They are thus able to do more cross-border trade in vegetables than before. The trade between the two countries not only provides the Kazakhs with their basic needs, but also generates mutual economic benefits for both the countries.
