Summary of the article on the Silk Road
Sample
The Silk Road, which extended from East Asia to the Mediterranean, was a network of ancient trade routes. The 5,000-kilometre Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor is a key section of this network. The Silk Road passes through deserts, mountains, grasslands and valleys on its way westwards.
In the 2nd century BCE, in the Han Dynasty, the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor began to develop. The network remained in use until the 16th century, after experiencing a gradual expansion between the 6th and 14th centuries.
Sample
At first, silk was the main item exported by China on the Silk Road, and then exports gradually included china and tea. Horses, wool, cotton and grapes were imported along the network. The network also served as a bridge for cultural exchange. Astronomy and mathematics were introduced to China, and so was Buddhism. Important Chinese inventions reached the West through the network.
Through these routes, Eastern and Western civilizations were connected. Today, such exchanges are continuing with the Belt and Road Initiative. Overall, the Silk Road is a crucial part of humanity’s common heritage.
Sample
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
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.
Sample
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 Xinjiang and Kazakhstan not only provides the Kazakhs with their basic needs, but also generates mutual economic benefits for both the countries.
