Summary:

As the global economy continues to change at a dizzying pace, China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a gigantic project representing a new Silk Road. The purpose of this case is to examine the similarities and differences between modern Chinese leadership and that of historical personalities like Zhang Qian and Zheng He, who played key roles in the establishment and maintenance of the ancient Silk Road. This analysis combines historical and contemporary perspectives to dive into the complex diplomacy, cultural understanding, and strategic planning that shaped both the old Silk Road and the BRI. Students will achieve a detailed understanding of China's ongoing quest for global integration by analyzing historical texts, policy papers, and geopolitical insights across time periods. The case provides valuable insights into the symbiotic relationship between China's rich historical past and its ambitious modern global objectives.
