今年3月,在莱茵河畔的德国港口城市杜伊斯堡,中国国家主席习近平在三声锣响中迎接一趟货运列车到站。他发表讲话,呼吁德国和中国共同建设一条连接两国经济的“新丝绸之路”。习近平此举意在邀请德国参与一个战略性的重点项目。自2013年上任以来,习近平多次在出访中阐述在中国和欧洲之间建设一条新丝绸之路的构想。在访问斯里兰卡并出席一个投资额15亿美元的港口项目开工仪式时,他倡议建设“21世纪海上丝绸之路”。习近平提出这些雄伟构想的一个动机在于,他希望加强中国内地,特别是西部地区与欧洲的联系。假如这些倡议成真,那或许将相当于自中国20 In March this year, in the German port city of Duisburg on the Rhine, Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed a freight train to the station during the third gong sound. He delivered a speech calling on Germany and China to jointly build a “new Silk Road” connecting the economies of the two countries. Xi Jinping’s move is intended to invite Germany to participate in a strategic focus of the project. Since taking office in 2013, Xi Jinping has made many speeches during his trip on the idea of ​​building a new Silk Road between China and Europe.

If these initiatives come true, that would probably be the equivalent of China20
