摘要

As part of its endeavor to build closer politico-strategic ties and economic integration with countries across continents,in 2013 China put forward an ambitious plan to revive the ancient Silk Road.China termed this brainchild of Chinese President Xi Jinping the “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI),which consists of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road.Geopolitically,the South Asian region can be seen as comprising important links between the parts of the project,a fact reflected in Beijing's primary commitment to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) linking Xinjiang's Kashgar with Pakistan's deep-water port of Gwadar,and its renewed interest in the Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar (BCIM) Economic Corridor.1
