In 138 BC, Zhang Qian, an imperial chamberlain, bade farewell to Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty and led a diplomatic mission of over 100 riders westward from Chang’an (now Xi’an, Shaanxi province), on horseback. Driven by ambition, Zhang Qian was dedicated to fulfilling the task entrusted to him by Emperor Wudi: to venture into the Western Regions, locate the Dayuezhi State, and persuade them to ally with the Han against the Xiongnu. He could not have imagined that he would not return to Chang’an for 12 years; even more unimaginable was that he would earn eternal fame as the first to “explore the Western Regions” and lay the foundations of the Silk Road. Throughout history, this road traversing the Eurasian continent has been referred to by various names, including the “Jade Road,” “Fur Road,” and “Spice Road.” Many goods integral to early trade activities circulated along this ancient route. In 1877, the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen bestowed upon it the poetic name: the Silk Road. Parallel to the overland Silk Road was another crucial Sino-foreign transportation and trade corridor — the Maritime Silk Road. On this maritime route, large quantities of goods were exchanged by ships, utilizing trade winds to navigate between the west coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. For millennia, the overland and maritime Silk Roads formed a global transportation network that facilitated trade communication and cultural exchange, allowing people to learn from each other. The ancient Silk Road fostered mutual exchange between Eastern and Western civilizations, cultivating a spirit of “peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit” at its core. Today, this ancient Silk Road, which stretches thousands of miles, is experiencing a revival. On September 7, 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a speech entitled “Promote People-to-People Friendship and Create a Better Future” at Nazarbayev University in Kazakhstan, proposing to jointly build the Silk Road Economic Belt. On October 3, 2013, President Xi gave a speech entitled “Join Hands to Build a China-ASEAN Community with a Shared Future” to the Indonesian parliament, proposing to jointly build the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road. The Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, collectively known as the Belt and Road Initiative, creatively inherits and promotes the development achievements of the ancient Silk Road while infusing it with a new spirit for our times and rich humanistic connotations. Over the past decade, with the collective efforts of all parties, the Belt and Road Initiative has evolved from a Chinese proposal into an international practice, transforming concept into action and vision into reality. It has moved from broad strokes to meticulous details, achieving substantial results and becoming a highly regarded international public good and a platform for international cooperation. In the past decade, Belt and Road cooperation has not only brought tangible benefits to the participating countries but also made significant contributions to promoting healthy economic globalization, addressing global development challenges, and improving the global governance system. It has opened a new pathway for humanity to achieve modernization together and has helped establish a community with a shared future for mankind. The first decade of Belt and Road cooperation, a long-term, cross-border, and systematic global initiative of historical significance, was merely a prologue. Starting from a new historical juncture, the Initiative will be even more innovative and dynamic, characteristically open and inclusive, opening new windows of opportunity for both China and the world.
