Rebuilding the Silk Road

This is a link to a YouTube video discussing China’s progress of their new initiative called the Belt Road. This Belt Road is both covers the same area as the Silk Road and is linked with it in the propaganda for the program. At the end of the video, the voice-over also discusses the military strategy China is using in a very similar way the Mongol Empire used the silk road for. China is creating naval bases in the Indian ocean at way-points the same way the Mongols built walled towns at way points on the land portion.
