“Silk Road”: new projects and opportunities for revival

Abstract

Abstract In today's world, China occupies important, if not leading, positions in its region in various industrial sectors, and therefore the question of the possibilities of delivering a very large amount of Chinese products, including ways and means of delivering goods from China to Europe and back, has now become very serious. The last decade, China has actively proclaimed a policy of openness and carries out a huge number of various reforms. Thanks to this, China was able to sign many documents with European countries on cooperation in various fields - economy, trade, science, technology, culture, and in the field of civil aviation, road, rail, and maritime transport. In addition, directly with the EU - general trade agreements. Such cooperation leads to a change in the structure of trade and economic relations, because of which the customs relations of the PRC with members of the Eurasian Economic Cooperation (EAEU) change. The article is devoted to the Chinese project "New Silk Road". The cargo flows of the project “New Silk Road” investigated. It was determined that sea freight is the most profitable way to deliver goods from China to Europe. The transit channel between Europe and Asia is consider as a way to develop an international logistics system in the territories adjacent to Asia and Europe.
