La nouvelle route de la soie
Our bulldozers, our rules | The Economist
Intéressant mais pour la carte, je crois que The Economist planent en oblique à 2000 m d’altitude, s’ils pensent que la « nouvelle route de la soie » passe ou passera par le nord de l’Irak et le nord de la Syrie :) J’ai vu des plans sur lesquels, et c’est plus vraissemblable, ça passe plus au Nord : Kazakhstan et Russie, ou Caucase/Mer Noire.

http://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/cf_images/images-magazine/2016/07/02/CN/20160702_CND001_facebook.jpg THE first revival of the Silk Road—a vast and ancient network of trade routes linking China’s merchants with those of Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe—took place in the seventh century, after war had made it unusable for hundreds of years. Xi Jinping, China’s president, looks back on that era as a golden age, a time of Pax Sinica, when Chinese luxuries were coveted across the globe and the Silk Road was a conduit for diplomacy and economic expansion. The term itself was coined by a German geographer in the 19th century, but China has adopted it with relish. Mr Xi wants a revival of the Silk Road and the glory that went with it.
