Silk Road Initiative

China is both a threat and an opportunity for Australia. Trade and security concerns have both negatives and positives towards Australia’s relations with the Asian ‘superpower’. In recent years we have seen how the relations between Australia and China have changed, through their radically different traditions. This has led to the idea that China is a great resource for trade, it has also led to the idea that China is a large threat to Australia’s security. This essay will discuss the rapid growth of China in recent years compared to Australia’s growth, but also the increasing threat level China poses, and finally the bursts of opportunity China gives to Australia. Overall there is arguments for both sides, China is both a threat and an opportunity

Inside every working anarchy there's an Old Boy Network. The internet is a great and popular invention that has changed, developed and improved today’s society. Yo-Yo Ma, once described the famous historical Silk Road as the ‘Internet of Antiquity’ meaning, the ancient internet, how and why would Yo-Yo Ma come to such a theory, the Silk Road and the internet may not have existed during the same period of time but there are similarities and difference to prove Yo-Yo Ma’s theory.

Beginning in 1998, Yo-Yo Ma one of the world's greatest cellists initiated the Silk Road Project. This project explored the creative, and cultural traditions of the countries along the ancient trade route known as the Silk Road. The land route extended, from Middle Eastern countries on the Mediterranean Sea to East Asian countries bordering the Pacific Ocean. A chamber music ensemble called the Silk Road Ensemble performed works specially created, or commissioned for the project. The 2006-2007 season was devoted to partnering with the City of Chicago the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Art Institute for a series of concerts, exhibits and other events. Professional workshops produced in collaboration with the Tanglewood Music Center

Confucius and The Silk Road led to the success of Ancient China. Confucius was a teacher and philosopher, born in 551 B.C, and his teachings became the basis for the Civil Service Exam. In the Civil Service Exam, people who wanted to be Chinese officials would take the test, and the highest scorers would become officials. About 20% or 1 in 5 would pass the test. Confucius also founded a philosophy/religion called Confucianism. The Silk Road was a trading route that traded copper, gold, spices and silk. It also traded religious ideas, so China was able to receive Christianity and Buddhism (which came from India) through the Silk Road. For example, in Document 2, “Confucius thought of a person taking an exam before becoming part of the government.”

Do you wonder how we went from trading with nearby countries to countries across the world.The silk road was the first superhighway that stared trade among other nearby regens.First, there had to be something to trade that other regens wanted for them self.In document A the chinese had silk,iron,bronze,gunpowder,and confucianism to trade and central asia had ferghana horse the chinese wanted the ferghana horse that central asia had and central asia want the chinese silk.In 1400 bce the queen of china was eating soup and a silk bug fell in her soup and she saw how beautifully the silk and demanded that her workers would make the silk and then werd got out that the chinese had a soft fabric and then other regions started to trade for the silk.Next,

Throughout the development of human communication, no service proved more useful than that of the Silk Road. It was a network of trade, employing travelers to trek across the world to buy and sell goods along the eastern hemisphere. This constant web of bartering and trading led to societies becoming more intertwined and connected with one another, creating a large social and economic trades. Throughout 500 BCE - 1000 CE, the eastern hemisphere experienced a series of changes and continuities directly from the emergence of the Silk Road. The eastern hemisphere societies underwent heavy population increase due to trade, but the purpose of the Silk Road never changed. Some trade routes that comprised the entire network include overland trade from China to Rome and the Indian Ocean Sea Lanes that joined Asia, Africa,and the Mediterranean basin.

The Silk Road was an exchange system the joined the East toward the West on the Eurasian mainland. This exchange included both overland and oceanic courses. The focal Asian kingdoms and people groups turned into the nexus point for quite a bit of this exchange which kept going from the third century B.C.E. to the fifteenth century C.E. Numerous items and other social expressions moved along the Silk Road and diffused among different kingdoms along it. In separating and isolating the examples of connection that happened along the Silk Road from 200 B.C.E. to 1450 C.E., one can infer that progressions and coherencies in these associations included items exchanged (changes in particular items and sway, congruity in extravagance products),

The Silk Road was a trade path that linked china in the east with Persia and Europe in the west. Much of the terrain was harsh having to cross deserts or mountains. Merchants would travel from oasis to oasis to get across deserts. Most of the trade was made by middle men and changed hands many times, before reaching its destination.

He was a huge libertarian and even supported Ron Paul. I mention his past in hopes of getting you to understand the kinds of criminals who are on here on the dark web. Now, returning back to the main point of this section. As some U.S. congresspersons called for Silk Road to be closed down, Ulbricht made a jaunty remark to Bates in a talk about how yet another national media outlet had said his stupendous blow for flexibility. Then, government specialists in Maryland and Chicago were on his trail. Country Security operators examining approaching mail on remote flights began seeing many deliberately wrapped little shipments of medications, a few Ecstasy pills,in envelopes with "StudyAbroad.com" return addresses and sheets of paper inside, asking beneficiaries not to neglect to give client input. By July 2013, the feds were so inside the Silk Road framework that a specialist could accept the online character of an individual from the Silk Road staff. Silk Road arrived at its deadlock on the evening of October 1, 2013. Government operators had trailed Ulbricht from his humble house to the library, and captured him while he was talking on the web with what he thought was one of his representatives, who was, truth be told, a FBI specialist sitting close-by. With Ulbricht signed on to his PC at a table in the sci-fi area, two operators put on a show to have a noisy local spat behind him. At the point when Ulbricht swung to watch them, a third specialist jumped onto his open portable PC, ensuring he couldn't close it.

Have you ever wanted to know what the silk road did to help with things people needed during travel well keep reading and you´ll find out.

The Silk Road was a trade network the connected the East to the West on the Eurasian continent. This trade included both overland and maritime routes. The central Asian kingdoms and peoples became the nexus point for much of this trade which lasted from the 3rd century B.C.E. to the 15th century C.E. Many products and other cultural expressions moved along the Silk Road and diffused among various kingdoms along it. In breaking down and separating the patterns of interaction that occurred along the Silk Road from 200 B.C.E. to 1450 C.E., one can conclude that changes and continuities in these interactions included products traded (changes in specific products and impact, continuity in luxury goods), cultural expressions and diffusion

And with this strong role China has been assuming, so has it been getting stronger by building military equipment competitive with those of the U.S. and drawing narrower a military gap it once possessed when compared to America’s armed forces. Furthermore, China has “displaced the United States as the world’s leading manufacturing nation” in 2010 (US Foreign Policy, pg. 414). Not a surprise since a majority of products purchased in the U.S. carry a label stating, “Made in China.” And predictions hold China as the world’s largest economy by year 2041 (US Foreign Policy, pg. 415). Thus, the fact that China has become an emergence matters. Since the dismantled of the Soviet Union, the U.S. was not challenged, when it came to power by any other competitor, however now, the U.S. dominance in international politics has to deal with a China that has the capabilities to lead the world’s economy.

As a person who identifies as a Chinese-Vietnamese-American, it’s a shame to grow up with only 2 sides of my culture. I’ve lost touch with the my Chinese background due to the area I grew up in. San Jose is the ultimate mecca for Vietnamese-Americans in the entire United States. From my experience, the Chinese population in my community is constantly overshadowed by the booming Vietnamese population. I feel as if it’s my duty to reintroduce the Chinese culture.

The Chinese must have thought that they were the most important people on the Earth. Natural barriers isolated them from the rest of the World. China was enclosed by a vast amount of seas, deserts, and even mountains. The Chinese are truly a mystery because of the complete isolation for the majority of our existence. Rivers produced more sadness than happiness because of excess flooding. The Silk Road was a mystery to the Romans and many westerners. Western perceptions of the world must have been shattered at the thought of undiscovered societies. The venture on the Silk Road was no trail walk; it was an adventure that took effort unimaginable to us.

First, the South China Sea constitutes the eastern approach to the Strait of Malacca, one of the “world's four most important strategic maritime passages,” and therefore contains the vital SLOCs between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.3 Figure 1. provides a visual representation of the SLOCs running through the South China Sea. “About 25% of the global shipping fleet transits through the region each year, underlining the importance of the South China Sea as an extension of the Malacca chokepoint.”4 That 25% traveling these SLOCs includes over half of the world’s shipping for oil and gas every year.5 Considering the volume of traffic passing through the South China Sea, a disruption of traffic along these SLOCs caused by a claims dispute or even armed conflict will rapidly generate negative global effects. Short of military action, challenges such as natural disasters6 or piracy require an international unified action (or at least, de-conflicted action) from multiple if not all South China Sea claimant nations.
