This project costing 1 trillion dollars is called the modern revival of the ancient Silk Road. It used to transport cloth, spices and a lot of other commodities in both directions. According to Agence France-Presse, so far, France is cautious about China's "Belt and Road Initiative", while Europe is divided on it.

It is worth noting that Macron's visit to China will start from Xi 'an, the starting point of the ancient Silk Road.
