To pressurize India
If there is something China is really being bothered inside Asia, it is India. The Silk route could potentially pressurize India from the neighboring counties. As China starts free trading with these countries which are neighbors of India, they would start building trust with China and this would put India to corner. So pressurizing the India is the main reason behind this Silk route corridor. What are some good deeds here? Though China is doing this project for its own it markets the project as an opportunity for the poor and economically backward countries to be the end product receivers. China is planning some economical clusters along the silk route which could be beneficial for the countries like Mongolia, Bangladesh and Pakistan. This economical clusters are jointly ventured by China and the hosting countries where the maximum employees would be from the hosting country. The road will also open doors for some remote locations and the trade and business could be encouraged in those places as well. This could increase the living standards of the people and GDP of the country. Climate Hazards – A serious threat The other serious problem for this project is Climate related problems. The Silk route has its major presence along the deserts of Mongolia and valleys of Kashmir. China is getting a lot of opposition from the international climate councils and also the people from different countries. The road is really get materialized then it would be a major barrier for the growth and expansions of trees and living in the desert and valley areas. This would affect the biological balance. The silk route has railway corridor as well, the passages of the trains with heavy goods might damage the fertile lands and also the pollution could affect the serenity of valleys. Is the corridor economically beneficial? The congress men of China are in ambiguity about the project success but China is not only doing this with economical perspective. Its notion is different. So though a trillion dollars of trade exchanges are targeted in the corridor one is not sure of its success rate. So one cannot really justify the moves of China, be it offerings of infra development to other small countries or this silk route. The things which are done with a good vision and envision is really appreciable. Let us hope this Silk corridor breaks all stereotypes and stands as a real mankind friendly and helpful project making the slogan true, “one road, one belt”.
