Can you describe a little bit about the Silk Road and the tradition and history behind it there.
Figured the least I don't really see the dell took a soldier all she's sure she actually called the yellow Jaguar for all that hold that you think that multiple i'm a little then look at me and actually actually people at yet english is reporting for 2 were in Yankees will have got hold of the whole nationally some water there's a lot of musicians with my apology summer service and that and no one misses you which holds I feel that it was a lot of the meeting yet numbers little love to see the least for her to alternative Georgia to take home pay per year.if should hear that is among people he isn't that the old Silk Road used to be a commercial route and this concept of the Silk Road only appeared later in the 19th century was actually brought forward by a german scholar nowadays though the Silk Road it seem more as China's business card as a chocolate silk with symbol of cultural symbols today and that has been that has been revived in order to follow with as a plan for the one dollar rose so why are the leaders of China bringing back the image of the Silk Road today and what is its ultimate purpose for china and the world and that's really not gonna wish me and she food goes digital channels haha haha i took a moment from which shit out your body then you'll do opinion shouldn't bother you that your colleague launches severe that it was GTG check your box that holds the holiday off but nothing it's not always that come from war and that boys are actually heated a whole top you should have to the board at me with a guy that she got days off happy we're actually here just like that is you talk for the shore to weathering all right now where people gather the top well with silk road as the instruments that and being one belt one Road initiative all of this was before we get by the Chinese five Chinese leaders as a way to respond to many cultural and economical needs in the region of course there are families are China's only but most importantly I think it has a certain set its strategy that is meant to responsibilities of all countries developing and devil of in this region and this symbol is long assemble that China can identify with but it's all so simple that other countries are also related and have been part of the historical silkroad can also identify with so it's an important symbol so what is your role personally in understanding and communicating the meaning of the Silk Road and the what is the role of beijing mode the in this process for the plan general history like the shots because you'll be able to gain yes people from yesterday's you should be that way but from your honesty the just social are what my mother also not sure the manatee the cumulative of ocean here a little sooner you should get it is a you know she's hard to get because she's a little half our country I could have my number thank you Lord of our times after don't know what went wrong shit on German whole home.
Daughter told them that the couple YouTube channel for more than here it was just something that is that you saw today I don't want you should do it comes through the role of more in introducing and explaining the revival of the Silk Road as well as a new one document no strategy we go it is our responsibility to introduce he sings to the outside world using languages from the outside world from one front and on the other hand as well to reintroduce these things to the Chinese people and to make sure that everybody is on level of quality of footage equality we mostly worked from the perspective of humanities and culture and we try to select outstanding cultural aspects in China that might that we think are of interest for the outside world and to help me out that will understand better understand China's its way in this fashion through hell.
China's story so you're involved in the production of video and audio and conferences and translation what are the specific activities that your group engages in what should be in ohio with you can I are you fine yeah look at the highest woman you got 1,100 music power you are compared to the tomorrow my daughter didn't see that you're all well but however here.
Here you go with that tongue here locate you not that I'm your average is getting here for ya Nadal tell me all vegetation is yet young kids on a politician changer 14 games about some others if community portal 2 and on the issues that you're done together together together.
Yes the whole problem is resolved but we get a little more some brothers exhaust just should get in a fact of life back into shoes.
Well as listen and says other than the things that you have for mentioned we also do a lot in terms of cultural communication or we will participate in conferences in training in meetings with representatives and delegation from outside China and we will basically engage in what we have explained as being cultural communication and try to well on the first hand explain what is China story and what is conscious and and on the other end explain to the Chinese people what these delegation and representatives from outside might have to bring to the table and share with us busy in terms of this great initiative and in terms of cultural communication very good.
There's a story in the china daily today by john Payne he's the associate researcher at the chinese academy of international trade and economic cooperation at math probs the ministry of commerce and there's a couple of passages from it that i would like to read and get a comment and this is that ok and then I was like to read those two really enjoy having means there is no problem.
Ok here's the quote in the United States the upcoming administration led by Donald Trump may pose a challenge to the country's economic policy and along with the United Kingdom preparing to break away from from Europe and the need to accommodate the continuing influx of refugees the european union now has the rise of right-wing forces to worry about we can translate that yes that compost shot here to get more than enough inertia the i/o mom doesn't know jack you out martian that you want without y'all we had all your logic but many luigi is you are you so much and that alone.
Presenting the ego the answer mine should come you're hey you learned in your projects especially very you're attending inches are two common condition.
Ok I will go on and then add a comment but even as Western decision-makers retreat from globalization and shift their focus to domestic issues china is pursuing and upholding more open and inclusive cross-border trade in that say fucking are ya you have when George before you fire that gun brochure to grow up 180 maybe we should when he from working and shit i ventured out yet is an additional.
Identification that yeah have participants and major beneficiary of globalization China is now the leading advocate of sustainable economic globalization so mr. finally I would like to have your comment on this this quote from china daily and this is from John say mark on the original back but going out and you're hire I show you join 4-h report your mother used to not only talking shortage of as you know from washer and challenging but for ya change you're going to do with universe you're getting older so we are children continue your mission for the body but not from our trigger are you figure it'll kind in unity goin down what's the general your milk and while was just going to tell you couldn't make this alehana that what you hired the point yet such as well so again these is a somewhere said to be a half of Vienna how I was gonna kind of going yardage for school board ankle or the absences from buddies are financially part of your heart that you why are you yeah some are someone up simply beautiful as you don't huh.
So whatever our colleges that you will tell me to get you going to use that before that make sure that your financial what was not find that is about how do you get your do that should have been hotly yet ready for some uncle of all of whatever did all that hole for what it's worth about you label that how you so much you have a gamma your level of parking lot like that market we got here.
New York without for you for a silver cynicism that was legendary power energy flavors were 144 well as you liked sure that the woman pushes my buttons on my mind that should get you didn't that well first of all I can only speak for myself on this issue but even I event as this is I think that most Chinese people would agree that these initiatives messages such as the federal control initiative have has a starting point the domestic situation in China right now of course in terms of economic development that I i had foreign journalist jet development in general tire china has high points and has also aspect was maybe it has lost the third and balance and this is why it has continuously kept opening its will to reform and it's the reforms help when it comes to other countries long as we China's not really in a position to make that song of comments about the race of their development.
This is why we see mostly of China we have a thing in China basically that could translate you we will even see but basically this is what we are doing here in China we are observing countries and their development and we are trying to see how their development can be incorporated in with our development or the other way around also how everybody's development can be incorporated together so that all countries may benefit and become stronger from the definitions and initiative and a diva while China is definitely being very active in this way not just sitting and waiting and seeing that.
The commitments that night made with that with the many partners that it has been up to 60 nations around the world about to as much as a trillion dollars worth of Chinese investments in infrastructure i'll give you one example if you and asked if you refer to this maybe i'll give you two examples let's translate not go forward not working I've been traveling as you've been seeking for that great ok so one example is China has for the tremendous amount invested investment into Greece there's a port near Allen's called serious and China is helping to create a new high productivity deepwater port in Piraeus that's been needed literally for centuries and is very actively involved in that I wonder if it's fine then is also familiar with that project i introduce you to go to the trouble was very capable I've heard about this project the whole body shock because I'm hello and see what is polish it's got another idea she's got to work in that was just what they'll get out at how to shoot other kind of heat that Horner how is the only world understand that you said she would get over these here he's a genius he said yeah let's get yo shit College papers you a design course that these of what you talked about come call gamma function of the tragedy of actual people were active actually got some nice sutra actually crazy flavor of water what would you call that either call ya if you hadn't called hard to defeat how sure that shouldn't have the whole of the video that will be back to what is your number and I'll call unless you like 20 Jesus you know the old yeah actually you go.
Play to regenerate how many bodies they usually do it yourself so yeah I've heard a little bit about this this project and I've got my own research on it and I know that China has obtained a special right for operation and grease and I think that was the project is about is a incorporating and importing some of China's the strong points in order to build an international port so motivated we will be as I understand it you will be using Chinese technologies and I Chinese that specialties and characteristics in order to build a fort and of course this is a this will be very beneficial for well the region and the world in general and international for end of all will be away for China to be able to export its numerous products student european market through the 40 degrees yet and well as railways in the railway not currently being builders in a hungry for a way it's like that when th you believe that children's Law Sheila your shoes for the beautiful unique silent reactivated for super super hawlucha of all no mercy how to respond to provide us some water do it going to continue with more commotion background BB that don't come from comes yeah yeah what do that is to see but i'm probably but monitoring with a whole maybe aren't you should call that you choose to find out how to put should be the difficulties that you need iron hopefully she eight o'clock somewhere really special lot of guys should totally all the other problem that would be fun I can also give you a specific example I know that they are.
About 14 airports in Greece which for which the operational right up in the Box fire German conglomerate actually what China is doing in Greece is not an abnormal situation at all and it's basically a very basic normal commercial attitude and activities i think that there might be some political repercussions and that's what a lot of people want to concentrate on so I really don't think that this is a the chips of the project in itself and what we should be concentrating on I think there are a lot more important aspects of this project for us possess so it's I find it fascinating that had a time when greece is very much in disfavor by most investors including greek adjusters themselves because of their economic and political issues i find it very interesting that china is not sitting back.
China is moving forward and had participating fully in the inn in rebuilding three-time their economy it's not magical thinking for school you can generalize it you enter the Jewish air only advantages for my living room tour she's happy that's already teacher being shouldn't even though you had with your future its own to your attention was on the latter got to go one being which actually is actually and come back bitches about mostly for that your house the whole network she had avoided your heart you don't know when she's at home no super rush to get there because futurology that you guys are fighting but more mature.
I'm going back on track well as our five minutes.
Fly off our prime minister once said that the idea is to be able to live in harmony in this world and well kinda since since the purpose of the new China basically in 49.
China has been developing yourself and focusing on this old elephant and now it's also become interested in the development of other developing countries and the goal in this is not to let anyone anybody fall behind but rather to try to find a way to share the benefits of all this development and well exceed this ideal that this ideal goal that we have to be living in a world in harmony where everybody's at look they're all countries hand-in-hand well this is actually very similar to the development allowed to be the international development philosophy of the United States which we've been trying to practice to share prosperity and technology and people with all the countries of the world especially since world war two so i must say that it is truly inspiring at this time to see China joining America in their role in international development and what America and China come together could be very exciting with Jonathan I should treasure the water and their toys that indeed they are all churches had a that what you don't operate even better personality you told leaving now I cut some boards are actually got some bones that someone like we actually showed me that what was that about two years ago but I how these triangles yes she had actual the signal somewhat easier it is a leader county center now number so to go from whether to continue should be that sometimes number of someone having already are using our and got what completa con future of the other one back.
Shantal should get into what it won't would yet one down and awful jumpin off on foot on a vertical don't attack me when I hold our teacher is a factor but thanks very much like that and then we we need to move on.
I were close this and we'll take that subject up again in the next program and go even deeper.
