China’s Belt and Road Initiative was proposed by President Xi Jinping in 2013. The Initiative refers to the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road – a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along ancient trade routes.
The "Belt" refers to physical land routes along the ancient Silk Road network that stretched from China all the way to Europe.
What has been called the "Maritime Silk Road," is actually shipping lanes from China’s coastal cities to Venice in Italy.
