中國新絲綢之路計劃在非洲成形

Four years and some hundreds of billions of dollars later, China’s ambitious global trading strategy known as the “Maritime Silk Road” or “One Belt, One Road“ is now coming to life, particularly in parts of East Africa where major infrastructure and defense projects are being built.

四年以來數百億美元過後，中國雄心勃勃的全球貿易戰略，“海上絲綢之路”或者稱作“一帶一路，現在正在變成現實，特別是在東非的部分地區，主要的基礎設施建設和國防安全項目正在建設中。

New ports in Tanzania, rail lines in Kenya, naval facilities in Djibouti and industrial zones along the Suez Canal in Egypt are all intended to support this massive new trade network that President Xi Jinping hopes will become a key pillar of his foreign Policy agenda.

坦桑尼亞的新港口，肯尼亞的鐵路線，吉布提的海軍設施和沿埃及蘇伊士運河的工業區都被用來支撐這個龐大的新貿易網絡，習近平主席希望這個貿易網絡能夠成爲他的對外政策議程的關鍵支柱。
