Geocultural Citizens

With Belt and Road a multitude of projects have emerged cultivating the idea that China is most successful when it is open to the outside world. In a country where the past bears heavily on contemporary events, the Silk Road helps orient a contemporary citizenry towards a society going forward, confident in its ability to be economically and culturally enriched by exchange and through the trading of ideas, technologies and goods. The pages here sample these projects. The focus is primarily on things happening in China, but other developments around Asia and beyond also show how the Silk Roads provide a platform for educating Chinese tourists to the regional, even global, reach of Chinese culture and civilization.
