India’s 2023 “Economic Corridor” versus the “21st Century Chinese Maritime Silk Road”: A Modern David against a Recent Goliath?

Abstract

The cause of this paper was the cropped-up desire of India to establish an “economic corridor” between itself and EU-28, this year, crossing certain Middle East countries and Israel. This campaign was officially and personally undertaken by India’s Prime Minister! We first showed the entire framework of the Seaborne Trade —the world exports and imports—till 2020. Then we presented the “21 st century maritime Chinese Silk Road”—carrying a mystery, going back several centuries. Next, we presented the “economic corridor” of India. A further part devoted to China and another to India and a third to a comparative analysis between China and India. Another part devoted to something more important than trade sea routes and corridors, the revenge taken on by climate, the God, Russia, migration, the dear energy…, issues which the Planet has to face immediately . The paper has also strongly underlined the possibility to produce energy the way Sun does.
