The worlds secondlargest economy. President xi jinping is working to extend that economic power well beyond his countrys borders. Xis vision is called one belt, one road. He wants to create a modernday silk road, improving roads and ports to form a gigantic economic bloc stretching all the way to africa and europe. One country is set to play a particularly Important Role in this initiative. That country is myanmar, led by state councilor Aung San Suu Kyi. A key part of xis plan is this route linking Southern China with Myanmars Rakhine state. Completion of this route would link china to the indian ocean without passing through the malacca straits, a development that would have significant strategic and economic benefits for china. In 2010, work began on construction of two pipelines along the new route. One for natural gas was completed in 2013. The other for crude oil was completed the following year. They pump these fuels 770 kilometers from the indian ocean to the chinese border. Th
