With the cooperation of Erasmus Graduate School of Business of Netherlands, Beijing Jiaotong University has established a think tank to provide consultation services, especially in transport field, for government and companies.

 

 The Institute of Global Supply Chain and Logistic, established on Wednesday (June 17), will focus on business opportunities brought by the Chinese government's strategy of reviving the ancient Silk Road.

 

The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, as the initiatives are officially termed, are a land-based route from China via Central Asia and Russia to Europe, and a strategic path through the Strait of Malacca to India, the Middle East and East Africa. The initiatives began to take shape in 2014 with a focus on infrastructure.
