From the perspective of all human history, Eurasia has always been the center of the world.
If you view world history as Chinese history, and the world as China, then the Eurasian continent corresponds to China’s central plains, and the US and UK to Manchuria.
Britain’s strategy has always been one of balance and containment—simply put, as long as no Napoleonic power emerged on the European continent, Britain could maintain its dominance. The United States follows the same playbook: keep the Eurasian continent in turmoil, and America can sustain its edge just as Britain did in days of yore. This has nothing to do with the cost differential between maritime and overland transport. That’s just an excuse offered by the Anglo-American camp. At its core, the unrest of the Eurasian continent is the real catalyst for the rise of peripheral powers.
Ever since ancient times, when the central plains have been peaceful, Manchuria never rose to prominence. If a unified market were established across the Eurasian continent, it would be the marginalized United States that got left behind.
That’s why our focus has always been on the Eurasian continent.
Once the entire Eurasian market is integrated, our exports will find vast new space and plenty of business opportunities. Per capita GDP could reach $30,000 within 12 years, unleashing a wave of commercial openings, the emergence of many new companies, and real wealth for a whole generation of young people.
