| dc.description.abstract | This paper tries to trace how China revived the Ancient Silk Road and how it has
redefined relations with other countries in the world, including Indonesia. Under
President Xi Jinping, China revived the concept of the Silk Road through the Belt
and Road Initiative (BRI) policy. BRI has two main parts, the land silk route
known as the Silk Road Economic Belt and the sea route known as the Maritime
Silk Road. The revival of the silk route has its charm so that many countries,
including Indonesia, welcome BRI's presence. But before Indonesia gets involved
further in the BRI, it is crucial for Indonesia to examine the extent to which the
ideologies and values carried out in the reconstruction of the BRI concept
threatens or benefits Indonesia's interests. Through a study of the discourse and
views of Chinese leaders, this paper will explore how the traditional values of the
silk road are modified to conform to the values of modern cooperation and trade
to suit China ambition to be a great power. | en_US |
