This refers to the land-based component of the initiative, Inspired by the the ancient Silk Road trading routes. The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that linked the Western world with the Middle East and Asia. It was a major conduit for trade between the Roman Empire and China and later between medieval European kingdoms and China. The modern Silk Road Economic Belt seeks to establish a network of overland economic corridors connecting China to Europe via Central Asia and the Middle East.

This component represents the maritime aspect of the initiative, inspired by the historical maritime Silk Road. The ancient maritime Silk Road was a sea route that connected China with various regions, including Southeast Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Europe. The 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road aims to create a network of sea routes connecting China to Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe.
