CHANGE OF ADDRESS
(EUCCC's OFFICE - 2204, Shui on Plaza, 333 Huai Hai Zhong Road near Madang Road )
The global economy faces its greatest crisis in over a century. Today’s vents will result in changes that were unimaginable a few years ago. More importantly, the East is beginning to challenge the economic dominance of the West. The Arab world is rising. Dubai’s skyline is jammed with gleaming skyscrapers. Foreign banks are opening in Syria’s business districts. Cairo’s five-star hotels are filled by Arab holiday makers. Yet the Arab world isn’t rising alone. It’s matched by an emerging China. The timing isn’t a coincidence. The two are historic powers once connected by one of the world’s great trade corridors.
The New Silk Road is a groundbreaking investigation into the rise of the Arab world and its strengthening relations with China. Through a mixture of analysis and first-hand accounts, Simpfendorfer offers a unique view of the Arab world, and reveals often difficult to observe links between events in cities such as Cairo, Riyadh and Beijing.
