David Murphy: From Xi’an to Rotterdam?

From TCS: Tech Central Station:

If you thought reviving the Silk Road was a job for the World Tourism Organisation you would be right. At least until recently. This lesser known WTO has been peddling the idea of a continuous overland link between China and Europe for more than a decade; but now the WTO’s dream of a romantic itinerary for nostalgic adventurers has been overtaken by a concerted push by governments and international organizations to rebuild the overland trade routes from China to Europe. The chances of success are high for two reasons: increased stability and economic growth in central Asia and China’s decision to throw its weight behind the project.
