ABSTRACT: The cause of this paper was the cropped-up desire of India to establish
an “economic corridor” between itself and
EU-28, this year, crossing certain Middle East countries and Israel.
This campaign was officially and personally undertaken by India’s Prime
Minister! We first showed the entire framework of the Seaborne Trade—the world exports and imports—till 2020. Then we presented the “21st century maritime
Chinese Silk Road”—carrying a
mystery, going back several centuries. Next, we presented the “economic
corridor” of India. A further part devoted to China and another to India and a
third to a comparative analysis between
China and India. Another part devoted to something more important than trade sea routes and corridors, the revenge taken on by climate,
the God, Russia, migration, the dear energy…, issues which the Planet has to
face immediately. The paper has also strongly underlined the possibility to
produce energy the way Sun does.
