Global history is a history of interconnection, and interconnection on a global scale is the essential feature of the era of globalization. The free flow of people, money, goods and intelligence has never been as high as it is today, and we are entering an interconnected world. The new world no longer pursues conquest and colonization, no longer targets spheres of influence, but increases international competitiveness by establishing closer ties with markets, high technology, raw materials.

The theoretical cornerstone of the "Belt and Road" promoted by China's initiative is the theory of interconnection, the "Belt and Road" interconnection, policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds.
