CHINA BELT & ROAD: A Cartoonist's Journey, Chinese Version
A playful snapshot of Xi Jinping's Belt and Road initiative, as expressed in drawings by a distinguished China cartoonist.
Here, Mr. Chibi imagines us through many of the new-day Silk Road initiative's elements as it winds from China through Central Asia, Russia, Eastern and Western Europe, and then again over the South China Sea, through Indonesia, the Mid-East, and North Africa.
The journey highlights many aspects of President Xi's wide-ranging diplomatic and economic vision, introducing them playfully, yet placing them clearly in this midst of this re-imagined Silk Road's exciting and evolving story.

About the Author: ILLUSTRATOR
Cheng Shibi currently lives in Hengyang, in Central China's Hunan Province.
A lifelong reader and teacher, Cheng Shibi is fascinated with Chinese calligraphy and Chinese ink painting. He enjoys doing both of these, especially because of what he calls their "mood-adjustment" properties!
In this book, Cheng Shibi offers something of an innovation on the traditional thickness-and-density-of-ink, and variation-on-brush-stroke system. By adding color to the already warm feelings they create, he renders an effect more universally understandable and more interesting for all.
