Description:One Belt One Road (OBOR), a signature initiative of Chinese President Xi Jinping, is currently one of the most frequently discussed enterprises. This controversial mix of worldwide projects has put China and Xi in the center of attention, and not always in a positive way. Of course, not all projects included in the initiative have been or are likely to be successful, but the initiative has far-ranging economic, cultural, and political potential. OBOR, in its essence, is an attempt of the Chinese government to secure for the country a paramount position in global finance and ensure that primacy extends far into the future.

Therefore, the areas picked for the implementation and development of OBOR are deliberately strategic. One of the countries in which China has picked to invest is Greece, specifically the port of Piraeus. The OBOR initiative has many similarities to the ancient Silk Road. Though the ancient route and modern concept are in no way identical, the two are compared many similarities rise. The main difference between the two is that the Silk Road was created somewhat organically, whereas the OBOR is planned in detail. On the other hand, the main similarity is the fact that both represent a network of trade. Moreover, both combine land and sea transport. To understand China's motivation to build such a network, an examination of some of its history is in order. This project was long in gthe making. Various discussions took place on an international level and domestically until all parties came to an agreement. The deal and change at Piraeus between Greece and China affects more than the politicians and the shipowners, it affects everyone involved in the port's operations as well as the residents of the area. To further comprehend the impact on their lives one must see things through their eyes, and there is no better way than contacting individuals and conversing with them. Both the Piraeus port as well as the OBOR initiative have consequences on domestic and international levels. Such consequences affect both port and initiative in financial and environmental aspects, of which neither can be ignored. In conclusion, the specific deal at Piraeus and the OBOR initiative as a whole have the potential of benefiting the international and local communities. However, specific measures must be taken and governments must collaborate in order for the deal in Piraeus and the OBOR initiative to have the most beneficial and the least negative impact.
