Buchsteiner in the book «Hour of Asians. How Europe is being supplanted»demonstrated how, step by step, Europe can be destroyed by increasing the activity of the population from the countries of the East, both in Europe and around the world. According to the author, such features of mentality as activity, confidence, determination can contribute to the fact that Asians will soon seize Europe, which, in turn, is not ready for such an outcome of events. Today, Buchsteiner's prophecies are being fulfilled and the evidence of this is the implementation of the largest infrastructure project, the New Silk Road. The given article is about the prospects of this project in the field of economics and geopolitics for both China and Europe.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Back in 2005, J.
