Abstract

Since its inception, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has become a focus of scholarly research, highlighting the implications of China’s global reach onto international relations. Within this research agenda, the appropriation of Silk Road histories is an evident practice of China’s diplomacy. This chapter thus aims to contribute to an interdisciplinary subfield that includes International Relations (IR), Memory, and Heritage Studies, providing insights into the use of Silk Road narratives and their role in shaping China’s diplomacy.
