What is the impact of the opening of the new route on China?
There are three roads from east to west: one is land, from Central Asia along the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea to Asia; Two sea routes, that is, from the sea to the Persian Gulf, then through the two river basins to Syria on the east coast of the Mediterranean, or from the sea to the Red Sea, and then from the land to Alexandria, Egypt. /kloc-After the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the mid-5th century, it occupied the Balkans and Asia Minor, and soon occupied Crimea, controlling the traditional trade routes between the East and the West, and extorting and making things difficult for European businessmen traveling to and from the Mediterranean region. Therefore, the goods sent to Europe are small in quantity and expensive, while the European upper class regards Asian luxury goods as necessities and buys them at high prices. This trade caused western Europe to enter supermarkets and a large amount of gold flowed out. So the aristocrats, businessmen and bourgeoisie in western Europe are eager to bypass the eastern Mediterranean and open up another route to India and China, and get a lot of luxury goods directly from Asia.
