It comes more and more evidence of the involvement of the Chinese government of US private military companies to protect the so-called New Silk Road, write “arguments of the week”. Recall, Beijing initially announced the development of two international projects: “Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Sea Silk Road”. Then they were merged into one called “one belt, one way”. It provides for the creation of several trans-Eurasian economic corridors. Our country is most interested in the northern route: China - Central Asia - Russia - Europe. Within its framework, a high-speed passenger railway from Beijing to Moscow through Kazakhstan will be built..
First news about, that the Chinese decided to bring in the protection of their Silk Road the former head of the famous American private military company (PMC) Blackwater Erica Prince, appeared immediately after the election Donald Trump. The thing is, what is prince, worked for a long time at the CIA, has extensive connections with the new US administration. He allegedly even sponsored the Trump campaign, personally knows the president and is a close friend of the chief strategist of the White House Steve Bannon.
It became known a little later., that Prince has already begun creating training centers and bases for his fighters in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province in China. As a result of this penetration into the very heart of Asia, he should gradually take control of the Silk Road infrastructure in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Really, not so long ago a chinese newspaper Global Times published information about, what is a Hong Kong based company Frontier Services Group(FSG), whose head is Eric Prince, will build two operational bases in these areas.
Prince himself said about this, that he and his company do not serve the goals of Chinese foreign policy, they just help expand trade. breakwater, his office is not a Chinese version of Blackwater: “This is a logistic, not a security company. None of the employees will be armed”. maybe, it is so, but, as the saying goes, bad trouble start.
Anyway, but the situation is reminiscent of a story about mice, who hired a cat to guard their cheese. maybe, American cat and will not touch the treat, but the mice will surely end, when the team arrives from Washington. So comrade. the Chinese can be advised now to begin to deepen the rather shallow Arctic Ocean - to help Russia build Northern Sea Route. The shortest sea route to Europe.
