Little Huang Weilu seemed destined to become an expert of missiles and rockets when he grew up--although he probably didn't know what a missile or a rocket was yet--for a single flying toy was just an unfinished bomb in his eyes! When he was a young man, he was sure that his childhood fantasy of building bombs was not meaningless. His country was at war, and he wanted more than anything else to bring peace to it by making it strong. This determination turned his interest into his career. After studying in the UK for four years, Huang returned to China with the finest knowledge in building missiles and rockets. This book tells the touching story of Huang Weilu, who dreamed of making his country strong and spent his entire life trying to make it happen. No matter what happened, he was always thinking what he could do for his country, and his selflessness and devotion to his homeland are definitely the most memorable features of his story.

This book explores the opportunities and challenges that both Europe and Asia face under the framework of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative. The 21st Century Maritime Silk Road Initiative (MSR Initiative), put forward by the Chinese government together with the Silk Road Economic Belt, reflects China’s ambition and vision to shape the global economic and political order. The first step and priority under the MSR Initiative, according to documents issued by China, is to build three ‘Blue Economic Passages’ linking China with the rest of the world at sea, two of which will connect China with Europe. This initiative, however, still faces enormous challenges of geopolitical suspicion and security risks. This book seeks to assess these risks and their causes for the cooperation between the Eurasian countries under the framework of MSR and puts forward suggestions to deal with these risks in the interdisciplinary perspectives of international relations and international law. Featuring a global team of contributors, this book will be of much interest to students of Asian politics, maritime security, international law and international relations.
