AnewZ is a global media channel broadcasting 24/7 from Azerbaijan unveiled a new documentary exploring how China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Middle Corridor are redefining the future of trade and diplomacy between Asia and Europe.
The film crew traveled to four cities, including Xi’an — the historic starting point of the ancient Silk Road and today a gateway for China’s westward trade routes. The documentary emphasizes the growing interaction between China and Europe, showing how new transport and energy links are reshaping the continent’s economic landscape.
A central focus of the film is the Middle Corridor, which positions Azerbaijan as a vital hub connecting East and West. With modern railways, ports, and energy infrastructure, Azerbaijan is emerging as a strategic bridge not only for regional logistics, but also for Europe’s long-term economic security.
Film author, a TV journalist Anastasia Lavrina underlined the geopolitical dimension of the story:
“The Middle Corridor is no longer just a regional project. It is becoming a decisive route linking China and Europe, transforming the balance of trade and alliances. Azerbaijan plays a pivotal role in ensuring that this connection becomes a reality,” she said.
She also noted that the documentary reflects more than infrastructure alone: “Our aim was to show how behind every corridor and every new route there are people, cooperation, and shared ambitions. The interaction between China and Europe through the Middle Corridor represents not only economic progress, but also a new chapter in global partnership,” Lavrina explained.
The documentary gives viewers a unique insight into how China’s global vision, combined with the Middle Corridor’s growing importance, is shaping the future of Eurasia — and creating new bridges between East and West.
