The Silk Road was the springboard for an exchange of ideas, technologies, foods, and diseases between China, Central Asia, and Southwest Asia. Few travelers actually traversed the entire length of this Eurasian trade network. The Silk Road was not in continuous operation throughout its long history; during periods when China had strong centralized governments (Han, Tang, and Mongol) trade flourished. Modern China is building a contemporary Silk Road that is a reflection of worldwide globalization trends by linking central Asian resources, particularly oil to the rest of the world.
