The Financial Times on May 24, 2015, published an article written by China's Ambassador to UK, Liu Xiaoming, captioned 'New Silk Road is an opportunity not a threat'. It claimed that "the Chinese mind is never programmed around geopolitical or geoeconomic theory. As Confucius said: “He who wants success should enable others to succeed.” And the initiative of “One Belt, One Road”, short for the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, is an offer of a ride on China’s economic express train." It described it as a "public good".
