      I don’t know but I presume she sailed via Suez. The PLA and related entities have made significant investments in the Suez area, and even bigger investments in Djibouti. In this context, it’s also worth noting that, by around 2025, new OBOR trans-Eurasian railways will allow passengers (aka troops) to travel from Beijing to London in three days, and cargo in one week – compared with four to five weeks by sea.
