it's a huge stack of cash to spend on chinese infrastructure across asia, europe and africa. fear this is a bid for strategic dominance in asia and beyond. that china will control key assets and enslave neighbours through debt. china says that's nonsense, that this is merely to boost trade, that it's a revival of the ancient silk road that, of course, was going on here. but i think what's important to remember is that the big difference between the ancient silk road and the new version is that this is not private traders, private americanants dealing amongst them —— merchants dealing amongst themselves, this is chinese money. more from carrie throughout this week, as she continues to follow the route of the new silk road. the white house has tried to play down the revelation that donald trump's son had a meeting last year with a russian lawyer, who said she had damaging material about hillary clinton. it took place during the presidential campaign and plays into concerns that the trump's inner circle had developed connections with russia. 0ur chief correspondent, gavin hewitt
