Shaanxi role in B&R shows benefits galore for province

BEIJING - The Belt and Road Initiative is spurring myriad business activities and trade in Northwest China's Shaanxi province. The province's role in the Initiative is also growing.

For instance, early this month, Serbian businessman Alexander Stankovic, general manager of a winery, spent over 25 hours traveling from his Belgrade home to Xi'an in the province to attend an expo on the Belt and Road Initiative.

Stankovic had to transfer flights in Moscow and Beijing before reaching Xi'an, the easternmost point of the ancient Silk Road.
