This geopolitical interest was not accidental, because the Balkans through the corridors of the Aegean Sea, through the Vardar-Moravian valley to the Danube and farther to the Rhine in Germany, served as a real gateway to Southeast Europe. Russia was constantly trying to break through the important Rimland belt and reach the warm seas. In the twentieth century, the USSR in the Stalin era hoped for a possible breakthrough through Tito’s Yugoslavia and Albania and eventually Greece to the Adriatic and the Aegean seas. After the historic split with Marshal Tito and the death of Stalin, the Soviet Union temporarily withdrew from such dreams. However, China made a spectacular breakthrough through Albania that lasted until the late 1970s. When the great Asian giant China at the beginning of the 21st century grew into an economic and financial superpower, China’s interest in a breakthrough in Europe re-emerged through its south-eastern door to the Balkans. The pharaonic project for the construction of the water road along Corridor 10, codenamed «The Silk Road», was renewed. China seeks to exploit the financial weakness of the impoverished Balkans and maked a spectacular entry into Serbia, Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Republika Srpska. This time, China is backed by Russia, which has long dreamed of its own geo-economic interest in the Balkans. But such attempts have not met with much sympathy from the United States and the European Union. The United States is responding through its NATO allies to neutralize the Silk Road project across the Balkan corridor. Keywords: China, Russia, USA, South East Europe, Balkans, Geopolitics, Silk Road, Cor- ridor 10 Introduction By disembarking in the Balkans ten years ago, China did not arrive in terra incognita. The relations between these two important geo-historical spaces have existed since Antiquity. Although they experienced a long hiatus of nearly twenty centuries, they were resumed in the second half of the twentieth century due to the changes ensuing from the international commu- nist movement. Alexander the Great arrived at the borders of ancient China, Xi Jiping did the opposite. The Chinese Bucephalus was welcome when he arrived at the right moment, taking the place of the European Union and Putin’s Russia which disappointed the Balkans that was 1 The Author is doctor of history, specialist for Balkans and member of the Editorial Board of Confluences Méditerranée CONTEMPORARY MACEDONIAN DEFENCE 9 INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL deeply upset by the fall of the wall, the implosion-explosion of Yugoslavia, the international financial crisis of 2008 and the decrees of the Troika by the IMF-ECB- EU Commission (1). In his latest book, Eurasia. Continent, Empire, Ideology or Project, (2) the geographer and geo-historian Michel Bruneau considers the Sino-European relations in general and the Sino-Balkan relations in particular throughout the long history. In the first chapter, he announces: “An immense continental space long divided in two, but connected since ancient times”. The affair began with the Alexandrian epic which took the opposite direction from the great and ancient migratory movements starting from the East to arrive in the West. Alexander of Macedonia is an atypical Greek. Out of the Greek tribes which arrived in the southern triangle of the Balkans, the Macedonians were the last ones and they therefore settled in the north of the Greek area with their city-states and their democratic system. Alexander’s ancestors lived, mixed and blended with the local non-Greek populations (Thracians, Peonians, Illyrians). Alexander,
