Abstract:
Research on the traffic network and national economic ties of the Belt and Road is the foundation to promote cooperation with countries along China. Based on GIS spatial analysis technology, the gridcost weighted distance algorithm was used to calculate the spatial accessibility of the Belt and Road, and then the gravity model was introduced, in order to measure strength of economic tie between China and other countries along the Belt and Road. The economic tie, spatial structure and the distribution pattern of gravity between China and the other countries along the Belt and Road were discussed. Research shows that the distribution of spatial accessibility of the main node in the Belt and Road of Chinese area has the spatial characteristics of “channel”; Xi’an is the center city of starting point area of the Belt and Road, which make most of areas within the territory of China and countries and regions in the Belt and Road contact. Shenyang is an important node of ChinaMongoliaRussia economic corridor in northeast China region, and it is the window open to the north of China; the regional characteristics of economic ties between China and other countries along China are obvious. Countries with strong economic ties are Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Russia, and so on. Countries with stronger economic ties are mainly Central Asian countries, mainly Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Poland, and so on; the strength of economic ties between most countries in Europe and China is at a moderate level. According to the strength of economic ties, the economic zone of the Belt and Road is divided into three regions: the eastern region, central region and western region. Taking ChinaMongoliaRussia, Pakistan, BCIM economic corridor and Silk Road Economic Belt as the link, the construction of regional transportation infrastructure and international cooperation are needed to be promoted. The three regions should strengthen complementary advantages and trade interconnection, and then build urban agglomeration and important node cities to enhance the level of open economic development.
