Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
When Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba in 2018 announced it had chosen the ancient city of Xi’an as the site for its new
regional headquarters, the symbolic value wasn’t lost on the company: it had brought globalization to its ancient
birthplace, the start of the old Silk Road.
People have been trading goods for almost as long as they’ve been around. But as of the 1st century BC, a remarkable
phenomenon occurred. For the first time in history, luxury products from China started to appear on the other edge of the
Eurasian continent – in Rome. They got there after being hauled for thousands of miles along the Silk Road. Trade had
stopped being a local or regional affair and started to become global.
That is not to say globalization had started in earnest. Silk was mostly a luxury good, and so were the spices that were
added to the intercontinental trade between Asia and Europe. As a percentage of the total economy, the value of these
exports was tiny, and many middlemen were involved to get the goods to their destination. But global trade links were
established, and for those involved, it was a goldmine. From purchase price to final sales price, the multiple went in
the dozens.
The Silk Road could prosper in part because two great empires dominated much of the route. If trade was interrupted, it
was most often because of blockades by local enemies of Rome or China. If the Silk Road eventually closed, as it did after
several centuries, the fall of the empires had everything to do with it. And when it reopened in Marco Polo’s late medieval
time, it was because of the rise of a new hegemonic empire: the Mongols. It is a pattern we’ll see throughout the history of
trade: it thrives when nations protect it, it falls when they don’t.
