本书是根据中国国家主席习近平于2013年提出的“一带一路”倡议后，从各方面的角度评述“一带一路”的历史背景及其对后世的影响。两千年来，我们的先辈通过无数次的势力和艰苦奋斗，才克服了一个又一个困难，最终实现了今日世界的大格局。这个大格局在1百年前为争权夺利引发了第一次世界大战（1914-1918）及在80年前又引爆了第二次世界大战（1931-1945）.在牺牲万千人的生命后，这个世界滋长了“陆权”、“海权”及“空权”之争。例如今天的中美对峙；俄罗斯先发制人，引爆俄乌战争及以色列与巴勒斯坦人的千年情仇恩怨等等，对世界的和平已构成一定的威胁。本书共分为了九个章节阐述“一带一路”的起源，间中又点出南中国海的危机。中国创造性开辟中欧班列和泛亚铁路及西方国家通过海权对中国的包围，形成今日的新冷战。即便如此，中国在近20年来却让高铁飞跃而成为世界第一。这本书是由5位博士运用一年有余的时间完成的，共约30万言，而侧重中国与马来西亚的经济关系的变动。正好遇上“一带一路”十周年纪念，顺此祝愿一带一路跨国另一个世纪时，我们的地区变得更加璀璨而与宇宙及海洋练成不可分隔的三位一体。

政治漫画马来西亚的政治转型是一段漫长的过程，而且曲折艰难，原因是政治转型未必符合每个人的期待与利益，为此遭受不少阻力和冲突。无论如何，从世界趋势来看，凡是成熟的民主政体，才能起到保障权益、维护正义、尊重多元的作用，民主政治仍然值得追求。 民主转型往往不会一蹴而成，它既不是直线一条必达终点，也无法毕其功于一役，因而需要社会的耐心和毅力，跨过一道又一道的阻力。我们还应理解到，民主制度的完善往往需要以分阶段、分期付款式来促成，不是一步到位，致其超越负荷。 持平而言，自2018年首次政党轮替至今，马来西亚频密更換政府，皆以和平与不流血方式处理，社会上各族人民也逐渐以平和心态，去面对政府变更。这种政权有序转移的过程，对发展中国家而言算得上出人意表，国人在心理上也逐渐克服了对政治波动的恐惧与阴影，无疑是一大进步。
