On the afternoon of March 11, Jack Ma announced on Weibo that he would donate anti-epidemic materials to Europe
"Fortunately, in the face of various difficulties in the cross-border transportation of epidemic materials, we learned that the eWTP hub at Liege Airport in Europe is functioning well and connects a life channel. Next, our supplies to Europe will continue to flow. Through here, we are sent to places where there is a need. We are racing against time, hoping to help the emergency and overcome the difficulties together! "Ma Yun said on his personal Weibo.
eWTP (World Electronic Trading Platform) was initiated by Alibaba. The Belgian government participated in co-construction in December 2018, and Liege became an innovative intelligent logistics and digital trade hub. Now, this hub has become the main channel of efficient European rescue when fighting the epidemic. Earlier, millions of masks donated by Chinese in Europe, and ventilator donations donated by the Belgian government arrived in China from Liege through charter flights and green channels.
The rookie charter in the epidemic
At the same time, the eWTP Liege hub is also the key infrastructure for Chinese and European SMEs to resume production, helping Europe win two battles against epidemics and the economy. In the interview with Belgian media, Campion, the overseas chief operating officer of the Investment Promotion Agency of Wallonia, Belgium, was concerned that the freight volume of the Liege hub is expected to double in the next two months.
