In October 2022, a fully loaded China-Europe train departing from Chongqing departed from Horgos Port in Xinjiang to Poland. So far, the total number of China-Europe (Central Asia) trains passing through the Xinjiang railway port during the year has exceeded 10,000.
The China Railway Express is an international freight train that shuttles through the countries along the “Belt and Road”.
Over the past ten years, the number of trains has increased from 17 in 2011 to 15,183 in 2021.
A total of 82 transportation lines have been laid out for the China Railway Express, reaching 200 cities in 24 European countries, gradually realizing the matrix layout of "connecting dots into a line" and "weaving lines into a network".
Compared with sea and air transportation, China Railway Express has the characteristics of green economy, convenience, safety and stability.
According to the Danish logistics company DSV, the railway transportation time from China to Europe is half of the sea transportation time, and the transportation cost is 1/4 of the air transportation.
Each container will be sent to enterprises in various countries through the "road-rail combined transport", which greatly reduces the transportation cost and allows Chinese and foreign people to enjoy the cost-effective transportation dividend.
In the face of the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the China-Europe Railway Express has given priority to ensuring the transportation of epidemic prevention materials for international cooperation. Up to now, a total of 14.33 million pieces of epidemic prevention materials have been shipped to Europe, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the international industrial chain supply chain, and becoming a "life channel for countries to join hands in fighting the epidemic" " and "The Ties of Fate".
Thanks to the stable operation of the China-Europe Railway Express, the total trade volume between China and Europe in 2020 will reach 586 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%.
For the first time, China surpassed the United States and became the EU's largest trading partner.
Knowing each other is not far or near, thousands of miles are still neighbors.
The former camel bell was replaced by a siren, but the goodwill and friendship remained unchanged.
In the future, the China-Europe Railway Express will further drive unimpeded trade to drive people-to-people exchanges and promote the interconnection of the Eurasian continent.
