The China Europe freight trains ride the wind and paint a beautiful development picture

On February 21st, a China Europe (Central Asia) train loaded with mechanical parts, air conditioning compressors, and electric vehicles departed from the Alashankou Railway Port in Xinjiang and headed for Malashevich, Poland. The number of China Europe (Central Asia) trains passing through the Alashankou Railway Port exceeded 1000 six days ahead of schedule. The annual high and fully loaded trains are a microcosm of the sustained high-quality development of China Europe freight trains in recent years. Since 2011, a total of 84000 trains have been operated, becoming a true "steel camel caravan".
From nothing to something, the cultivation of the Silk Road has shown vigorous vitality. Under the "the Belt and Road" initiative, the countries along the line have worked together to build China EU trains, which have become a key channel for logistics transportation in Eurasia. From one-way transportation to fully loaded round-trip transportation, from waiting for goods to being difficult to obtain, the "steel camel caravan" that is forging ahead runs for thousands of miles, and the ancient Silk Road reappears the prosperous scene of bustling traffic. From Chongqing to Duisburg, from Zhengzhou to Hamburg, from Yiwu to London... Over the past decade, China Europe freight trains have continuously explored and innovated, with routes from scratch and transportation capacity from few to many. They have developed step by step and have reached over 200 cities in 25 European countries. 86 operating routes with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour cross the main regions of the Eurasian hinterland, and logistics distribution networks cover the Eurasian continent, Opened up new land transportation channels and economic and trade cooperation bridges on the Eurasian continent. From its simple function as a logistics channel at the beginning to its mission of guiding industrial agglomeration today, the China Europe freight train has been revitalized with increasingly strong vitality.
Focusing on development, promoting regional co construction and win-win cooperation. Over the past decade, the China Europe freight trains have been connected and woven into a network, becoming a "path of happiness" for people of all countries and a "path of prosperity" for the benefit of the world. Relying on the mainland corridor, China's cooperation and co construction with Central Asia and Europe have become closer, and its economy and trade have become more prosperous. The World Bank predicts that by 2030, the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" will free 7.6 million people in relevant countries from extreme poverty and 32 million people from moderate poverty, and will increase global income by 0.7% to 2.9%. Looking ahead, the China Europe freight train has pressed the "acceleration key" of running, with a large number of international trade, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain services and other enterprises taking root in the areas along the route. The manufacturing, commerce, finance, information and other industries will continue to upgrade. With the participation of more and more countries and regions, the prospect of win-win cooperation is becoming increasingly bright.

Interconnection and friendship turn into gold, outlining a happy picture. In recent years, China Europe Express has built itself into a landmark brand of the "the Belt and Road" by virtue of its fast, high-quality, safe and stable transportation advantages. The products transported are not only agricultural and non-staple food such as grain, soybeans, wine, milk, but also high-value industrial goods such as computers, cars, mobile phones, etc. More and more European products are entering the lives of Chinese people, and "Made in China" is becoming more popular in Europe. The flow of goods promotes economic and cultural exchanges, and mutual benefit and trust become a consensus in these exchanges. The customs clearance and inspection along the way have become increasingly convenient, the business environment at ports has been continuously optimized, and international transportation regulations have become more standardized. With new policies, new ports, and new commodities, people's lives in countries and regions along the way are rapidly moving towards happiness, achieving a gratifying situation of shared benefits.

Jointly celebrating the grand event and painting the future, the historical heritage of the ancient Silk Road has been showcased along the way with the rapid development of the China Europe freight train, becoming a strong background of the new era. The beautiful lives of the people of the countries along the route have given the China Europe freight train a new era connotation. From the melodious camel bells and the ancient yellow sand road in the past, to the now China Europe freight train running thousands of miles across the Eurasian continent, spanning thousands of miles, injecting new impetus into promoting world economic development and striving to paint a beautiful picture for the next decade.
