China’s Global Times on April 8 reported on a major build-up of China’s freight rail capacities, both internally and internationally. Somewhat surprisingly, given the anti-Russia actions and the fact that many China-Europe rail routes pass through Russia, they report:
“A number of freight trains will be added to the China-Europe freight service to facilitate transport capacity.
“The Chengdu railway bureau will add three China-Europe freight train lines from Xinglongchang Railway Station in Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, Guiyangnan Railway Station in Southwest China’s Guizhou Province and Chengdubei Railway Station in Chengdu, Southwest China’s Sichuan Province, which connect the Alashankou Port in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
