【泰顺县】Build a better earth

     A flower alone is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring and the garden is full. Looking at it through the long lens of history, it is only through exchanges and mutual learning that today's human civilization is prosperous and colorful. The sound of camel bells on the ancient Silk Road has set a model for the exchange of civilizations and the coexistence of civilizations.

     A series of continuous-running China-Europe trains have built a new bridge to connect the world. More than 2,000 years ago, the camel bell caravan crossed the vast desert and walked out of a Silk Road connecting the East and the West. Today, the China-Europe trains are full of goods traveling from east to west, and the ancient Silk Road "sounds the camel bell again". Data shows that the price of a standard container on the China-Europe freight train is far lower than the average transportation cost on major shipping routes. According to Danish logistics company DSV, the time required to travel by rail from China to Europe is half that of sea freight, and the cost of transportation is 1/4 that of air freight. The China Railway Express has made an important contribution to the smooth flow of the international industrial chain and supply chain with convenient, fast, safe, stable and green economic cross-border logistics services.

     Columns of China-Europe trains running endlessly have built a new platform for openness and cooperation. As an important carrier for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", China-Europe freight trains have continuously delivered epidemic prevention materials, mechanical parts, electronic products and other goods to their destinations, which not only deepened the economic and trade cooperation between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road", but also boosted the the regional economic recovery. The data shows that the ratio of the return train to the outbound train of the China-Europe train reached 88%, a year-on-year increase of 6%; the recent round-trip comprehensive heavy container rate has continued to remain above 98%. In addition to driving the development of import and export trade and related industries, the opening of the China Railway Express has also spawned many new logistics, industrial, commercial and trade centers and industrial parks, providing a large number of employment opportunities and real convenience for the people of the countries along the route. In the German inland port city of Duisburg, with the opening of the China-Europe freight train, there are about 50,000 local people engaged in related businesses, accounting for 15% of the city's labor force. The joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative originated from China, and the opportunities and achievements belong to the world.

     Policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds are the essence of the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. The engine of China-Europe freight trains is constantly running day and night, and the cooperation of the "Belt and Road" keeps moving forward. In the future, the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" will write more stories of mutual benefit and win-win results, and make new contributions to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
