Chongqing Positions Itself as Rail-Based Gateway Between Asia and Europe

Chongqing, China, aims to become a central node in global trade by expanding its cross-border rail networks. The city has already evolved into a hub of international trade with rail routes to Germany and Singapore. These corridors provide faster and more reliable access to global markets for China and offer other countries a direct route into China's interior.

Chongqing aspires to function as a rail-based Suez Canal, connecting Asia and Europe. Shipping goods from ASEAN to Europe via Chongqing by rail is 10 to 20 days faster than traditional sea transport. The Asean Express, a fast-track route launched in October of the previous year, travels from Hanoi, Vietnam, to Malaszewicze, Poland, in approximately two weeks, with a brief reorganization stop in Chongqing."
