How an international container express brings China’s central regions closer to Europe

Aleksandrova Maria V.

Abstrak

Despite China's success in global monopolization of container production, containerization equipment and vehicles, the country remains concerned about global market instability. To reduce these tensions, China has actively developed rail container transportation both domestically and internationally. The China-Europe Express has become the shortest “bridge” connecting China’s domestic and foreign markets. The express train is crucial for promoting high-quality economic development in the country’s hinterland. A number of Chinese cities have become assembly hubs for container train products. The author analyzes the specifics of their development on the example of Chongqing, Xi'an and Wuhan. Special attention is also paid to the issue of train subsidies. The author notes that the container express train has changed the development logic of China's interior regions, significantly improving their transport links.
