The 11,179-kilometer Yuxinou (Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe) International Railway, honored as the ‘modern Silk Road’, was officially put into operation on Aug.31. It starts in Chongqing, crosses the Alataw Pass on the border of China into Kazakhstan, and then travels through Russia, Belarus and Poland before arriving in Duisburg, Germany.

Via the new railway, it only takes 16 days on average to transport goods from China to European backland, 20 days shorter than ocean shipping from China’s eastern areas. Thus, the railway is more suitable for transporting high-value goods （meaning all the high-tech goodies produced in Chengdu and Chongqing can now reach their european markets via this railway）with a limited shelf life. Moreover, from Chongqing to Europe, customs declaration and inspection will only be processed one time, adding much increased convenience for shippers.

To coincide with the opening of the Yuxinou (Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe) International Railway, an international Trans-Eurasia Rail Logistics Company was co-established by Chongqing, Russia, the Republic of Tajikistan and Germany, and other partners on Apr. 12 with an initial investment of US$6 million.

The main role of the company will be to organize regular rail container shipments between Chongqing in China and Duisburg in Germany. It will also provide freight forwarding, transportation price negotiation and transportation security services.

China's railway network is a sign of serious logistic planning. Not only alternate route but also faster delivery.

yea that's cause the USN is everywhere, however other regional navy's arnt. if we're at a point where the USN is blockading china then we(as in the planet) have far more to worry about than some oil.

Myanmar does have oil. But more importantly, China will deploy our Type 052D destroyer to our indian ocean bases in Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Pakistan and directly challenge the USN.

This is a huge development. Every country along the railway will be guaranteed freedom from US bases. This will inevitably bring Germany closer to China and Russia. Germans are sick of being an occupied country. If Germany withdraws from NATO, rearms itself as the Fourth Reich, and allies with China and Russia, then the American Empire is finished.
