Why it matters
The express service has grown from a regional initiative into a globally recognized logistics network. This decade of operation demonstrates the scale of international trade facilitated by the rail infrastructure between China and Europe. The network handles high-end chemical products and general cargo.
The larger context involves the Belt and Road Initiative, which includes a deputyship based in Chongqing, high-speed rail connections, and the involvement of Xi Jinping.
