Original title: China -EU trains are the interpretation of the interconnected arteries of high -quality co -construction of the "Belt and Road "-" China -EU trains Development Report (2021) "interpretation

In 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pioneered the initiative of jointly building the “Belt and Road” initiative to comply with the historical trend of economic globalization, in accordance with the requirements of the era of the global governance system, in accordance with the strong desire of the people of all countries to live in a good life. The response of 3/4 countries and 32 international organizations has become a popular international cooperation platform in the world today. Relying on Luqiao and Born to Lu, the Central European trains have created a new pattern of international transportation in Asia and Europe, creating a tough international logistics supply chain. The new chapter has become the flagship project of the "Belt and Road", and has achieved huge development achievements.

After more than ten years of exploration and practice, the China -Europe trains opened a new channel for Asia -Europe and Europe. As of the end of 2021, China -EU trains have opened 49,000 rows, transported 4.432 million standards, and reached 180 cities in 23 European countries. The logistics service network covers the entire country of Asia and Europe, becoming a wide range of international public logistics products that countries along the route. In the global anti -epidemic situation, the "life channel" of international resistance was created. As of the end of 2021, the China -EU trains have sent a total of 13.62 million international cooperative epidemic prevention materials and 105,000 tons; Open 12,406 columns, transported 1.135 million standard boxes, an increase of 50%and 56%year -on -year; in 2021, it opened 15,183 columns and transported 1.461 million standard boxes, an increase of 22%and 29%year -on -year; the Central and European trains were interconnected as an international interoperability. The artery continues to grow and grow, bringing real development opportunities and visible life changes for the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" countries, Chinese and foreign enterprises, and people from various countries, and has been generally praised by the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" countries.

As a container international railway joint train between China and Europe and countries along the route, China -Europe Train has become an important carrier for promoting the construction of the “Belt and Road” and the backbone of the international logistics transportation of the Asia -Europe mainland. The main bridge and link of national economic and trade exchanges. The west, middle and east channels, which are out of China, and the five major ports of the five major ports of the Alashankou, Holgos, Erlianhot, Manzhouli, and Suifenhe, form the main transportation lines of the China -Europe trains, forming a spatial layout of "multi -directional extension, sea and land interconnection". Realize the network of Asia -Europe International Union. China -EU trains innovated a new model of modern logistics, modern transportation and modern operations, greatly reducing logistics costs, improving efficiency, shortening time, and increasing added value. The transportation cost of China -Europe trains is about 1/5 of the air transport, and the transportation time is about 1/4 of the shipping. Compared with the traditional sea and iron transportation, it can save 8%to 20%of the comprehensive logistics cost. The transportation of 1/15 and 1/7 of the road transportation played a demonstration role in the development of green and low -carbon.

The China -Europe trains run through east and west, China Unicom, and open up new channels for the inland areas of Asia and Europe, which effectively promotes trade between China and Europe. A variety of products such as Chinese consumer electronics, clothing, home appliances, daily small products, etc., arrived in Europe at a faster speed and better price, increasing European consumer benefits. More and more European products such as red wine, Dutch cheese, Polish fruits, etc. have entered the home of ordinary people in China. The China -Europe class has opened up new transportation and trade channels for European producers and traders to expand exports to China. From 2016 to 2021, China ’s import trade volume increased by 63.7%from the EU, of which 127.3%from the import of imports from Central and Eastern Europe. Opportunities, the people's sense of gain is continuously enhanced, and the countries and regions along the route have been promoted to better integrate into the open world economy.

At the same time, the China -EU trains promotes China -EU economic and trade cooperation and commodity circulation, build a digital trade network, promote the coastalization of inland cities, change the global supply chain, guide industrial agglomeration and development, reduce regional development gaps, promote regional innovation, and improve enterprise efficiency It has played an important role. In addition, the continuous development of the China -Europe trains effectively promotes the direct docking and accurate coupling of the domestic market and the foreign market, and promotes the construction of a new development pattern with the main body of domestic large circulation as its main body and the domestic and international dual cycles. Resources, promote the expansion of domestic cities, related countries, and regions to expand their internal and external openness, stimulate the enthusiasm and research and development enthusiasm of enterprises, and enhance the market competitiveness and international influence of Chinese enterprises.

The reason why the development of the China -Europe trains beyond expectations is that, first of all, thanks to the high attention and support of countries along the route, this is an important foundation for the rapid development of the China -Europe trains. In March 2014, President Xi Jinping visited Germany and witnessed the arrival of the China -EU trains (Chongqing) in Duisburg Port; in June 2016, during the visit of President Xi Jinping, he and Poland's President Duda attended the unified brand China Europe in Warsaw, China, The first European ceremony of the trains; in February 2017, the then French Prime Minister Kazanav attended the first list of the China -Europe trains from Lyon to Wuhan. At the first "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum in May, related countries will Jointly deepen the China -Europe trains cooperation mechanism to reach an agreement. Second, thanks to the countries along the route adhere to the principle of co -discussion and sharing, this is an important prerequisite for the stable development of the Central European trains. After several years of hard work, a discussion cooperation mechanism has been formed, and a series of business transportation agreements have been signed to basically achieve fixed vehicles, fixed lines, and fixed departure time, and build a system framework for the entire transportation organization of the China -Europe trains. Third, thanks to national innovation coordination along the route, this is an important way to improve the quality and efficiency of the China -Europe trains. The countries along the line jointly innovate the customs clearance model, optimize the cooperation model of customs, customs, customs, and railway rooms, significantly improve the efficiency of customs clearance in China and Europe, open fast channels, provide 7 × 24 -hour customs clearance guarantee services, and closely communicate with the communication and coordination of adjacent to the national border inspection agency. , Comprehensively ensure the safe and efficient customs clearance of the China -Europe trains. Fourth, thanks to meet the development needs of countries along the route, this is an important source of the sustainable development of the Central European trains. The world today is in a large change in a century, peace and development are still the theme of the times, and economic globalization is irreversible. Consolidating the development foundation of the China -Europe trains, promoting the high -quality development of the “Belt and Road”, and making greater contributions to the construction of a community of human destiny is a historical mission and major responsibility given to the China -Europe trains. We are facing unprecedented challenges and unprecedented opportunities. The operation of the Central and European trains has been operating over the years. We have accumulated valuable high -quality resources, and we need to create more incremental high -quality supply.

The first is to continue to consolidate the development foundation of the China -Europe trains. Further optimize the bottleneck of the Asian -Europe infrastructure network system, break through the lack of channel transportation capacity, decreased transportation efficiency, and the incomplete transportation system of transportation, and to clear the blocking point and card point of the infrastructure network, speed up the construction of the main port railway line, open up the China -Europe Class Line new channels to comprehensively improve the ability of China -EU strategic infrastructure.

The second is the good trend of stabilizing the development of the Central and EU trains. Close intergovernmental cooperation, further deepen political mutual trust with countries along the route, use the China -Europe trains as the focus of pragmatic cooperation, steadily promote multi -level cooperation in multiple fields, and jointly create a good development environment for the China -Europe trains. We will unswervingly play the decisive role of the market in the allocation of the resource allocation of the market, follow the laws of market development, respect the position of the enterprise, and establish a fair, standardized and transparent market business standards.

The third is to prevent and resolve major risks. China is willing to adhere to the concept of joint, comprehensive, cooperative, cooperative, and sustainable safety concepts, and put the concept of security development throughout the entire process of the construction of Central and EU trains to jointly create a model of international security transportation.

The fourth is to improve the quality of the development of China -Europe trains. Construction of prosperous trains, do a good job of market docking, planning docking, platform docking, and project docking; jointly build digital trains to strengthen the informationization, digitalization, and intelligent construction of China -Europe trains; jointly build green trains to deepen the China -Europe trains Transport the entire chain and ecological environmental protection cooperation of the full life cycle; jointly build a shared train to share the development opportunities of the China -Europe trains; build a humanistic train to further deepen humanistic exchanges and share valuable cultural wealth.
