In March 2011, the first China-Europe freight train departed from Chongqing to Duisburg, Germany, marking the beginning of the innovative development of China-Europe freight train.Over the past decade, more than 40,000 china-Europe freight trains have been set up. In 2020 alone, more than 10,000 china-Europe freight trains have been set up, with a total value of over us $200 billion. 73 routes have been opened, connecting more than 160 cities in 22 European countries.Over the past decade, the China-Europe freight trains have brought business opportunities to tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign enterprises, brought tangible benefits to hundreds of millions of people along the routes, opened a new chapter in asia-Europe land transport, and forged a bridge of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation among countries along the routes.

It is worth mentioning that since the outbreak of COVID-19, the China-Europe Freight Train, a steel camel train, has taken on the sacred mission of "passage for life" and shipped 11.99 million pieces of 94,000 tons of anti-epidemic materials to Europe.

The prosperity of china-Europe express trains, an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative, speaks to the growing resilience and vitality of the Belt and Road Initiative.
