The China-Europe Railway Express has now regularized its full-schedule, time-definite service product.

The Maritime Code of the People's Republic of China, which has undergone its first comprehensive revision in 30 years, will officially come into force on May 1, 2026.

Fifteen years ago, China's first China-Europe Railway Express departed from Chongqing and exited through the Alashankou Port, opening a new chapter in Eurasian land transport. Over the past 15 years, the cumulative number of China-Europe (Central Asia) freight trains passing through the Alashankou Port under customs supervision has exceeded 53,000, accounting for over 30% of the national total.

In 2025, seven Chinese ports made it into the global top 20: Shanghai (3rd), Hong Kong (4th), Ningbo-Zhoushan (7th), Guangzhou (12th), Qingdao (13th), Shenzhen (17th), and Tianjin (18th).
