China Europe train: delivering China's temperature and contributing to China's strength
In the spring of 2020, China Europe train once again ushered in the high light moment. Since February, reports on the China EU train have been springing up from major media. Baidu search engine input "China Europe train", the results up to 21.6 million, almost every one or two minutes, this number will continue to refresh. This is the biggest wave of reporting craze for China EU trains since the total number of trains opened at the end of 2019 exceeded 20000. They do not pull people, but only goods. They run across the vast continent between China and Europe, often without people. Why does this international freight train suddenly become "Internet red"? What does it bring to China and other countries along the line? What's the story behind the fire? More than 5000 international orders were delivered in April, according to Sany group, China's largest machinery manufacturer and a global economic powerhouse in Changsha, Hunan Province. Wuhan, Hubei Province, one of China's four largest automobile enterprises, SAIC GM's Wuhan company, has produced 10000 complete vehicles and 10000 engines each in just 20 days. Lenovo Group, the world's largest PC manufacturer, announced in April that 33 factories in China had returned to full production with 100% of their production, and the volume of shipments in the first quarter reached a record high. Since February, with the global spread of the epidemic and the sharp decline of international trade, enterprises from different cities and fields in China have sent the same signal that the "world factory" in China is speeding up its recovery. When it comes to the reasons behind this, the heads of many enterprises agree that China Europe train has made great contributions. The China Europe train refers to the international railway combined transport trains, such as containers, which run according to the fixed train number, route, schedule and the whole operation time, and travel between China and Europe as well as countries along the belt and road. After the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, people thought it would be affected, but it brought a pleasant surprise to everyone. Among the above enterprises, Sany group is in contact with China Europe train for the first time, but it is the same at first sight. On April 29, the "Sany" China Europe train set out from Changsha to Central Asia, with 46 carriages and a total cargo value of 1.5 million US dollars. "In February, we conducted a trial run of some of our products through the China Europe train, and the results were very good. In the future, this will be the fixed line." Huang Dong, manager of Logistics Department of Sany group, said, "this year, affected by the epidemic, the highway port is closed, and it is impossible to walk. With the assistance of relevant departments, we will change to railway, which will not only improve efficiency, but also reduce cost, as long as half a month." Twenty days before the departure of Sany, a train carrying 216 Chevy buses set out from Wuhan for Uzbekistan. This is the first time that SAIC General Motors has opened the whole vehicle export business to Central Asian countries via railway. "This not only confirms SAIC GM's quick response ability, but also shows that Wuhan is speeding up the resumption of production." SAIC GM relevant departments said. Compared with Sany group and SAIC GM, Lenovo Group is an "old friend" of China Europe train. Shortly after spring, a large number of Lenovo computers "took" the China Europe train to Europe. Their relationship is therefore more "iron.". "The China Europe train is our best choice." Fu Wenbin, head of Lenovo Group's supply chain in China, said that whether the goods can be delivered on time during the epidemic period is related to the reputation of the enterprise, and also improves the customer's confidence and satisfaction with the enterprise. "By helping the smooth delivery of the China Europe train, it proves that our choice is correct, and also confirms the maturity and stability of the train operation." Throughout the country, there are not a few who embrace the China EU train because of the epidemic. Zhao Jun, director of the freight Department of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd., said that from January to April this year, China Europe trains had 2920 trains and 262000 TEUs of goods, up 24% and 27% respectively year on year. In April, China Europe train ushered in the busiest month ever, with the total number of trains and three indicators of the number of trains going to and returning from China reaching a record. "Against the wind" and accelerating the gallop of the China EU train has effectively promoted the resumption of domestic enterprises, unblocked the global supply chain and played a role in stabilizing foreign trade. According to the data released by the General Administration of customs, the National Bureau of statistics and other departments, in the first quarter of this year, China's total import and export volume with countries along the "belt and road" totaled 2.07 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.2% year-on-year; in April, China's export volume increased by 8.2% year-on-year, with obvious signs of foreign trade recovery and accelerated recovery of economic and social activities. Many government officials, enterprises and media said that the adverse growth of China EU trains is a symbol of the great victory of China's epidemic prevention and control work, and also reflects the strong resilience of China's economy, injecting a "boost" into the global economy. The China EU trains are like Trains bound for "spring day", demonstrating China's strength in fighting against the epidemic and the speed of China's resumption of production Degrees.

The 75041 time the central European train leaves from Wu Jiashan station in Wuhan, heading for Belgrade, Serbia, to support Serbia and its surrounding countries against the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia. The China Europe train is expected to arrive in Belgrade 18 days later with 50 containers loaded with anti epidemic materials. This is not the first special train from Wuhan. On April 14 local time, Duisburg, Germany, has welcomed the anti epidemic materials train from Wuhan. "The goods and materials, especially medical goods and materials, which are transported from China by railway, are of great significance," said Yu st, Minister of transport of Norwich "Mountains and rivers are different, the wind and the moon are the same.". At the beginning of China's epidemic, the international community has given moral support and material assistance. When other countries are attacked by the epidemic, China feels the same way, donates medical protection materials to other countries and international organizations within its capacity, and interprets the concept of community of shared future of mankind with practical actions. Whether the epidemic prevention materials can be delivered in place or not, the smooth road is the key. The "counter trend" China Europe train just provides a reliable and efficient transportation guarantee. China Railway Group specially arranges to include the international cooperation anti epidemic materials into the key guarantee transportation, and make every effort to undertake the air and sea transportation of goods to ensure that they should be transported to the full. Since the first China EU train carrying anti epidemic materials exported to Europe started in Yiwu on March 21, by the end of April, China EU train had shipped 660000 pieces and 3142 tons of anti epidemic materials for international cooperation, mainly to Italy, Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Netherlands, Lithuania and other countries, and allocated them to more European countries. The contribution of China EU train to global cooperation in fighting the epidemic has been widely praised.

In foreign countries, the popularity of China Europe train has also increased rapidly. On May 6, a train carrying 7.4 million masks and a large number of protective clothing arrived in Germany. Evelyn nikuta, chairman of the freight business of German Railway Group, made a special trip to meet him and took photos online to call for the China Europe train. In the picture, she stood next to the train to display the Chinese masks, and her expression was very excited: "the train arrived on time, a large number of protective materials from China: millions of masks and protective equipment!" Similar scenes also appear in Spain and other countries. On April 6, after 16 days, the China Europe train from Yiwu entered Madrid station, Spain. Carlos Santana, general manager of the local railway freight operation company, told the media: "China has provided generous and selfless assistance to Spain in fighting the epidemic, and we sincerely thank you! The China EU train has become a bridge of friendship between the two countries. " Know each other far and near, ten thousand miles are still neighbors. In current Europe, people are still struggling with the epidemic. External help is a timely help. Breaking through the haze of the epidemic and crossing Asia and Europe, the China EU train is the epitome of China and Europe standing by each other and sharing weal and woe, which shows the great power's responsibility to jointly build the "belt and road" and the community of shared future for mankind. From "the world helps China" to "China returns the world", it not only delivers a large number of short supplies, but also the warmth and friendship from China. Flowers, applause and the growth Manifesto in the war "epidemic" the adverse growth of China Europe train is both beyond expectation and reasonable. China and Europe trains carry out segmented transportation, which does not involve personnel quarantine. Under the situation of epidemic prevention and control, China and Europe trains have unique advantages and have a strong alternative role in shipping and air transportation, which is an important reason for their "against the trend and fire". Behind this, the railway department has done a lot of work. In 2019, China Railway Group will continue to build the international logistics brand of China Europe train as an important measure to expand the railway opening up and going out and better serve the "belt and road" construction. Together with China Europe train operators, China Railway Group will jointly sign the Convention on promoting the high quality development of China Europe train, continuously strengthen and optimize the transportation organization, further reduce the logistics cost and promote countries The informatization construction among railway, customs and operation enterprises will improve the quantity and quality of China Europe trains.
