In the post-pandemic era, global supply chains are at risk of disruption. The China Railway Express has risen against the trend, leading to a "bond of destiny". Since the outbreak of the epidemic, shipping containers have been stranded in overseas ports, and domestic "one container is hard to find", the number of shipping routes has decreased, and shipping prices have soared. On the contrary, the China-Europe freight train has bucked the trend. The shipping was blocked, and the China-Europe freight train solved the urgent need of China-Europe trade logistics and transportation. The rise of the China Railway Express against the trend is due to its safer and more efficient advantages compared to sea and air transportation. The China-Europe freight train implements segmented transportation, changing drivers and fronts at the borders of various countries along the way. The driver does not cross the border and does not involve personnel quarantine. The transportation time of the train is only one-third of that of the sea, and the current price is comparable to that of the sea, and the efficiency is higher.

At the same time, the explosive growth of freight volume has also brought many challenges to the China-Europe freight train. Due to the transfer of a large amount of goods by sea, the China-Europe freight train has also experienced a shortage of space, and the sharp increase in freight volume has also begun to cause congestion at ports along the line, and the time limit of the train has been affected to a certain extent.

China Railway Express is further improving service quality, reducing operating costs, and enhancing brand competitiveness and influence in the international logistics market. The future China Railway Express will become an international logistics chain with complete infrastructure, more market competitiveness and brand value, and will play a more important role in maintaining the stability of the global supply chain.
