Poland Is A Key Node For China-Europe Freight Trains, Which Can Benefit Poland And Drive The Economy, So It Cannot Be Stopped.
In Europe, the ocean-going water transportation is developed in Britain, France and the Netherlands. Poland is located in the Baltic Sea and has an advantage in waterways as Germany and Denmark. Moreover, Poland has no major ports, so it cannot compete with those countries in Western Europe. Originally, Ukraine also had land transportation advantages
Recently, due to the Russian-Belgian exercise, Poland closed the Polish-Belgian land port, which affected the China-Europe freight trains operating along the Belt and Road. However, Poland will not be closed for too long, because that will not benefit Poland. The China-Europe Express itself is Poland's advantage, and they will not give up their interests.

In Europe, the ocean-going water transportation is developed in Britain, France and the Netherlands. Poland is located in the Baltic Sea and has an advantage in waterways as Germany and Denmark. Moreover, Poland has no major ports, so it cannot compete with those countries in Western Europe. But Poland has the advantage of land transportation, especially when most of the goods transported from Asia have to pass through Poland, including the China-Europe freight train.
Originally, Ukraine also had an advantage in land transportation, but it affected traffic during the war. Now Poland is a key node for the China-Europe freight train, and it can be said to be a must-pass place. It is safer than traveling from Ukraine, faster than transporting from the Black Sea, and shorter distances than coming from Türkiye.
China-Europe Express
Therefore, the China-Europe freight train can drive the economy and benefit Poland for Poland. Poland can charge tolls if it does nothing, and can also drive related supporting industries, promote Polish agricultural products to countries along the route by taking the China-Europe freight train, and also bring the products Poland needs. Geographically speaking, Poland is the east gate for the China-Europe freight train to truly enter Europe and is a fortress. Other countries want this location advantage.
Poland's location is critical
Therefore, Poland's closure of ports was suspended and the China-Europe freight train was only temporarily. It will resume operation when the exercise is over or confirmed to be safe. After all, this is also Poland's economic path. The train brings products purchased by European countries. It is impossible to stop the goods when they reach the door. As long as Poland is smart enough to find a safe and economical development path. Don’t learn from Ukraine. I hope Poland will think about it seriously.
