On September 15 local time, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Poland to hold talks with senior Polish officials on the issue of the China-European ban stop.

Poland's closure of the border with Belarus has caused more than hundreds of Central European ships to get stuck and thousands of checkboxes are unable to pass through.

This unexpected incident not only had a serious impact on China-EU trade, but also put the landmark project of the "the belt and road initiative" initiative in trouble. The core of Foreign Minister Wang Yi's trip is to ask Poland to give a clear explanation on the suspension of China-Europe trains.

As an important logistics channel of the Belt and Road, China and Europe have operated more than 110,000 routes since March 19, 2011, delivering goods worth more than $4500 billion, connecting 128 cities in China, 229 cities in 26 countries in Europe, and more than 100 cities in 11 Asian countries.

This land transportation line across the Asian European continent is known as the "steel hammer" of international trade.

Especially when sea transportation is blocked or air transportation costs are high, China-Europe freight trains provide a stable and efficient alternative.

For Poland, the Central European line is also an important pillar of its economic development, about 90% of the line must be transferred through Poland to all parts of Europe.

In recent years, China¡¯s cooperation in the field has become a model of mutual benefit and win-win, promoting the continued growth of bilateral trade.

However, the Polish side recently closed its border with Belarus, directly cutting off the main passageway to Central Europe.

The Polish side explained that the drone incidents and the Russian-White joint military exercises in Belarus have raised Polish concerns about border security.

Poland believes that the current border situation is very serious and the threat of hybrid warfare persists. "If border security cannot be guaranteed, free trade cannot be ensured."

This decision has caused hundreds of lines to get stuck, thousands of packed goods are unable to transport to their destination, causing a major impact on the stability of China-European trade.

China has taken diplomatic action quickly.

On September 15, local time, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Polish President navrocki in Warsaw and held talks with Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sikorski.

China's Foreign Ministry stressed that the China-Europe line is the "flag project" of China-China-Europe cooperation, which concerns the common interests of both sides, but also is an important guarantee for the stability of the international supply chain.

The Chinese foreign minister expressed hope that Poland will take effective measures to ensure the safe and smooth passage of the line.

Poland reiterated the security consideration of closing the border, but also recognized the importance of China-Europe trains to Polish and European economies, and expressed its willingness to jointly ensure the safety and smoothness of China-Europe trains.

Behind this incident, the spillover effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict cannot be ignored.

Relations between Poland and Russia were further tense due to the conflict, with the Polish military shooting down a suspected Russian drone, the first time a NATO member has had a direct military friction with Russia.

The geopolitical complexity has not only made the closure of the Polish border "forced", but also made the future operation of the Central European ranks face more uncertainty.

As an important logistics channel for the Belt and Road Initiative, the stability and security of China and Europe are facing serious challenges.

The suspension of China-Europe freight trains not only affects China-Europe trade, but also shocks the global supply chain.

Stranded goods lead to extended delivery cycles, higher logistics costs, and may even trigger order cancellations and business losses. More importantly, this incident has brought a potential impact on the promotion of the "the belt and road initiative" initiative.

How to ensure the stable operation of China-Europe trains in the complex geopolitical environment has become a problem that China, Poland and countries along the route need to face together.

Will the emergency visit of Foreign Minister Wang Yi resolve the crisis?Does Central Europe need to open up new lines to reduce dependence on high-risk areas?
