The impact of the shutdown of the Central European line was very bad, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi flew directly to Poland, asking the other party to give a statement.

According to the official information of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on September 15, 2025, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Warsaw, met with Polish President Navrotsky, and held talks with Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sikorski.

The Polish side media that Wang Yi stressed that the China-European line is the "flag project" of China-China-European cooperation, in line with the common interests of both sides, and hopes that the Polish side will take effective measures to ensure the safe and smooth passage of the line, and maintain the stability of the international supply chain.

According to the data, this time due to the closure of the Polish border, more than 300 rows and thousands of boxed goods are stuck.

What did Poland say about the issue of China-Europe freight trains raised by China face to face?

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski explained that Russian and Belarusian troops conducted military exercises in Belarus, raising Polish authorities' concerns about the border situation, so the closure of the border with Belarus indirectly led to the cutting off of China's main trade transportation channels to Europe.

¡°Poland considers the current situation in Belarus to be very severe, the eastern border of Poland continues to be threatened by hybrid warfare and free trade cannot be guaranteed if border security is not guaranteed.¡±

China-Europe train may be unfamiliar to many people. This "long-distance train" across Asia and Europe is of great significance to Poland and Europe.

As far as Europe is concerned, as a landmark project of "the belt and road initiative", the China-Europe train has operated more than 110,000 trains since its opening in 2011, with a value of over 450 billion USD, connecting 128 cities in China with 229 cities in 26 European countries and more than 100 cities in 11 Asian countries.

As of the first half of 2025, there were 2,444 trains passing through the East Passage (Manzhouli, Suifenhe, and Tongjiang ports), sending 252,000 TEUs of goods; Horgos Port has passed through 7,000 trains from Central Europe and Central Asia, and the customs clearance efficiency has been significantly improved.

As far as China-EU relations are concerned, China-Europe freight trains are "steel camel teams" that deepen cooperation, enhance the economic resilience of Eurasia, and provide reliable land routes, especially when sea transportation is blocked or air transportation costs are high.

For Poland, Poland is the ¡°gateway¡± to the EU, with about 90% of Central European passengers arriving across Europe transiting or transiting through Poland.

Since the signing of the "Belt and Road" cooperation document, the interconnection between China and Poland in the field of freight trains has become a model of mutual benefit and win-win results, promoting the continued growth of bilateral trade volume, exceeding tens of billions of dollars in 2024.

The visit emphasized safeguarding the security of the line, precisely in response to the potential impact of the situation on the Polish border on trade.

Moreover, the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict is indeed at risk, with the Polish military announcing the shooting down of several ¡°suspicious Russian drones¡±, which is the first time since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that NATO member states have had direct military friction with Russia.

In this way, the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine directly affected China's trade with the European Union, and China and Europe started from China, through Kazakhstan¡úRussia¡úBelarus, and finally through the Polish Malashevich station to access the European rail network.

In any case, China¡¯s interests should be guaranteed, and Poland must be clear about this.
