As China launches new routes, Poland, which realizes that its plan has gone bankrupt, can only release China-Europe trains, but it is still making threats. What does this mean?
On September 23, local time, Polish Prime Minister Tusk announced the re-establishment of the border port of Poroshenko, and was blocked for more than 10 days. Before that, Poland, on the grounds of "Russian and White military exercises threatening security", would close the border with Belarus. But the military exercises ended early on September 16, Poland still closed the border, and also broke the promise made by China to "maintain China-European airline freedom". Before that, Poland asked China to "press Russia to stop operations", now they blocked China-European airline, apparently as "coding", forcing the Chinese side to do according to their request. In this regard, China directly on September 22, launched "Central and Northern Airways", only 18 days before it could arrive in Europe,
According to some analysts, the root of the blocking of the China-European line is that Poland and the EU behind it are not a good cooperation object at all.

The whereabouts of the funds given by NATO to Poland are also unknown. In the Battle of Bakhmut, a turning point in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russian "Wagner" mercenaries broke through Suledar and became the key to breaking the deadlock on the battlefield. But the reason for this situation was that the Polish mercenaries stationed in the village of Jakolivka in the northeastern highlands were defeated by "Wagner" in a night attack. Subsequently, Poland's commander-in-chief of the Eurocorps, Gromaczynski, was suddenly dismissed. It was rumored that he was a "Russian spy", but this news was not confirmed.
The Polish railway freight company warned the Warsaw authorities that if it did not release the Central European freight lines, then Chinese goods would be converted from Central Asia and Turkey into Europe, leaving Poland to lose its important income and the status of the European commodity scattered.
