In the early morning of the 25th, the Polish government reopened its border crossing with Belarus, which meant that the long-awaited China-Europe freight train could finally move forward again. Prior to this, the Polish government unilaterally closed all Polish-Belarusian border crossings on the grounds of "ensuring the safety of Polish citizens." Because the Russian and Belarusian armed forces held a joint strategic exercise codenamed "West-2025" in the Belarusian border area.
Prior to this, Russian drones had entered Polish airspace again, which made the Polish side feel a deep “threat”. After all, since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries have shipped weapons to Ukraine, mainly from Poland’s territory into Ukraine.
The pressure on China has failed, and Poland, which has rushed to release the Central European ranks, seems to have not yet succeeded in China, and has made a direct mistake, putting a new requirement on the Chinese side.
So what exactly did Poland demand? Will China agree? Obviously not.
In an interview with U.S. media, the Polish foreign minister said that China is the only country that can force Russia to end the crisis in Ukraine, but China is not willing to do so.
In response, the spokesman of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not be polite to him. He directly turned back against the Polish army, pointing out that the country that did not want the conflict to end, kept adding fuel to the fire, and even made a fortune from it was not China, and blaming China would not solve the problem.
As we all know, it is NATO that really vigorously provides military aid and intelligence to Ukraine. It is these continuous aids that keep the conflict between Ukraine and Russia continuing. Even when US President Trump is not very interested in aiding Ukraine, many European countries still claim to We must firmly support Ukraine in continuing to fight. Therefore, it is clear at a glance who wants the conflict to continue and who is adding fuel to the fire.
If the West really wants the conflict to end, it only needs to stop aid to Ukraine, and the effect will be immediate. But the West will not do this, because arms dealers are making a lot of war fortunes in it, and because their fundamental purpose is to weaken Russia through conflicts. In this case, they are naturally unwilling to let the conflicts stop.
The Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was invited to visit Poland and had a three-hour conversation with the Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.After the meeting, the two sides issued a joint statement to ensure the operation of the Central European line.Finally, on September 23, Polish Prime Minister Tusk announced the opening of the border headquarters.
In fact, during the 11 days after the port was closed, many China-Europe freight train operators have begun to test other routes to avoid sole dependence on Poland. As one of the "biggest beneficiaries" of China-Europe freight trains, Poland relies on transit fees and freight forwarding services to earn considerable income every year. It can also use its status as a logistics hub to promote the upgrading of local industries. Now, due to short-sightedness, it has personally made this "golden rice bowl" a crack appears.
The opening of the Central European Arctic Express flight has also made Poland aware of its short-sightedness.The Central European Arctic Express flight takes only 18 days, shortened by 4 per cent compared to the Central European airline, and reduced carbon emissions by half, perfectly matching the demand of Western European enterprises for "high-time efficiency, low energy consumption".
The Polish government simply failed to grasp the primary and secondary contradictions and attempted to abduct the spillover of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the geopolitical game of the United States from the China-Europe freight train in an attempt to influence China's foreign policy. This is obviously an extremely wrong act. The essence of this incident is not a trade issue at all, nor is it a so-called security issue, but diplomatic coercion against China in the form of foreign trade security.
Now China can choose the route, in addition to the Arctic route, can also choose to go to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, directly bypass Poland. Poland this kind of self-thinking can dominate European affairs, fighting "anti-Russia" dare in the key issues of the European Union, and not only reflected in blocking the passage of the European Union.
For example, Poland has always been an active advocate of confiscating Russian overseas assets. It never thought that doing so would lead to the collapse of EU financial credit, forcing then German Chancellor Scholz to publicly criticize Poland for going its own way and never considering the consequences.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been raging for three years. Although Russia has been shed a lot of blood, Russia has basically achieved its main strategic goals, and its "true friends" in the international arena are increasing day by day.
On the other hand, Ukraine can't recognize the situation clearly and is led by the nose by the United States. Not only has one's own country been beaten to pieces, but if one wants to rebuild it in the future, the manpower and material resources consumed will also require a huge amount of money.
