Under the impact of the epidemic, China Europe trains continued to operate stably and safely, creating a resilient supply chain channel and a "life channel" to fight the epidemic. Katrina zaziqi, a European scholar in the field of logistics and transportation, wrote that the epidemic affected traditional shipping and maritime transportation, and railway transportation played an important role in coping with the logistics crisis and ensuring the stability of the supply chain. Eurasia Railway Logistics Co., Ltd. is held by Russian railway company, Kazakhstan national railway company and Belarus railway company. It mainly provides transit transportation services for China Europe trains in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Alexei grom, President of the company, introduced that the railway freight volume of the company has increased rapidly in recent years, and the business volume development goal preset for 2024 has been completed ahead of schedule. In the first 10 months of 2021, the company's freight business volume of China Europe trains increased by 30.8% year-on-year. "The new freight demand, the trust gradually accumulated by customers and the continuous improvement of transportation corridors make us very optimistic about the prospect of railway transportation in Eurasia." Over the past 10 years, China Europe trains have reached 180 cities in 23 European countries and transported more than 50000 kinds of goods.

Brassne, head of logistics multimodal transport freight station in Liege, Belgium, said that since its launch at the end of 2018, the number of China EU trains from China to Liege has increased to 7 per week. The operation of China Europe train not only increases local employment, but also makes Liege one of the most important logistics hubs in Western Europe. With the further improvement of infrastructure in the future, the transport capacity of China EU trains from China to lieri is expected to increase by more than three times. "The China EU train brings closer trade ties between Europe and China." European media generally believe that driven by China's huge consumer market, the number of China EU trains has increased and continued to extend, which has promoted the economic development of countries and regions along the line. Investment willingness continues to rise The annual report jointly released by the EU China Chamber of Commerce and Roland Berger enterprise management consulting company in October last year showed that although affected by the epidemic, the performance of Chinese enterprises in Europe increased against the trend last year. According to statistics, 92% of the surveyed Chinese enterprises believe that the fundamentals of China EU economic and trade cooperation will not change, 52% of the surveyed enterprises are willing to maintain sustainable operation in the EU, and 44% of the enterprises hope to expand their investment in the EU. Wu Deke, President of the European Chamber of Commerce in China, said that under the background of the epidemic, the business of European enterprises in China is generally good, and the turnover and profits of member enterprises of the European Chamber of Commerce in China continue to grow. In recent years, China has made greater efforts to open up the market access of European enterprises in many fields, and European enterprises have obtained more development opportunities in the Chinese market. The Chinese market has become an important pillar of the global business of many European multinational enterprises, and member enterprises are generally optimistic about the Chinese market. Xu Haifeng, President of the EU China Chamber of Commerce, said that the fundamental trend of the sustainable development of China EU economic and trade relations has not changed. The importance of the EU as an overseas investment destination for Chinese enterprises continues to rise, and Chinese enterprises have a strong willingness to continue to invest in the EU market.

Strengthening economic and trade cooperation between Europe and China will promote the rapid recovery of the global economy. Green cooperation expands opportunities Experts believe that in the future, China and the EU should further tap the potential of cooperation in addressing climate change, circular economy, environmental technology, green finance and other fields, and constantly expand a new platform for deepening bilateral economic and trade exchanges. At present, China EU green cooperation is in the ascendant. From electric buses to new energy cars to power batteries, China's new energy transportation industry has actively contributed to the green travel of European cities. He Yipeng, general manager of BYD Europe Co., Ltd., said that BYD has brought green environmental protection solutions to more than 100 cities in more than 20 countries in Europe. "China EU green cooperation has broad prospects.

In June 2021, Thales Shanghai Electric Thales, a joint venture of Thales in China, signed an agreement with Tongji University to jointly build a smart rail transit joint engineering technology research center. Beijiehong said that China is promoting the implementation of the "double carbon" goal. It is of great significance for Europe and China to further strengthen cooperation in the field of green and low carbon. The company will provide more green environmental protection solutions in the fields of aviation, rail transit, digital identity and security. Xu Haifeng believes that both China and the EU have great demand for green economic development and broad space for cooperation. China EU enterprises deepen cooperation in relevant fields, jointly develop alternative technologies and promote the transformation of technological achievements, which will help promote the transformation and large-scale application of green industries. Woodke said that China is promoting the transformation and development of green and low-carbon energy, and establishing and improving an efficient and feasible carbon emission trading mechanism will bring important opportunities to European enterprises in China.
