Nanning, November 30 (Xinhua) — As of Saturday, a total of 5 million standard containers (TEU) of cargo had been transported along the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, a key logistics route connecting western China with global markets, according to the Nanning branch of China Railways (CR).
This corridor connects the Silk Road Economic Belt in the north and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road in the south, seamlessly linking with the Yangtze River Economic Belt, defining its key strategic role in the architecture of coordinated regional development. Since its pilot launch in 2017, it has become a strategic route linking China's hinterland with markets in ASEAN countries and beyond.
As of Saturday, cargo turnover along the aforementioned trade corridor reached 1.31 million TEU this year, an increase of more than 50 percent year-on-year.
“Although it took more than four years to deliver the first million TEUs, the fifth million was reached in just 240 days, clearly demonstrating the dynamic vitality and expanding reach of the corridor,” said Zhong Chaowen of Guangxi Yanhai Railway Co., Ltd.
According to the data, since the beginning of 2025, exports along this corridor have mainly included chemical products, mechanical parts, and new energy vehicles, while imports have been represented mainly by bauxite, coal, and grain.
In the first three quarters of this year, imports and exports through this corridor in western China totaled 611.5 billion yuan (approximately $86.4 billion), up 19.3 percent year-on-year. This corridor contributed to the overall growth of foreign trade in the country's western regions by 3.4 percentage points.
