[Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] Despite global traffic restrictions incurred by the spread of COVID-19, the China-Europe Railway Express has become a "major international logistics channel", ensuring the stability of supply chains for countries along the route. The China-Europe freight trains, named "Chang'an" in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, have seen steady operation despite the pandemic. "It took around 15 days for these trains to arrive in Europe from Xi'an. It is much faster than sea transportation, basically about one-third of the time," said Wu Guangqiang, a staff member of the traffic bureau governing the Xi'an International Trade and Logistic Park.
