What China’s launch of a railway bypassing russia means
Kazakhstan and China are launching a new railway route that will allow cargo transportation to Europe while bypassing russia.
▫️ China benefits from developing alternative infrastructure to secure its logistics against challenges caused by russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The decision of some Western companies to stop using routes passing through russian territory has highlighted russia’s unreliability as a transit corridor to Europe.
Despite ru-propaganda’s claims of an “eternal and sincere friendship with China,” Beijing’s decision to advance its infrastructure projects without involving russia demonstrates its purely pragmatic approach to relations with moscow.
