A new rail link was launched recently on the New Silk Road connecting Wuwei, in the Gansu province, with Hamburg in Germany. Unlike others, this new service avoids the busy Malaszewicze border crossing. Instead, it follows a different route into the EU via the Bruzgi-Kuznica corridor on the Belarusian/Polish border and arrives in Poland in just 13 days. In the words of Gansu Platform Company: “It has become the fastest China-Europe train”.
