The Chinese regime paid subsidies to maintain and develop the freight train operations that connect China with Central Asia and Europe, according to government documents exclusively obtained by The Epoch Times from a trusted source. Experts said that this railway would allow China to build ties with other countries in a bid to decouple from the United States.
“The Chinese regime is preparing for a potential decoupling from the United States, as well as maintaining its fragile economic system, by using the freight train to export more products to Europe and Central Asia,” Tang Jingyuan, U.S.-based China affairs commentator, told The Epoch Times on May 4.
