China is accelerating its presence in global trade by integrating air, land, and sea transport into a unified, fast-moving logistics network. As part of this effort, China’s domestically produced C909 regional aircraft has officially entered commercial service in Vietnam. On April 19, the Hanoi–Con Dao–Ho Chi Minh route was launched, marking the beginning of the aircraft’s international operations. So far, three foreign airlines in Southeast Asia have used the C909 across 15 routes, carrying over 250,000 passengers.
On the same day, a China-Europe freight train departed from the Erenhot railway port in Inner Mongolia, pushing the number of trips via the central China-Europe corridor to over 1,000 for this year. This railway connects China directly to countries like Germany and Poland. Meanwhile, maritime transport is also booming. In the first quarter of 2025, the “Silk Road Shipping” service completed 1,098 voyages, handling 1.27 million containers. By combining air, rail, and sea transport into a single system, China is creating a high-speed, integrated gateway to global trade.
