China’s new land-sea trade corridor sees 4.5-fold surge in highway cargo value in Jan-Oct The value of cross-border highway freight handled by China’s New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor surged 4.5-fold year-on-year to over 15 billion yuan ($2.11 billion) in the first 10 months of the year. Reported on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, this progress highlights a major boost in logistics efficiency and underscores the resilience and diversification potential of China’s foreign trade. This key logistics network, linking China’s western regions to Southeast Asia, Central, and South Asia, recorded over 11,000 cross-border truck trips from January to October. Operating from its hub in Chongqing, the corridor connects to 581 ports globally and recently launched its first intercontinental rail-sea intermodal route to South America, cutting transit time by about 15 days. The corridor provides a stable and reliable channel for global commerce, particularly for Belt and Road partner countries.
