According to Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce, as the gateway to the east along the Yangtze River in southwest China, the municipality has long relied on the Yangtze River waterway for its import and export. Though Yangtze River enjoys a large shipping capacity, its route remains time-consuming.
Taking advantage of the Belt and Road, Chongqing has built and improved transportation for greater development.
Chongqing is taking measures to make its hinterland a highland of openness, with the China-Europe Railway Express to the west, the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor (ILSTC) connecting the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to the south, the Yangtze River Golden Waterway connects to the sea as well as the multi-modal public transport network.
All of these enable Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road to be organically connected in Chongqing.
Meanwhile, Chongqing implements policies on in-depth market diversification and supports enterprises to make use of cross-border e-commerce, national trading platforms, and shopping centers for overseas products.
