Poland's Lodz benefits from China-Poland rail cargo connection

Photo taken on April 19, 2017 shows a cow farm in the village of Lipnice, near the Polish capital of Warsaw. Never before has Mariusz Marczak showned so much interest in the Chinese market half a world away from Poland. Just about 60 kilometers west of Marczak's cow farm, the Polish city of Lodz now has a direct cargo railway connection with Chengdu, capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province. The rail connection is one of the symbolic projects of the Belt and Road Initiative, a China-proposed transnational network of trade, investment and economic development. (Xinhua/Chen Xu)
