The first freight train to make its way from China to Europe has passed through the Turkish capital. The China Railway Express is also called the "Iron Silk Road." It's part of Beijing's far-reaching 'Belt and Road' infrastructure project. China aims to use the train to transport goods across the two continents in less than two weeks. Shamim Chowdhury travelled to Ankara to meet it.

In time, with the necessary infrastructure developments, coordination of the customs and other procedures between the countries on the route will  decrease the travel time. Every new alternative route of transport has a positive effect on trade and development.

I thought Turkey cared more about their oppressed Uighur "brothers". Apparently, money talks louder.

Boycott Chinese goods.
If our governments wont then the people should not buy Chinese products like phones, clothing ,mechanic's etc. There are always alternatives such as Samsung (korea) or Vietnam's and Bangladesh who make many clothing and even Europe more mechanics.

The railroad will not bring money to turkey, it will take over the Turkish retail with cheap chinese goods.
Railroad is like the old telegram, cut the line in one spot and it is out of service.6 guys with three motorcycles can stop this for good.

Muslim powers should block the economic roads that benefit other nations more than ours.

China has been oppressing muslims for years. Yet the likes of Pakistan and Turkey failed to use the economic skill roads as a political leverage.

Limited cargo space, and lengthy timelines for product arrival, is a failed design that can not be overcome. Rail will fail.
