 In this study, a close look at the new logistics networks emerging between China and the Eurasian continent, driven by case studies, sheds valuable light on what "Chinese globalization" might look like.

The authors investigate five cases, including Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Yiwu, the five largest operations in China-Europe Freight Train, demonstrating how the China Railway Corporation and local governments compete for the control of logistic centers, how local governments launched various programs to support such operations, how state-owned enterprises competed with private companies in controlling the operations, how logistic companies, both state-owned and private, adopted various innovations trying to bring down the cost, how trade between China and European countries developed as an outcome of these freight train operations. This book will be of value to scholars of logistics, of China, and of the Chinese globalization now underway.
