China’s New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor — a major logistics initiative connecting western inland regions to global markets — achieved a 30% year-on-year rise in cargo volume in 2025 according to Chongqing’s port and logistics office. The corridor, centered in Chongqing Municipality, transported 327,700 TEUs of goods worth over 58.31 billion yuan (around USD 8.3 billion). This growth underscores western China’s expanding role in international trade and logistics efficiency improvements.
Connecting Western China with the Global Supply Chains
The corridor’s multimodal transport system links Chongqing to overseas destinations via seaports and border ports in Guangxi and Yunnan, offering faster and more cost-effective shipping alternatives compared with traditional coastal routes. Its network now reaches 584 ports in 127 countries and regions, handling more than 1,300 product types — ranging from electronics, automobiles, machinery to industrial parts.
Implications for Global Buyers & Suppliers
For global buyers and suppliers, this surge signals improved accessibility to western China’s manufacturing base, reduced transit times, and diversified sourcing and transport options. The enhanced connectivity strengthens Chongqing’s status as a trade hub and provides international partners with greater supply chain stability and resilience. Businesses seeking to integrate with China’s inland industrial ecosystem can expect increasing reliability and competitiveness through this rapidly expanding trade corridor.
