China-Europe freight train X9202 loaded with cars, accessories, food and clothes bound for Ulan Bator of Mongolia prepares to leave a railway station in north China's Tianjin Municipality, May 20, 2020. Initiated in 2011, the China-Europe rail transport service is considered a significant part of the Belt and Road Initiative to boost trade between China and countries participating in the program. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the service remained a reliable transportation channel as air, sea and road transportation have been severely affected. The freight trains have also been playing a crucial role in helping with the fight against the pandemic in Europe, sending massive quantities of medical supplies such as face masks and goggles.
