For more than a month, Houthi military operations in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait have sparked a geopolitical storm. This "black swan" event, which is regarded as the Red Sea, has had a huge impact on world shipping. According to Wall Street, the Red Sea route issue has not been resolved for a long time, which has brought great challenges to Europe's ** chain. The Suez route is responsible for nearly 23% of Europe's import and export traffic, but the outbreak of the Red Sea incident has forced European ships to detour to and from Africa, and shipping costs and transportation times have increased significantly. This has hit a large number of producers in Europe, with many factories having to announce intermittent shutdowns. The European Union** also mentioned in an interview that a series of chain reactions have exposed the EU to price and economic threats**. In order to reduce the huge losses caused by the "black swan" event in the Red Sea, some European companies have begun to seek an alternative to the China-Europe train. The extent of the damage suffered varies from country to country. Germany, for example, has its third-largest chemical industry, but is highly dependent on Asia for raw material imports. Thus, the events on the Red Sea route caused huge losses to Germany. As one of the European shipping giants, the Red Sea incident in the Netherlands has reduced the cost of the relatively low-cost "Shanghai-Rotterdam" route by 200%. France's furniture retail and merchandise retail sectors have also suffered huge losses. The economic commissioner within the EU even ** said that if the situation persists, inflation could increase by almost 1 percentage point across the eurozone. This Red Sea incident not only affected the shipping routes, but also had great significance from the point of view of sea power. The United States maintains its global hegemony through sea power, giving it the ability to control critical global waters, such as deploying aircraft carrier fleets and military bases. However, the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea has in fact changed global shipping routes, making many countries and companies more inclined to land power, such as the China-Europe Express. In fact, this change is a good thing for China, because we have ushered in the transition from land power to sea power by virtue of our good reputation over the years and our adherence to the principle of the bottom line. Of course, we cannot ignore the emergence of anti-ship missiles, UAVs and hypersonics, which pose a significant threat to sea power.
Due to the activities of the Houthis in the Red Sea region, the Red Sea route has become the focus of attention. This route is one of the most important shipping routes between Asia and Europe, and is responsible for transporting a large number of import and export goods. However, due to the occurrence of the Red Sea incident, ships were forced to make a detour to Africa, and the transportation time and cost increased significantly, which brought great challenges to the ** chain and economy of European countries. According to statistics, the Red Sea incident has already caused huge losses to the European economy. As one of the largest economies in Europe, Germany's economic development is inseparable from imported raw materials. However, due to the problems of the Red Sea route, Germany's chemical industry was seriously affected, and the shortage of raw materials led to the stagnation of production. The Netherlands, as a shipping giant in Europe, also dealt a huge blow to the Red Sea incident. The previously low-cost "Shanghai-Rotterdam" route, which previously had a 200% increase in transportation costs due to the change of routes, also had a serious negative impact on the Dutch economy. France's furniture retail and merchandise retail sectors have also been hit hard by the Red Sea incident, with many companies having to reduce production or even stop working. As a result of a series of ripple effects, economic commissioners within the EU are concerned about the future economic outlook, with inflation rising by almost 1 percentage point across the eurozone. In order to solve the problem of the Red Sea route, some European companies have begun to set their sights on the China-Europe train. As a mode of land transport, the China-Europe Railway Express offers an alternative for European countries. It transports goods from Asia directly to Europe by rail, avoiding the uncertainties and risks associated with the Red Sea route. This allows many businesses to alleviate transportation issues, reduce costs, and ensure the stability of the ** chain. The development of China-Europe freight trains will continue to be valued and supported by European countries, providing an opportunity for more land transportation to replace sea transportation.
China's construction of the China-Europe Railway Express to connect Asia with Europe is a reshaping of land power. For a long time, the United States maintained its global hegemony by controlling sea power. The U.S. deploys aircraft carrier fleets in key sea areas around the world, controls vital shipping lanes, and implements a point-of-control strategy through military bases. However, a series of events triggered by the Red Sea route issue have changed global shipping routes, pushing many countries and companies to seek land transportation, especially the China-Europe freight train. China's intention to build the China-Europe Railway Express is to expand the land transport corridor and reduce the dependence on sea transportation, so as to reduce risks and ensure the stability of the first chain. This transformation is of great strategic significance, because it not only changes the pattern of sea power dominance in the past, but also enables China to have a greater voice and influence in the world. The occurrence of the Red Sea incident, for China almost no action, ushered in the transformation of land power to sea power. This shows that China's national fortunes are on the rise, consolidating its global position. Of course, we cannot ignore the emergence of new threats. With the development of anti-ship missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and hypersonics**, sea power faces unprecedented challenges. Therefore, China needs to continuously improve its land power strategy, and through reform and innovation, make the China-Europe freight train a more efficient and reliable land transportation mode to meet the needs of all parties.
The occurrence of events in the Red Sea had a significant impact on European countries and the global economy. The ** chain of European countries is blocked, enterprises suffer losses, prices **, and the economy is threatened. This incident has triggered a shift in attention to the China-Europe freight train, and China's rise in land power will bring more opportunities and challenges. China's construction of China-Europe freight trains connecting the Eurasian continent has reduced its dependence on sea transportation and provided an opportunity for land transportation to replace sea transportation. However, sea power remains an indispensable part of the world economic landscape, and the United States' hegemony in the world still exists. In order to solve the problem of sea power, China needs to continuously upgrade its land power strategy to adapt to the emergence of new threats and ensure the efficient and reliable operation of China-Europe freight trains. The occurrence of the Red Sea incident is an opportunity for China and an affirmation of China's land power. Through a good reputation and adherence to the principle of the bottom line, China has successfully ushered in the transformation of land power to sea power, which marks the rise of China's national fortunes.
