Guiyang, Guian's cross-border e-commerce transaction value surges in 2022

In recent years, Guizhou's provincial capital, Guiyang, has seized opportunities to construct its cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot areas and provide policy support for cross-border e-commerce development through the Belt and Road Initiative and relevant opening-up policies.

With these efforts, Guiyang and Guian New Area's cross-border e-commerce has grown from scratch and made progress in trade scale, business mode, platform construction and infrastructure construction.

Statistics show that currently, Guiyang and Guian have more than 12 cross-border e-commerce companies, which have achieved $1.06 billion in transaction volume in 2022, increasing by 112 percent year-on-year.

Last year, Guizhou sent out 34 freight trains on the China Railway Express, transporting more than 270,000 metric tons of cargo. On Jan 5 this year, Guizhou's first China Railway Express freight train departed from Guiyang's international dry port.

Guizhou is expected to operate five more freight trains this month, carrying more than 330 standard containers, which is expected to increase by 80 percent year-on-year.
