Not sure if this applies to rail transport also. It does say "transport goods through #Russia BY ROAD"
Any confirmation available?

1. A noninsignificant amount of freight transport from China to Europe is through road network like the

2. It would be unwise to underestimate the potential of this escalating to a rail network cutoff by Russia in order to further hammer the EU economy by cutting off essential goods(to further drive up EU inflation) and weaken industries(by reducing Europe’s exports to Chinese markets)

Russia is just doing counter sanctions on the EU. The EU does not allow Russian trucks to travel through their territory so they are basically doing the same. If the trucks are Chinese I doubt there will be an issue.

Not good for China since the BRI network from China to Europe transits through portions of Russia

I am 99% sure that this decision to reciprocate Russia's counter-sanction was coordinated with China.

Actually as the power disparity continue to shift in India’s favor, Pakistan may need to tone down its hostility towards India. Pakistan can’t afford to compete with India when it can barely grow its own economy. A “peace” deal between india and Pakistan is possible in the future.

China had had increased power disparity with India for 5 decades. Yet India never signed a peace deal. Why does Pakistan have to do so? Can India afford to compete with china?

I hope that's the case. If they only ban western transport companies and western trucks but not Chinese ones than that's a boon for Chinese transport companies.

I always feel Chinese transport companies should be taking a larger share of world market than they do right now.

Germany is more of an occupied country. Similar to Japan.

Kicking them out peacefully could be the greatest achievement for a German Chancellor. Merkel had the chance to do it with Trump but unfortunately she didnt grasp that rare opportunity

Rumor has it that the US occupation of Germany will last until 2099.
