[Financial Channel/Comprehensive Report] It has been five months since the China-DPRK railway was suspended on April 29 due to epidemic prevention and control. Japan) officially restarted the freight business from Dandong to Sinuiju port.

Since Russia has just announced the mobilization order, huge quantities of weapons and supplies are urgently needed, and Li Zhanshu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the Chinese National People's Congress, expressed his support for Russia during his visit to Russia recently, and specifically mentioned that China will "cooperate from different aspects." The sudden restart of the railway at this sensitive time inevitably leads to speculation.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin was asked at a regular press conference today whether the China-DPRK railway has been restarted. Wang replied that China and the DPRK have decided to restart the railway freight from Dandong to Sinuiju port through friendly consultations recently, which is for the friendship between China and the DPRK. positive contribution to relationship development.

Yonhap also confirmed that a freight train departed from Dandong, China on the 26th and went to Sinuiju, North Korea via the China-North Korea Friendship Bridge.

In this regard, the South Korean Unification Ministry spokesman Zhao Zhongxun said that the Unification Ministry believes that China and North Korea have reached an agreement on railway freight transport, and it remains to be seen which goods will be transported.

China is North Korea's main trading partner, accounting for more than 90% of North Korea's trade volume, and the Dandong-Sinuiju Railway is an important trade hub between North Korea and China.

During the suspension of railway freight between China and North Korea, freight can only pass through the route between the Nampo port in North Korea and the ports of Qingdao and Yantai in China, and the transportation speed is greatly reduced.

The sudden restart of China-DPRK railway freight is surprising, and at a time when Putin announced a mobilization order to urgently need a huge amount of weapons and supplies, it is inevitable for the outside world to doubt whether China will transfer the armaments needed by Putin through North Korea.

Even if North Korean leader Kim Jong Un refutes rumors of military aid to Russia, he cannot cut the alliance between China, North Korea and Russia.

In addition, Li Zhanshu, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, expressed his support for Russia when he visited Russia recently. The official website of the Russian State Duma also exposed pictures of Li's conversation. Li said that "the current Ukraine issue, the United States and NATO are directly pressing Russia's door. , which involves Russia's national security and people's life safety. Under such circumstances, Russia takes measures that it thinks should be taken, and China understands it and gives "cooperation" from different aspects." This remark once again confirms that China supports Russia .
