Abstract: The Eurasian international transportation corridor is called Eurasian Land Bridge in China. After the Soviet Union collapse, the number of the Eurasian transportation corridors which can be used or possibly can be used by China increases. Except for “East-West” transport corridor and “Central” transport corridor, it is possible to increase “Europe-Caucasia-Asia”transportation corridor, “China-Kazakhstan-Iran-turkey-Europe” transport corridor, “China-Kyrghyzstan-Uzbekstan-Turkmenistan-Iran-Turkey-Europe” transportation corridor. Among the three essential factors such as supply base, transport corridor and terminal market in the transportation chain, only multiple choices of transportation corridors can prevent the other two main factors from the interference of geopolitics and geoeconomics based on monopoly factors, thereby effectively ensuring China’s logistics safety and
the long-term operation between the European and Asian continents.
Key words: transport corridor; land bridge; geopolitics; Sino-Russian relations; Central Asian nations
