Abstract:In recent years, east Asian and southeast Asian countries export more and more cargoes to Europe in the method of transit transport, and the transport quantity passing through Kazakhstan to Europe has surpassed the sum total of that passing through Russia East Siberia and that passing through the Far East to Europe. Currently, China is vigorously carrying forward the proposal of “Silk Road Economic Belt”, seeking for the diversification in transport paths to Europe. Seeing from the current stage, the transportation corridors through the east area of Russia and Kazakhstan temporarily do not form competition directly, because the service targets are different and the volumes of cargos transported of the two transportation corridors are insignificant compared to the maritime transportation. As China is the major country of dispatch in the transit transport from Asia to Europe, in the framework of Silk Road Economic Belt, the central Asian countries and western provinces in the west of China will first benefit from the cross-continent transit transport, while the east area of Russia and the Northeast China will both be neglected. The latter areas should aim to achieve the modernization of transportation system, create brand new transportation system and perfect the existing management model.
