A CARGO SHIP last night set sail from the massive Ningbo-Zhoushan port in China to go “over the top of the world” to the port of Felixstowe in the United Kingdom.

Most of the 18-day journey will go along Russia’s freezing northern coast—and the ship will be accompanied by icebreakers in case of blockages.

The journey has been enabled by Chinese and Russian scientists, who spent recent years checking the level of ice to see if a new east-west trading route is possible.

The new route will be only about 14,000 km, compared to nearly 21,000 km through the traditional Suez Canel route. This will enrich trade between east and west.

But the Chinese-Russian research on this has worried Washington DC. Even though the trade route basically covers Eurasia, the US prefers to have global control over trade.

The project appears to have triggered U.S. President Donald Trump’s sudden insistence on taking over Greenland, which is adjacent to the new route. The US has also said it wants control over the Panama Canal, another key east-west choke point.

🚆 After more than four months and 16,000 miles, the first cargo train on the world’s longest rail route has returned to China.

Starting in Yiwu, it crossed Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, France, and ended in Madrid — carrying Chinese goods out and returning with Spanish wine, olive oil, and ham.

Dubbed a modern “Silk Road,” this route is set to boost trade between China and Europe, offering a faster, greener alternative to shipping. 🌍

ЕКОЛОШКА СУГЕСТИЈА-ПРЕДЛОГ!!!

Бидејќи живееме каде што живееме, единствено редовно собирање и рециклирање на пластичен отпад е она на Пластичните Шишиња од страна на некои малцинства, па еве еден предлог како (барем делумно) да придонесеме за рециклирање на Најлон-Ќеси и слични Амбалажи ---> со гужвање и пикање на истите во Пластичните Шишиња, што ќе ви одземе многу малку време:
