STORYLINE:
 
Liuzhou of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has seen a surge in the exports of auto parts in the first half of this year thanks to the continuous development of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor.
 
Launched in 2017, the new corridor is a trade and logistics passage jointly built by provincial-level regions in western China and ASEAN members. The rail-sea intermodal service has expanded to cover 61 cities in 17 provincial-level areas in China.
 
From January to June, Liuzhou sent 4,106 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) of export auto parts through the corridor, an increase of 40.04 percent from the same period last year.
 
The rail-sea intermodal service has helped the city expand its market to over 40 countries and regions in Southeast Asia, Central and South America and the Middle East.
