Conclusion: Comparative Analysis of China-Europe Railway Express
摘要
The comparative analysis of the five cases in this book reveals both common characteristics and differences in the development of China-Europe Railway Express (CRE) in various regions. The enthusiasm of local governments in advancing CRE transcends mere political considerations linked to central directives and individual career advancements. The government support for the CRE also emphasizes market development. Differences in the operation of the CRE across these five cities primarily stem from two factors: the openness of the logistics platform supporting rail services and the ownership structure of the operating companies, whether state-owned or private enterprises.
