"Poland refuses to reopen its border with Belarus, cutting China off from a €25B/year trade artery. Some 90% of China-EU rail freight moves through Poland, now frozen amid Zapad-2025 drills and a Russian drone incursion. Beijing asked Warsaw to restore the route (vital for platforms like Temu & Shein) but after 3 hours of talks, FM Sikorski said no. With sea routes slower and air transport up to 30% more expensive, Europe’s e-commerce supply chains risk serious disruption."
