Poland Blocks China-Belarus Rail Traffic (China cries)



Poland has refused to lift its border lockdown on rail traffic from Belarus, despite high-level talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
This decision leaves hundreds of freight trains stranded at the border, disrupting supply chains worth billions of dollars. Electronics, machinery, batteries, and perishable goods like fish and pharmaceuticals are stuck on the Belarusian side, threatening Europe’s trade routes.
In this video, we break down:
Why Poland shut down the border with Belarus
The failed talks between Wang Yi and Polish President Karol Nawrocki
The impact on China’s Belt and Road investments in Belarus
Security threats from Belarus and Russia that shaped Poland’s decision
How the standoff could reshape EU–China trade and global supply chains

Poland’s message is clear: security comes first, even at an economic cost.

Xi Jinping should go cry to his buddies in the Kremlin. They started this shit show of a war, they need to withdraw their troops from all of Ukraine.

Kudos to Poland for standing strong!! Between Ukrainian drone hits on Russian energy processing facilities and now Poland log jamming trains, the evil axis is feeling the pain.
