World's First Sanitary Rail Hub Boosts Cross-Border Confidence
Mohan Railway Port, a key stop on the China-Laos Railway, just became the 🌍 first-ever WHO-certified international sanitary ground crossing, raising the bar for health security in global travel and trade. The designation, announced Tuesday after a WHO expert review, highlights its readiness to tackle pandemics and protect travelers.
Since opening in 2021, this 1,035-km 'steel silk road' has transformed regional connectivity:
- 🔥 43M+ passenger trips and 48.3M tonnes of cargo moved as of Monday
- 📦 Goods variety exploded from 500 to 3,000 types – think electronics, veggies, and solar panels!
Health experts say the WHO stamp acts like a 'gold standard' badge, ensuring swift responses to outbreaks without disrupting trade flows. For young entrepreneurs eyeing Southeast Asian markets, this means smoother cross-border biz with fewer health-related delays. 🛃💼
