The article discusses the development and modernization of the Khorgas port in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. The port has seen an increase in exports of Chinese cars to Central Asian countries, with new-energy vehicles being particularly popular. The port has also become an important hub for trade between China and Europe, with an increasing number of China-Europe freight trains passing through.
