Belt and Road Initiative brings more imports to small commodity hub

HANGZHOU－In one section of the massive Yiwu International Trade Market in East China's Zhejiang province, there is a large variety of imported goods, from Spanish wine to Czech crystal glasses and Russian milk.

"Ninety percent of our goods are imported through the China-Europe freight train service," said Zhang Ruizhi, manager of the exhibition hall of Zhejiang Mundiver Import and Export Co Ltd at the market.

Many imported commodities such as wine and sunflower seed oil are very popular among Chinese consumers who are upgrading consumption, said Zhang.
