New BRI ocean cargo route rides wave of success

More goods are being transported to Europe, thanks to the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and dedicated rail networks. Jiang Chenglong reports from Valencia, Spain.

In early September, Pedro Pastor Martinez and his wife were selecting toys and baseball caps for their young grandson at a large department store. They looked the caps over and occasionally tried them on as Chinese pop songs played in the background.

The store in Valencia, Spain's third-largest city, is called Hiper Number One, and the manager and sales assistants are all Chinese. "We love the goods here because the prices are low but the quality is high," Martinez said.
