@china360_: China has finished the main channel excavation of the Pinglu Canal, the country's first river-to-sea canal. Stretching over 134 kilometers, this massive project will allow 5,000-tonne ships to cruise from inland in southwestern China straight to the sea. It's scheduled to open in September, and will become the shortest and most cost-effective water transport route between southwestern China and ASEAN markets. #LatestNews #canal #chinainfrastructure #chinaeconomy #ChinaASEAN
