#Poland refuses to reopen its border with Belarus, cutting #China off from a €25B/year trade artery, after it was closed indefinitely following #Russia drone incursion into Polish airspace on 10 September.
Some 90% of China-EU rail freight moves through Poland, now frozen amid Zapad-2025 drills and a Russian drone incursion. Yestrday Beijing asked Warsaw to restore the route (vital for platforms like Temu & Shein) but after 3 hours of talks, FM Sikorski said no.

China is the primary supplier of military drone parts into Russia.
