The longest railway in the world is now open. In December, a train carrying products from China arrived in Spain's capital, Madrid. Some call the railway the "21st Century Silk Road." China is paying to improve roads, bridges and railroads in Europe to increase business between East Asia and Europe. The European Union is China's biggest business partner, and Europe is welcoming the money China is spending in their countries.

The train carried 40 containers and traveled 13,000 kilometers. It began in Yiwu, a Chinese city in the province of Zhejiang, in November. It arrived in Madrid three weeks later. A ship would take about six weeks to make the same trip. The train is to return to China with Spanish wine and food before the beginning of the Chinese New Year in February.

China is spending a lot of money to improve bridges and roads in Europe. It recently paid $167 million to build a bridge over the Danube River in Serbia. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang went to the opening celebration. He says the bridge is a sign of friendship between China and Serbia. He adds that there will be more such projects with Serbia, including new bridges and new paths to the future.
