China to launch major waterway route

Pingluo Canal will be launched on September 16, 2026, in the Guangxi region of southern China. It is the first large-scale national-level canal project since 1949 to connect the Xijiang River to the sea. The canal stretches 134.2 kilometers, linking the river to Beibu Gulf, and can accommodate ships with a cargo capacity of up to 5,000 tons. The project aims to shorten the shipping distance between inland areas in southwestern China and ASEAN countries by 560 kilometers, reduce logistics costs by 18 to 30 percent, boost trade, and reshape the economic geography between China and ASEAN, with a significant growth in bilateral trade volume.
