Poland's border closure triggers a chain reaction, Central Europe rail routes are interrupted, and factories in the US and Europe face shutdowns.

Poland closes its eastern border, while the US and Europe become the biggest victims, the China-Europe railway is interrupted, and some factories in Western countries are forced to stop production.

Due to the drone incident escalating, Poland announced the closure of its eastern border. It seems like this is a matter of Poland itself, but the result is that the US and Europe become the biggest victims. After Poland closed the border, the China-Europe railway was interrupted, and more than 300 freight trains fully loaded with urgently needed parts for US and European factories were stranded at the Polish border. These key components are essential for the operation of US and European factories. If these components cannot arrive on time, the corresponding factories can only be shut down. For the US and Europe, this is indeed an unexpected event, and the losses are huge.

The interruption of the China-Europe railway means that the corresponding transportation has to choose alternative routes, which will greatly increase costs. This will further weaken the competitiveness of US and European products, causing further damage to already weakly competitive US and European products, even leading to a catastrophic situation. This incident illustrates one thing: the world today is interrelated and not isolated. The United States, in order to protect its own products, has adopted an isolationist policy, prohibiting foreign advanced products from being sold in the US. This may seem to protect American industries, but it actually further weakens the competitiveness of American products.

Western countries such as the US and Europe ignited the Ukraine-Russia conflict, attempting to weaken Russia through the conflict, but in the end, the most severely weakened was Europe. NATO tried to create a tense situation at the Polish border, which led to the interruption of the China-Europe railway, and the losses were mostly borne by the US and Europe. An interconnected world requires cooperation among countries rather than deliberately sabotaging each other. Facts have shown that sabotaging others often causes serious harm to oneself as well.
