由于运输效率下降，长江航运陷入停滞

China’s Yangtze River shipping is gridlocked as transport efficiency sinks运输效率下降，长江航运陷入瘫痪

China’s Yangtze River, the longest waterway in Asia – and one of the busiest – has long suffered from choke points that hinder transport efficiency, and now calls are growing for major improvements to the artery to help boost the local economies that it connects.中国的长江是亚洲最长的水道，也是最繁忙的水道之一，长期以来一直受到阻碍运输效率的阻塞点的影响，现在要求对这条大动脉进行重大改进以帮助促进其所连接的当地经济的呼声越来越高。

Shipping industry professionals, experts and local officials from four provinces and a municipality along the river – Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Shaanxi – gathered in Chongqing earlier this month to discuss “high-quality” shipping development in the upper Yangtze region.本月初，来自重庆、四川、贵州、云南、陕西四省一市的航运界专业人士、专家和地方官员齐聚重庆，共商长江上游地区航运“高质量”发展。
