La Chine pourrait adhérer à la Convention TIR dans cinq ans La République populaire de Chine envisage très sérieusement d’adhérer à la Convention TIR. Elle pourrait même le faire dans un délai relativement court de cinq ans, nous a déclaré un haut responsable du ministère chinois des Transports en marge du Congrès mondial de l’IRU à Bucarest. Théoriquement, il sera alors possible d’effectuer des transports depuis l’Europe jusque vers des villes en Chine. Mais c’est pour les transports intra-asiatiques (et plus particulièrement de et vers l’Asie du Sud-Est) que cette évolution devrait être la plus marquante. Aujourd’hui, aucun véhicule étranger ne peut pénétrer en Chine, les marchandises devant être déchargées à la frontière et transbordées à bord de camions chinois.
