Abstract: 
This study applies a system thinking view to argue that transportation infrastructure is a strong driving forces for the dynamic evolution process of the GLN. Especially in context of the BRI, with its large scale and broad scope transportation infrastructure construction and upgrade, the spatial structure of GLN is rapidly altering due to the changing competitiveness of some logistics nodes and links. These changes can further induces a sequence of dynamic process, such as development of local logistics industries, MNEs’ relocation behaviors, industrialization of local regions, etc, hence substantially shift the pattern of the GLN on a long-term view. Case studies of Piraeus port and Gwadar port were conducted to validate the impacts of ports infrastructure improvements on global shipping network and its potential for regional economic growth. Apart from sea port, a
very important aspect is the improvements of land connectivity and the construction
of dry ports. With the operation of CR Express, China and Europe are connected
passing through the vast territory of landlocked countries in between. Through investigating the case of Khorgos dry port city, the study also presents the pattern shift
induced the large potential of land logistics nodes.
