How much is the freight between China and Europe higher than that by sea?

The freight is 700 to 1000 USD higher than that by sea.

Specifically, the transportation cost of a ton of goods transported by China-Europe train is about 1 1,000 to 1 1,500 US dollars, while the transportation cost of a ton of goods transported by sea is only 300 to 500 US dollars, so the transportation cost of China-Europe train is 700 to 1 1,000 US dollars higher than that by sea.

But the time advantage of China and Europe is very obvious. /kloc-it can reach Europe in 0/4 days, and it takes 30-40 days by sea. In addition, the price of China-Europe trains is about one-fifth of that of air transportation. As the China-Europe train is a project supported by the government of China, it is currently subsidized by the government, so the freight rate of China-Europe train may be higher than that of fully market-oriented sea transportation.
