Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Is China trying to muscle its capabilities in mega projects ? .... Yahoo news: China to Build High-Speed Railway Line from Beijing to US? China is considering building a 13,000km high-speed railway line that would run from Beijing to east coast US, according to official Chinese media. The line, creatively dubbed the China-Russia-Canada-America line, would begin in Beijing, travel north through Siberia, and under the Bering Strait to Alaska before heading south through Canada to reach its final - unspecified - destination in the United States, said the Beijing Times. The journey would take two days to complete if the train maintains its proposed average speed of 350km/h. Although talks are said to be in progress, it is not clear how the countries en route feel. Wang Meng-shu, a railway expert with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said there had been positive feedback. "We're already in discussions. Russia has already been thinking about this for many years," he said. According to China Daily, work has begun with the tunnel technology "already in place". The technology is already being used to build a high-speed railway between Fujian, on China's southeast coast, and Taiwan. The line would be 3,000km longer than the current largest railway line, the Trans-Siberian Railway, and 200km would be beneath the water in the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska – four times longer than the submerged section of the Eurotunnel. "The project will be funded and constructed by China," the report added. "The details of this project are yet to be finalised." The Beijing Times has said the China-US line is just one of four proposals for huge cross-border railway projects. One is a line from the southwest city of Kunming to Singapore, another runs from China's Urumqi Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Turkey to Germany.

Albeniz Turbocharged May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 - "The project will be funded and constructed by China," the report added. "The details of this project are yet to be finalised." Linking a rail from China to US is probably an unilateral wish (一厢情愿) from China. That's why "the project will be funded and constructed by China".

Super7 Turbocharged May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Imagine, China trying to sent our their nitizen to all over the world ..... When China comes to war with any countries, they fight from inside out ... China has many ways to be one-up on its enemies. Huawei is actually backed by PLA and the company is really chionging to get business and leave its foot prints all over the world ahead of other countries' companies. And who knows what kind of 'spying programmes' they have hidden in the equipment they are supplying to many countries all over the world? That's why CIA etc have been trying to penetrate Huawei's system to see if the extents of such 'soft' spying, or even 'taking over control' of sensitive equipments Huawei supplies to the US and other allies kena the 'hidden' poisons so far.
