China’s infrastructure has broken through the cognition of the people of the world time and time again. Many projects that were impossible to be completed by foreign countries were finally completed by China. In recent years, "Made in China" has gradually gained a global reputation. China's infrastructure is rapidly going abroad. With the development of various projects with neighboring countries, China is allowing more countries to experience the convenience of high-speed rail. As the country with the longest high-speed rail operating mileage in the world, China has the most say in high-speed rail projects. The mileage of 10,000 kilometers is unimaginable in many countries. China is not only keen on building high-speed rail in its own country, it is also trying to radiate high-speed rail to neighboring countries, making China closer to its neighbors.

There are many rumors about China's construction of a transnational high-speed rail. There are reports that China is preparing to build a transnational high-speed rail linking Thailand, Laos and its own country. There is also news that China will build a high-speed rail linking Moscow and Beijing. As China's influence in Asia continues to increase and its overall national strength is rapidly increasing, the rumor that China is building a transnational high-speed rail has received the support of most people. There is even a view that with China’s strength, even if it is not built now, many high-speed rails will be built in the future to connect countries, because China understands the importance of convenient transportation to economic development.

As early as 2017, Mishalin, first vice president of Russian Railways, already stated that Russia's first high-speed rail project will be made in China and will be officially launched in 2018. When China and Russia signed a memorandum of cooperation on the development of high-speed rail, both parties intend to continue to develop the project and eventually extend the high-speed rail line to Beijing. That is to say, the high-speed rail will pass through Russia, Kazakhstan and China. National railway. Since the exposure of the China-Russia high-speed rail project, it has aroused heated discussions among many people. Some people believe that this is a symbol of Sino-Russian friendship and it can also make the communication between the people of the two countries more convenient. It is reported that the high-speed railway will be 7,000 kilometers long, with a total investment of more than 1 trillion yuan. After the completion of the construction, the time from Moscow to Beijing will be reduced by half. This high-speed rail project is a very "weighty" cooperation project for China and Russia. If it succeeds, it will once again create a feat, and it will also be an unprecedented and large-scale "giant system" in the history of global economic and trade cooperation.

As the United States recklessly exercises its hegemony in the world and continues to wield the big stick of sanctions against other countries, the relationship between China and Russia has become closer in recent years, and the cooperation between the two sides has also deepened. The history of the development of China's high-speed rail is also like that of Sino-Russian relations. Although there have been twists and turns in the middle, the good news has always come inadvertently, and even makes people overwhelmed. China and Russia are complementary in many aspects. It is pointed out that strengthening cooperation between the two sides is a win-win situation, limited by transportation, and there is still a certain distance between the exchanges between the two sides. Once the construction of the high-speed rail linking China and Russia is completed, the communication distance between Moscow and Beijing will be greatly shortened, and personnel exchanges between the two countries will be more convenient.

It is estimated that after the opening of the high-speed rail, the journey time between the capitals of China and Russia will be shortened from the previous 5 days or so to 30 hours. Some experts pointed out that Russia, as a country across the Eurasian continent, connects Russia by high-speed rail, which can be said to be a very significant thing. This will give the inland a development prospect that is not inferior to that of the coastal areas, and can also catch up with it. The express train of globalization. For Russia, it is also a great opportunity for development, because Russia's domestic railway construction is relatively backward. If you want to catch the rapid rise of Asia, you must reform the railway situation in the Far East. However, due to the influence of funds, technology and construction experience, Russia wants to build a railway transportation network on its own, and China can help it solve these problems. Therefore, once the Moscow-Beijing high-speed rail is completed, it will bring huge benefits to the two countries. Space for economic development.

In recent years, the United States has recklessly exercised hegemony. In this context, Sino-Russian cooperation has become increasingly close. Some analysts believe that once the Sino-Russian high-speed rail project is successfully completed, it will be a feat for both countries, regardless of strategic significance or economic benefit. , Both sides will benefit a lot. But at the same time, the resources required to build the project are also huge, which is beyond the reach of ordinary countries. Therefore, the development of the project will once again show China's style of a big country. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
