China Mulls Building High Speed Line to the United States

China now owns so much of the United States that they are considering building a high speed rail from China to the US to be able to check on their investment.

Yes, you heard correctly. The United States cannot build a high speed rail across its own country, TN cannot build a high speed rail from Knoxville to Chattanooga, yet China is considering crossing multiple continents and countries with a high speed rail. Once that is complete, a short leap across the Middle East to the Chunnel and we will be able to travel the world by train! How’s that for an Oriental Express Agatha!

The proposed journey will start from China’s northeast region, cross Siberia to Bering Strait, and run across the Pacific Ocean by undersea tunnel to reach Alaska, from Alaska to Canada, then on to its final destination, the US. To cross Bering Strait will require approximately 200km undersea tunnel, the technology, which is already in place will also be used on Fujian to Taiwan high-speed railway tunnel. The project will be funded and constructed by China. … With average speed of 350km per hour, passengers will complete the 1,3000km journey and reach the US in less than two days.
