China Throws Its Weight Around Russia's Backyard
Following over two decades of negotiations, the Parliament of Kyrgyzstan ratified a trilateral agreement with China and Uzbekistan on the joint construction of the CKU railway, Russian language media outlet BigAsia.Ru reported on Wednesday. The deal was signed between the countries on June 6, and construction is expected to start in October.
The 324-mile railway connecting the three countries will cost around $8 billion and is part of China's global infrastructure development strategy the Belt and Road Initiative.
The railway is expected to cut the route from China to Europe by 560 miles, shortening transit times for freight by an estimated eight days, and significantly, avoiding Russia and its Trans-Siberian Railway, the International Railway Journal (ICJ) reported
减少近1000公里，8天路程，还不受俄罗斯制约。
全世界忙着打战卖武器，土鳖忙着修路做贸易。
