when did china get to the moon?

but there has been a railroad from Asia to Europe for over 100 years? It's even in your picture

The Chinese wealthy are obsessed with European culture, food and luxury goods. This will be good for Europe as those trains will leave the continant full of european goods.

more like Europe will get flooded with even cheaper labor as poor people will see the train to Europe as a gateway to heaven, jsut like people used to migrate within EU or to America to pursue their dreams.

By cutting off trade with trade partners and diverting most of our government spending from advancement of research technologies directly to tax cuts for the rich. Then, those rich use that money to influence the government, allowing them to own and profit from businesses in China without the US ever seeing a dime. All the while, blame the blacks for the failing economy.

OBOR isn't actually economically viable, it's just a giveaway to Chinese companies and a way for China to project its power over everybody else. They'll finish this right when the Arctic melts and shipping can pass through the North Pole.

>flooded with even cheaper
How come that's a bad thing you peasant? Capitalism loves that so much isn't it?

i blame blacks and retarded fucking liberals who screech at trump and drink 7 dollar starbucks mochas.

Mongolia BTFO

Poortugal, UK BTFO

Vladivostok-Seattle trans-Bering superhighway when?

when has going to the moon meant anything lately.

>How is the West suppose to compete with China now?
By building good quality stuff? Where's the problem?

That anons arrive on Sup Forums and proudly exhibit their total ignorance never ceases to astonish me _ I feel embarrassed on your behalf! user.
Why the *fuck* do you think the US is putting more troops back into Afghanistan ?
Why do you think the US is stirring up ethnic tensions in Myanmar and Balochristan ?
In Kashmir ?
Attempting to befriend India ?
Wants to start a war with Iran (Persia ) and North Korea?
Do you really have zero geopolitical awareness ?

When ?
It's happening right now.
Every day.
X Jinping gave a 3.5 hour talk outlining China's vision to 2100 just last week..
I think the US was obsessed about who was kneeling at football games...

I think they would die in the Gobi desert

The problem is the russian broad gauge. Europe and China both use standard gauge. This means you have to reload shit twice.
There have been some ideas of building a railroad over Afghanistan as Iran and Turkey use standard gauge. This lets the chinks load containers onto railcars in Guangzhou and unload them in London.

The whole rohinya thing is really sad

Is becoming increasingly obvious that the us created the problem to use it as a leverage against myanmar and then restired it to derail chinese proyects un the área
they never expdcted that myanmar would actually cleanase them, and then trying to regain leverage would end up giving Myanmar to china

Solving those rail gauge problems:
combined-transport.eu/cargo-beamer

Door-to-door shipments via ocean vessels take up to 45 days from China to Europe, including last-mile operations and terminal handling. Container trains already shorten the time by 60% and achieve a door-to-door delivery in 18 days.
Due to time savings of terminal and rail gauge switching as well as the reduction in last-mile operation and robot loading of CBoXX, CargoBeamer forecasts to reduce the transfer time to 12 days.
After completion of upgrades to the railway network in Russia and Kazakhstan – which are currently ongoing – CargoBeamer envisions a train to run at 70 km/h and achieve the door-to-door transport from China to Europe within eight days – nothing short of revolutionary and a real threat to sea and air freight.

There's a dry port in Kazakhstan where these two gauges meet each other. It was built in the middle of the desert and now houses some 10000 people.
It's near the Chinese border iirc.
Not even China is mad enough to build critical infrastructure through Afghanistan. This country will always be the graveyard of empires. Well, until someone decides to genocide the goatfuckers and take it for themselves.

Ships exist

6 weeks vs 20 days

maybe pakistan could pull something

but as long as the us stays there it's not going to happen

the irony is that they can't even profit as your image shows; and the afgan army is a constaint drain of resources

trully the graveyard of empires

The current shitfest your automobile gets over lying about the specs and stories about their crap maintenance is not helping at all.

Which is why the US and Australia LARP playing war "games" to choke the Straits of Malacca...
And why the US insists on "Freedom of Navigation" in South China Sea.
They've pissed China off so - it's going over land.

20 days to then be 8 days

Rail is much faster though.

btw it's called khorgos and now has 90000 habitants

FUCK CHINKS AND FUCK PIDORUSSIA

WE GOING TO BLOW UP THIS SHIT

Don't be mad that my government abandoned you since they have no more purpose for you after you done what they wanted by destroying your own democratic constitution.

Retard.

how exactly are you going to do it cuck?

mad that you are in a limbo and are not going to join nor nato nor eu anytime soon?

china also has african colonies and has been raping the african resource reserves for years now..
jesus fucking christ, what else do you need spoonfed to you

Ukraine and its extortion of transit fees was a catalyst for Russia looking for other partners..
And Silk Road 2.0 will avoid Ukraine.. Early sketches had it transiting through, but that will never happen now.

OBOR: It's all just talk and grandiose plans, right?

April 2017: gwadarnews.com/2017/04/06/60-percent-construction-work-of-gwadar-free-zone-completed/

60 PERCENT construction work of GWADAR FREE ZONE completed.

The free zone is spread over 923 hectares of land and will be developed in four phases.

The Zone has specially been designed to take advantage of Balochistan’s rich fishery and mineral resources by developing relevant industries for overseas market and light industry for domestic consumption.

Chinese and Pakistani engineers are working round the clock to open the free zone for operation as early as possible....

......the free zone is a key step towards developing Gwadar Port into an important regional hub that will benefit not only south Asia, but also Central Asian and Middle East countries.

The Pakistan port will be used to link maritime to Africa

Gwadar is set to become the most import port in the india sea

Indias chabahar port can only dream to compite

Xi, the one belt one road system has been in progress for years and has been blocked by my many developed nations because it's fucking China who's building the rail, they have petrol and gas explosions regularly. The only people who are letting it be built are poverty states and Africans. Riots in Kenya have already happened as they're only employing Chinese people in the construction.

China keeps reaching put to India,
But India is being cucked by the US.. Which is using historic tensions to create conflict.... As per its usual playbook.

Chk^
First phase of Russia’s HSR network is on track

The Moscow-Kazan high-speed railway project is considered the first step towards the high-speed railway network in Russia, which will connect both to the Asian side and to the European side.

Authorities expect trains to be delivered in 2019.

Measuring 790 km in length, the high-speed rail will link Moscow to Kazan, allowing trains to run at speeds of up to 400 km/h.

The line will serve 16 stations and it will span across 7 regions of Russia, providing efficient rail connections between major cities such as Moscow, Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and more.

The Moscow-Kazan line is the first phase in the development of a high-speed railway network in Russia which in its second phase will be extended to Yekaterinburg.

Also, a high-speed rail line will connect Yekaterinburg to Chelyabinsk, allowing trains to travel at speeds of over 250 km/h.

The planned high-speed network includes projects in areas with over 100 million inhabitants which account for 70% of Russia’s population.

..The Moscow-Vladimir approved stretch is expected to offer an estimated journey time of 56 minutes with 50 pairs of trains every day carrying 20 million passengers by 2035.

Regarding the rolling stock, RZD, China Railway, Sinara and CRRC agreed in June 2016 to create a joint production of high-speed trains in Russia.

The Moscow–Kazan line will shortened travel time by 11 hours to 3 hours and 17 minutes.

It will not only provide national rail connections, but will also impact high-speed connections in Asia and Europe.
Considered a Eurasian high-speed railway corridor, it will secure connections along the Beijing-Kazakhstan-Russia-Moscow-Minsk axis, and further to Western Europe, specifically Berlin, Germany.
According to the Transport Minister, Maksim Sokolov, the length of this corridor is 10,000 km.
