The Diplomat: China’s BRI and its High-Speed Railways to Nowhere

Thu November, 2020, Age: 2 years

Although the BRI has been difficult to define, there is merit to the strategic logic of underwriting infrastructure development projects in fast-growing or geographically important countries. But sometimes geostrategic goals can outpace practical considerations. Although a good idea in theory, many of China’s high-speed railway projects across Southeast Asia have become expensive boondoggles.
