Speedy ambition

A great example of ambition from Chinese railways as shown in an article on the American ABC news website:

“China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually potentially connecting London with Beijing and then on to Singapore.”

Evidently at its maximum speed of 344 km (215 miles) per hour the train could get from Beijing to London in two days.
