中国拒绝了英国630.1亿美元的402公里/小时高铁项目

The UK is the first country in the world to invent and use the subway. But now, tourists in China have been able to travel on the subway at a speed of 160 kilometers per hour. Driven by a sense of crisis, Britain realized that its old railway facilities could no longer meet the commuting needs of locals.They began planning to upgrade and improve the rail network.But do you believe China will give up on Britain’s $63.1 billion rail upgrade project?

英国是世界上第一个发明和使用地铁的国家。但是如今，在中国，游客已经可以以每小时160公里的速度乘坐地铁了。在危机感的驱使下，英国意识到其陈旧的铁路设施已无法满足当地居民的通勤需求。他们开始计划升级和改进铁路网络。但是，您相信中国会放弃英国的630.1亿美元铁路升级项目吗？

@BWong1234

You failed to mention another reason why China turned down the project. The British has learned or blindly orientated to breaking agreement taught by the US.

您没有提到中国拒绝该项目的另一个原因。英国已经学到或者盲目效仿了美国打破协议的做法。

@acchan53

It is too risky to take up mega projects in UK because they can cancel the projects anytime due to political reasons.

在英国承担大型项目太冒险了，因为他们可以随时因为政治原因取消项目。

@sweechen9762

The Chinese are pragmatic business people. They will do business with almost anyone. Except those they don't trust.

中国人是务实的商人。他们几乎会与任何人做生意，除非他们不信任对方。

@tanisharbaap

As a Bangladeshi we are forever indebted to China for constructing the Padma Bridge. It was done for less than $4B, but it already is contributing more than $6B towards Bangladesh' GDP per year. It is a dream come true for millions of people of southern Bangladesh. No debt trap, no strings attached. And no other countries wanted to do this project since it was such a difficult and complex project.

作为孟加拉国人，我们永远感激中国为我们修建的波德马大桥。这项工程不到40亿美元，但它每年已经为孟加拉国的国内生产总值做出了超过60亿美元的贡献。对孟加拉国南部数百万人来说，这犹如一场梦。没有债务陷阱，没有附加条件。由于这是一个如此困难和复杂的项目，没有其他国家愿意承担这个项目。

@user-yc5px4yu4r

The British had set too many unfriendly expectations and conditions for the Chinese HS railiway companies, even before final agreement.Those were clear signs of trouble which can be avoided by rejecting it.

在最终达成协议之前，英国对中国高铁公司设定了太多不友好的期望和条件。这些都是可以通过拒绝来避免的麻烦。

@mijmijrm

a large scale project requires a solid foundation .. ie. integrity in it's political/economic/financial environment.  This is where UK fails.  Any UK attempt at a large scale engineering project is doomed to fail because of political/economic/financial incompetence/shenanigans.

一个大型项目需要坚实的基础，即在其政治/经济/金融环境中的诚实。这正是英国失败的地方。由于政治/经济/金融的无能/花招，任何英国尝试进行的大规模工程项目都注定要失败。

@nageshmr5209

China has the greatest high speed railway network in the world

中国拥有世界上最大规模的高铁网络。

@Jodoe243

Knowing how UK operates, it is a sound idea to reject any projects with UK.
UK can ask Japan, India or America for help.

了解英国的运作方式，拒绝与英国合作是个明智的决定。英国可以向日本、印度或美国寻求帮助。

@davidwoon6402

Sunak thought the offer is too tempting for China to refuse. Yet.., China is wise enough not to take the bait. The whole project looks "fishy"!

Sunak（英国财政大臣）认为这个提议对中国来说太诱人而拒绝不了。然而... 中国足够聪明，不会上当。整个项目看起来有些可疑！

@theoracle9873

That is the way to go China! Cheers from ASEAN!

这就是前进的方式，中国加油！来自东盟的祝福！

@tanisharbaap

It is not wise to bypass China for partnership in infrastructure projects. Ask Indonesia vs. India for their HS railway projects. By the time India develops the first 100 miles of its Bombay-Ahmedabad project, Indonesia will likely complete its HS line all the way to Surabaya from Jakarta - 500 miles or so.

在基础设施项目的合作伙伴选择上绕过中国并不明智。询问印尼和印度关于他们的高铁项目吧。到印度完成孟买-艾哈迈达巴德项目的第一百英里的时候，印尼可能已经完成了从雅加达到泗水的高铁线路——大约500英里。

@richardlee3502

And who could blame them for rejecting Britain when it does nothing but disparage China

谁会责怪他们拒绝英国，当英国除了贬低中国什么都没做。

@Chinook-tj9bv

Let the Brits build their own high speed rail project. It will cost more (due to project cost overruns) and be behind schedule... a huge win for UK!

让英国自己建设他们的高铁项目吧。这将会更昂贵（由于项目超支）并且进度会滞后...这对英国来说是个巨大的胜利！

@KingKongWorld

Nice move.
I am delighted that Chinese people didn't get this contract. The fact is that they rejected the UK project.
China must focus in priority on helping poor countries.

They experienced with Italy, Lithuania and other countries in Europe.
And they were rolled in flour. China has learn their lesson well.
Never again to be bullied....

明智之举。我很高兴中国人没有得到这份合同。事实上，他们拒绝了英国的项目。中国必须优先关注帮助贫困国家。

他们在意大利、立陶宛和其他欧洲国家有了经验。他们吃过亏。中国吸取了教训。

@billyesomann

Too many political risks, The Nuclear power station in Wales and Huawei were good examples, both contracts proceeded and were cancelled. Let the old and hypercritical colonial power taste the bitter pill

政治风险太多，威尔士的核电站和华为都是很好的例子，两个合同都启动了又被取消了。让这个老旧且批判过度的殖民大国尝尝苦果吧。

@Alwayswilling

I'm assuming China knows how badly Britain's  economy is doing and isn't going to risk having London refuse to pay for some pathetic reason.

我猜中国知道英国经济有多么糟糕，不会冒险让伦敦以一些可笑的理由拒付款。

@KC_88631

The Chinese rejected the project as they knew that halfway through the UK will eventually sanction the Chinese under the disguise of national security

中国拒绝了这个项目，因为他们知道在英国中途，最终会以国家安全的名义对中国实施制裁

@thinkandsoar

Not only is it non-profitable for the Chinese (or anyone) to build such infrastructure in the UK, China cannot ignore the political risk that any newly elected government of the UK could revisit and reverse a decision made by the previous administration. A nation that can change its commitment on a whim is not fit to be an economic partner. Just look at the nuclear plant project, the globlal strategic partnership between the UK and China (the so-called "golden era" laughably lasted only 2-3 years, and was terminated no less by the SAME political party in power) , or more importantly, the Brexit.

It takes years or decades of cooperation between a developing country and China before China would agree to transfer core technology to its partner. The UK could switch its decision many times already in that time span. China is wise to stay away.

对中国（或任何人）在英国建设这样的基础设施来说，不仅没有盈利可言，而且中国不能忽视的政治风险是，英国的新政府可能会重新审视和扭转前一届政府的决定。一个可以随意改变承诺的国家不适合成为经济伙伴。只需看看核电站项目，英中的全球战略伙伴关系（所谓的“黄金时代”仅可笑地持续了2-3年，并且是由同一执政政党终止的），或者更重要的是脱欧。

在中国同发展中国家合作了数年甚至几十年后，中国才会同意向合作伙伴转让核心技术。在那个时期，英国已经可以多次改变决定。中国明智地选择远离。

@karchi12

Owing to the uncertainty  and unreliability of the British government’s policy towards China now and the future ,the rejection of building fast railway plan in Britain, imposed by China is a thoughtful and wise action.

由于英国政府对中国现在和未来的政策存在不确定性和不可靠性，中国弃建英国快速铁路计划的决定是经过深思熟虑的明智之举。

@daffyduck4195

The Chinese were irritated by a few UK actions in the South China Seas that were forewarned to them, like signing a military troops pact with Japan, sending nuke subs to Australia, and sending a nuke carrier (the HMS Queen Elizabeth) to flex muscles off the coast of China in July of 2021.

中国对英国在南中国海的一些行动感到恼火，这些行动已经事先警告过他们，如与日本签署军事条约，向澳大利亚派遣核潜艇，以及在2021年7月将核航母（HMS Queen Elizabeth）派遣到中国沿海炫耀武力。

@allenyu771

The British government listened to the opinions of the United States and dismantled Huawei's communication equipment. Today, the UK is still using 3G networks. This is the tragedy of the Anglo-Saxon nation.

英国政府听取了美国的意见，拆除了华为的通信设备。如今，英国仍在使用3G网络。这是盎格鲁-撒克逊民族的悲剧。

@flyingnan2520

The long-term construction is always problematic in democratic countries. You never know whether the next ruling party will support or deny the agreement.

在民主国家，长期的建设总是存在问题。你永远不知道下一个执政党会支持还是否决协议。

@Cl0ckcl0ck

It's not a 'golden opportunity'. It's a trap.

这不是一个‘黄金机会’。这是一个陷阱。

@franktongzi1430

As a chinese who experienced many countries,I think the main reason is unstable promises from the local gov.It is 100% possibly stopped by one politician now or in the future.This is not a short-term project.

作为一个在多个国家有过经历的中国人，我认为主要原因是地方政府对承诺的不稳定。现在或将来，完全可能被一个政治家阻止。这不是一个短期项目。

@MnemonicCarrier

The probably realized the British wouldn't be able to pay for it

他们可能意识到英国支付不起这个项目

@markfan7648

there is no trust, and who wants to not be paid after project is done, or be criticized constantly even though you did no wrong.

没有信任，谁愿意在项目完成后得不到支付，甚至在你没有做错的情况下不断受到批评。

@conandrum7613

Just for reader's information: 

In 1963  the British Borneo colonies were transferred to the Federation of Malaya, renamed Malaysia. 

Amongst the string of promises made for the transfer was the federal project to build the Borneo trunk road of about 2000 km from Kuching Sarawak to Kota Kinabalu Sabah. This became the Pan Borneo Highway and has taken 57 years and they still have not finished the project. 

In the meantime, people running road construction companies became billionaires and millionaires because they got the contracts from their backers in power.

供读者参考：

1963年，英国婆罗洲殖民地被转交给马来亚联邦，更名为马来西亚。

在转交过程中做出的一系列承诺之一是联邦计划修建婆罗洲主干道，全长约2000公里，从砂拉越的古晋到沙巴的哥打基纳巴鲁。这就成了泛婆罗洲公路，已经过去了57年，他们仍然没有完成这个项目。

与此同时，运营道路建设公司的人因为从掌握权力的支持者那里获得了合同而成为亿万富翁和百万富翁。

@baskjhdgkasgd

During the Qing Dynasty in China, the ministers in the palace said to the Empress Dowager Cixi: "Foreigners (or British) have come to help us build the railway." It is a pity that Queen Elizabeth is no longer here, otherwise Charles said to her: "The Chinese have come to help us build the railway. Yeah." What an interesting scene that would be.

在中国清朝时期，宫廷的大臣对慈禧太后说：“外国人（或英国人）来帮我们修建铁路。”可惜伊丽莎白女王已经不在了，否则查尔斯会对她说：“中国人来帮我们修铁路。是的。”那将是多么有趣的一幕。

@fasteddie328

A likely scenario could be: China builds the HS railway, UK accuses China steal their technologies and refuses to pay.   Hahah, no way ! Glad China didn't fall for it..

可能的情景是：中国建造高铁，英国指责中国窃取他们的技术并拒绝支付。哈哈，不可能！很高兴中国没有上当。

@peace521

UK is not qualified for asking help from anyone.

英国没有资格向任何人寻求帮助。

@BudyL135

From Indonesia. Many US power and media in Indonesia also making bad statement about China Indonesia HSR. And sadly many people here have taken influence of western. But I am glad the HSR is finish and it help a lot of us to transport from our capital Jakarta to one of Indonesia large city Bandung. We also support the continue project toward another large city Jakarta Bandung and Surabaya. Happy to form business with China. And one of the reason maybe western donot know why we donot take or cooporate the project with Japan is. Japan donot want to transfer or teach us any of the HSR developement. But with China cooperate they want to teach us about the HSR and China give us more cheap price. I also observe about Africa and I laugh so loudly. They told Africa to stop cooperate with China for their infrastructure. But they begging China to build Western. And if some western say. You donot benefit or profit from HSR. I think you are wrong. HSR is expensive and you may not profit in short term. But in long term, travelling, business, partnership, and etc between city in one country is more easy and efficient. That's why I think nowadays a modern and developed country can be seen from their infrastructure. That's all I wanted to say. Peace from Indonesia.

来自印度尼西亚。印尼许多美国力量和媒体也对中国印尼高铁发表负面言论。可悲的是，这里的很多人受到了西方的影响。但我很高兴高铁已经完成，它帮助我们很多人从首都雅加达到印尼的一个大城市万隆的交通变得更加便利。我们还支持继续向雅加达、万隆和泗水等其他大城市推进的项目。很高兴与中国开展业务。而且西方不知道我们为什么不与日本合作的一个原因可能是，日本不愿意向我们转让或教授任何高铁的发展。但与中国合作，他们愿意教导我们高铁，并以更便宜的价格提供给我们。我还观察了非洲，不禁大笑。他们告诉非洲停止与中国合作建设基础设施。但他们却恳求中国建设西方。如果一些西方人说你不从高铁中受益或获利，我认为你是错误的。高铁成本高，你可能在短期内没有利润。但从长远来看，一个国家内城市之间的旅行、业务、合作等变得更加容易和高效。这就是为什么我认为现代和发达国家可以从他们的基础设施中看出的原因。这就是我想说的。来自印尼的祝愿和平。

@raycomeau6866

The French have high speed trains, as does the Italians and the Spanish. But the English and the Americans seem unable to do so.

法国、意大利和西班牙都有高速列车。但英国和美国似乎无法做到。

@3066jc

We will never have a modern high speed railway, not within 30 or 50 years unless a drastic change in policy and people's attitude towards modern development and obviously if and when we have the money! Bloody unlikely now!

我们永远不会拥有现代的高速铁路，除非政策和人们对现代发展的态度发生很大的转变，显然也要看我们是否有资金！现在很不可能！

@daffyduck4195

It is mystifying that the HS2, which began in 2009 and spans only 225km, is projected to be completed by 2029-2033, mean while the Chinese will have completed 40,000km of HSR in the same timeframe.  I hear the UK enlisted the French and Japanese on the project.  The French will add fragrance and class to the trains and the Japanese will ensure the highest speed, but the UK villagers are still not giving in to the idea.

令人费解的是，始于2009年且仅长225公里的HS2高铁项目，预计将在2029-2033年完成，而与此同时，中国将在同一时间内完成4万公里的高铁建设。我听说英国在项目中纳入了法国和日本。法国将为列车增添芬芳和优雅，而日本将确保最高速度，但英国的村民仍然不同意这个想法。

@ronaldphoong

My thoughts run that the UK has a failing economy. Just as we see in the country that brought in Fiat money, their debts just continue to rise. What ponders me is the inability to recognize that Fiat money is unrealized wealth, until the debt is paid. You also see that these  countries finance military industries whereby their funds come from the country itself through debts which are paid by tax payers. Such debts borrowing have no returns in the future. That equates to future bankruptcy. Given the current standing since WW2,  debt has surpassed the ability to repay. US is one country that is always standing at a tipping point. In the last 30 years, US, UK have not invested in their own country's growth, inflation has rocket high and well, my guess is the debt default will eventually take place, just as we see in the US that the government would be shutdown and the frequent call to raise its debt ceiling. when a country function in this manner, thinking that destroying other countries will not have consequences, I ponder to think why not. Refugees, no wealth generation activities can only lead to self destruction. These are my thoughts that run through when someone shares a higher cost to spend for growth. If China takes up the project, politicians will definitely use the debt trap analogy to blame China. So, it's not how cheap China can give. The question should be if the country has sustainable policies to support their country.

我认为英国经济有问题。就像我们在引入法定货币的国家看到的那样，他们的债务不断增加。令我纳闷的是，他们无法认识到法定货币是未实现的财富，直到债务偿还之前。你还看到这些国家在军工方面提供资金，这些资金来自国家本身，通过纳税人支付债务。这种借债没有未来的回报。这等同于未来的破产。鉴于自二战以来的现状，债务已经超过了偿还的能力。美国是一个总是处于摇摆点的国家。在过去的30年里，美国、英国没有投资于本国的增长，通货膨胀飙升，而且，我猜测债务违约最终将发生，就像我们在美国看到的政府关门和频繁提高债务上限的情况一样。当一个国家以这种方式运作时，认为摧毁其他国家不会有后果，我想为什么不会。难民问题，没有财富生成活动只会导致自我毁灭。这些是我在有人分享为了增长而支付更高成本时所考虑的事情。如果中国接手了这个项目，政治家们肯定会使用债务陷阱的类比来指责中国。因此，问题不是中国能提供多便宜，而是该国是否有可持续的政策支持他们的国家。

@user-jk8co9qi6f

I'm curious why United Kingdom won't let Japan build high-speed rail. Japan listens to America very much. Everything is negotiable, price or technology

我很好奇为什么英国不让日本建设高铁。日本非常听美国的话。一切都可以协商，无论是价格还是技术。

@danstenis660

Building is a headache in Britain because of the cumbersome laws and people's obstructions.  It is better to work in other countries first, and the UK last.  If British citizens really want a railway to be built, then the people would clear all obstacles.  Only then is it worth the time and avoiding the headaches to build in the UK.

在英国建设是一项头痛的工作，因为繁琐的法律和人们的阻碍。最好先在其他国家工作，最后再在英国工作。如果英国公民真的想要建一条铁路，那么人们会清除所有障碍。只有那样才值得花时间，避免在英国建设时的烦恼。

The  Chinese built a high speed train between 2 major cities in just a year ,the issue in europe also seem to be we see them still sticking to rail and ties vs a high speed system being elevated and it being maglev or much higher technology's  then we see in europe so until europe is willing to tear out the old systems totally, you won't see much in the way of high speed trains

中国在短短一年内建成了两个主要城市之间的高铁，而在欧洲，问题似乎是他们仍然坚持使用铁轨和轨道，而不是采用高架的高速系统，而且采用的技术比我们在欧洲看到的要高得多。因此，在欧洲愿意彻底拆除旧系统之前，你不会看到太多高速列车。

In the UK we've been hearing for decades that billions of pounds investments in the nuclear power but the project did not materialise. Same for the travel infrastructure billions of pounds spent over the decades but travel sector is worser than some third world countries, broken up road surfaces, potholes and repair issues. Sometimes little bit of bad weather creates a chaos in the travel sector.

Now the energy crisis will create another decade of slow growth and UK could remain in recession.  It seems like heading for the stone age.

在英国，几十年来我们一直听说要投资数十亿英镑建设核电，但项目并未实现。旅行基础设施也是如此，数十年来花费了数十亿英镑，但旅行行业比一些第三世界国家还糟糕，道路破损、坑洼和修复问题丛生。有时候一点不好的天气就会在旅行行业造成混乱。

现在能源危机将导致另一个十年的经济增长放缓，英国可能会陷入衰退。看起来像是走向石器时代。
